What Do You Know From Funny?

We've totally whiffed on commenting about the LeBron/Kimmel commercials for the ESPYs. To us, these things are pure genius. LeBron, obviously, kills with his comedic timing and straight man delivery, while carrying Kimmel and his goons on his back. Look out Richard Pryor, there's a new King of Comedy on the block. George Burns who? Tonight should be a celebration of LeBron's true presence and status as a Global Icon...and we can't wait to see the gown that Sian Cotton has picked out as LeBron's date. It's clearly only a matter of time before LeBron's first feature film, and we can definitely see him as a Bond in the near future.

It's also a further pretty good day for LeBron--let's be honest, are there any bad days?--as he finds out just how much money he'll make playing hoops next year for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Our hearts do not go out to the King this morning, and we're not worried about his being able to make the mortgage payments in Bath, but there's no doubt he's the bargain of the century at $13mm+. Let's just hope that $17mm is enough to keep him in Cleveland for his extension year and that #35 figures out a way to lock him up past that.
