Reporter (R): Yes, understandable LeBron; but no doubt you will be criticized for walking off the floor without congratulating anyone. Any comment?

James (J): "That's the way. . . of the world." (That's the Way of the World- Earth, Wind, and Fire)

R: Hmm, sounds a little flip, don't you. . ."

J: "Heat is on. . . pressure's high, just to stay alive." (Heat is On- Glenn Frey)

R: Allright, guess we'll just move on then. Now as far as the game went, knowing it was a lost cause toward the end. . .

J: "Well I don't know why I came here tonight. . . Got the feeling that something ain't right." (Stuck in the Middle with You- Steelers Wheel)

R: Ok, well, how about the play of your teammates?

J:  "Clowns to the left of me. . . Jokers to the right, here I am. . . Stuck in the middle with you." (same)

R: Wooaaa, LeBron, some harsh comments there concerning your team. So no confidence that your current team will help you reach the finals in the future?

J: "I see a bad moon rising. . . I see trouble on the way. I fear rivers overflowing. I hear the voice of rage and ruin." (Bad Moon Rising- Credence Clearwater Revival)

R: Interesting comment, sounds somewhat apocalyptic, there. Think that "voice of rage and ruin" will be coming from the fans, perhaps Commissioner Stern himself? No need to answer, we'll just leave it that and touch a little on your coming free agency. Oh, by the way. . . what are your plans for tonight after you get home?

J: "Do a little dance. . . Make a little love. . . Get down tonight--Get down tonight!" (Get Down Tonight- KC and the Sunshine Band)

R: Fantastic. Maybe I can join you. Now, is there a good possibility that your next contract will be with the Knicks. Better yet, is there anything that will prevent you from becoming a New York Knick?

J: "Ain't no mountain hiiigh enough. . . Ain't no valley looow enough. . . Ain't no river wide enough to keep me from getting to you." (Ain't No Mountain High Enough- Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell)

R: Sounds pretty definite. Now I heard that your agent is tops in his field. Can you give me a little example of how he negotiates your contracts?

J: "'He say I know you. . . You know me. One, and one, and one is three'" (Come Together- Beatles)

R: Yeah, sounds pretty simple; but I guess you don't need a Rhodes Scholar to negotiate with the Knicks.

J: "He got monkey finger. . . He shoot coca-cola. . ." (same)

R: Ok, LeBron. . .

J: "He got hair belooow his knees." (same)

R: Ok. . . ok. Fine LeBron. I don't need a personal description. I think we'll end this interview now. Thanks for your time. Still, I'm bothered about the comment concerning your teammates. Any personal responsibility on how this series went?

J: ". . . Some people say that there's a woooman to blame, and I know. . . It's my own d**n fault." (Margaritaville- Jimmy Buffet)

R: Thanks for coming clean, LeBron. You'll feel better for it in the end. Oh-oh. . . think the security guards figured I wasn't one of those Chinese investors. Think I'll just slip out this window here. Thanks again, LeBron

There you have it. LeBron James' interview after the game. You saw it here first.

Now I didn't get permission from all those wonderful artists to use their song lyrics. So hopefully, I gave them proper credit. If not, and if I get sued, hopefully all you from the

will speak up for me. I know you will. By the way. . . Lakers in a sweep.
