LeBron Looks Good

Cleveland is happy today -- LeBron looked pretty good in his first taste of NBA-level basketball. Actually he looked like he was the most talented player on the court and provided evidence that he just might be as good as hoped. His stats were not great, but pretty good. It's incredible how much positive mojo surrounds LeBron and the Cavs at the moment, especially considering how many people are waiting for the other shoe to drop. It's just one preseason game, but it all looks pretty good now.

I'm starting to wonder how much the Cavs can encroach on the Browns winter-sports dominance. I don't think too much. The NFL and NBA are not really head-to-head competitors. They may vie for the sports headlines in the Plain Dealer and Akron Beacon-Journal, but I don't think too many people consider the Browns + Cavs an either/or proposition. All those LeBron jersey will probably hurt Browns apparel sales. But I'll bet $50 that at a preseason Browns game I see someone wearing a Browns jersey with "23" and "James" on the back.
