Coach K's plan for LeBron

It was a sight to warm the hearts of Coach Mike Krzyzewski, managing director Jerry Colangelo or anybody else connected with the U.S. Olympic men's basketball team. There was LeBron James, a smile on his face, standing beyond the three-point arc Wednesday afternoon at the end of practice at Valley High, pumping in shot after shot, making six of nine in one sequence, free of a walking boot or any other medical device on his right leg. Only 24 hours earlier, James, diagnosed with a mild sprain of his right ankle, was stretched out on a trainer's bench in that same gym, his right foot encased in ice, a frown on his face. "It feels a lot better today," James said. "When it first happened, it didn't feel good at all." James, who injured the ankle when he inadvertently stepped on Kevin Durant's foot during a scrimmage Tuesday, sat out practice Wednesday and was expected to sit out Friday's exhibition game against Canada, the team's final activity before heading for the Olympics in China. James is confident the healing process will be swift.

Good. Glad he's fine.

If he hadn't played and the USA lost...the USA could potentially use that as an excuse. Considering the depth of talent, it would be a lame excuse...but it would be an excuse nonetheless.

No worries here...James is a young gifted athlete and will heal quickly....Lets bring home the Gold Fellas!

I just dont want to see him get hurt worse. I am hoping Argentina doesnt qualify for the same reason I want Ginobili to rest.

USA are an over-rated losers. They are clowns who can get wide open shots in. You can be happy if you'll achieve 1/2 which I don't think you will!
