I grew up the fifth of eight kids in Los Angeles. As a kid, I had absolutely no interest in sports. When I was 14 years old, my brother gave me a purple football jersey for Christmas. He had the number 88 hot stamped on it. That's before you could get NFL jerseys, it was just a ten dollar item from J.J. Newberry's. Any way, this kid I used to fight with all the time told me that I looked stupid in my Vikings jersey. We fought, and at that moment I became a Vikings fan and never looked back. The only thing I've been longer than a Minnesota Vikings fan...is alive !!!!!!! In 1980 my dad said to me: "that kid, Magic Johnson of the Lakers is a really good player!" I never even knew my dad liked sports. So, I watched basketball (for the first time ever) with my dad. Just so happens, they won it all that year. How could I not get hooked? This is why...I bleed purple!

As I lay awake solving the problems of the world I moved on to sports.After Linsanitizing my mind I came to the next biggest story in the NBA; LBJ/Cavs reunion and the uproar it caused. Everything from "He did it to seek Cleveland's forgiveness" to, "We (Cavs' fans) would never take him back" and "He should just shut up and play ball". So, as I lay there trying to make lemonade, I came up with two excellent solutions! First, LeBron James should stay in Miami and second (even better) solution...LBJ should play for the Los Angeles Lakers!Think about it. Just about everyone comes out a winner if…
