And now the latest episode of All My LeBrons, or The Guiding LeBron, or General LeBronpital, in which our hero breaks up with Laura, sending her into Luke's arms and making hope blossom in the breasts of Bam and Steph and Luke Kornet and who knows who all ...
Oh, it is a most soapy summer in the NBA, where 41-year-old LeBron James is a free man looking for one last place to steal his heart.
Having broken up with the Los Angeles Lakers, in other words, where will LeBron land?
Steph Curry wants him with Golden State. Luke Kornet's pitched the Spurs. How about the Heat, where the Superfriends (LeBron, DwyaneWade and Chris Bosh) won a couple of titles?
Will the siren song of home again pull LeBron back to Cleveland for an auld lang syne closing of the circle? What about the 76ers, where LeBron, Joel Embid, Tyrese Maxey and just-acquired Celtics star Jaylen Brown could be Superfriends II? Or the Timberwolves, where he'd team up with Ant (Anthony Edwards)?
Tune in, I don't know, sometime for the dramatic conclusion!
Or better yet, check out tomorrow's script, which the Blob has acquired through not at all nefarious means:
(Fade in on LeBron's palatial mansion. He and Steph Curry are having an intense confrontation)
Steph: But ... but ... you said we'd be together! You and me, the dynamic duo! That's what you said!
LeBron: Now, wait a minute, I never said that.
Steph: Yes, you did!
LeBron: No I DIDN'T. I said we made a good couple. I never said we'd be THE couple.
Steph: So there's someone else! I knew it! Who is it? It's Embid, isn't it? Or ... or ... that trashy slut Ant! And don't think I haven't noticed you making goo-goo eyes at Cleveland! Really, LeBron? You want to go back to that well AGAIN?
LeBron: Look ... Steph ... this is a big decision. But no matter how it turns out, we'll always be tight, won't we? You know I have nothing but respect for you, brothe--
(Rustling noises and whispers from behind the closet door)
Steph: What's that? Who's in there, LeBron?
(Strides over and flings open the door. Staring back at him, slightly embarrassed, are Embid, Ant, Bam Adebayo from the Heat and Donovan Mitchell from the Cavaliers)
Steph: HA! I KNEW it! Why, you degenerate piece of crap! Sorry to interrupt your little bro-fest, 'Bron! Look, Mitchell's even wearing your old Cavs jersey, the little hussy!
(Stomps out, sobbing)
LeBron: STEPH!!
(He turns to the four men behind the door. Opens his mouth to say something. Fade to black)
What will he say? What will he do? Tune in tomorrow for the next thrilling installment of "Days Of Our Young And Restless LeBrons"!
