    I'm having real issues with figuring out what is and is not "news" according to ESPN. Or any media outlet, for that matter.

    LeBron James struggled with sudden fame after appearing on Sports Illustrated's cover as a 17-year-old and admits he smoked marijuana during his junior year in high school.

    I have the transcript from that fateful night ...

    Michael Phelps: No, LeBron, you don't want this. Get outta here!
    LeBron James: You know what, I don't want no hangover. I can't get no hangover.
    Phelps: It doesn't give you a hangover!
    James: Wha-I get addicted to it or something?
    Phelps: It's not habit-forming!
    James: Oh, okay... well, I don't know... I don't want to overdose on it.
    Phelps: You can't OD on it!
    James: Hmm.
    Phelps: You don't want it!

    LeBron "struggles" with fame and subsequently smokes marijuana. No big deal.

    I "struggle" with picking up women, and I'm not allowed within 500 feet of Jamison Elementary School.

    I should have just stuck to marijuana.

    I still can't believe that NBA players weren't clamoring to play in Vancouver.

    Well, at least this saves us days of speculation about what LeBron's smoking when he signs with the Nets next summer.

    This is an excerpt from an article from 2002:

    "Decisions about smoking or going to school, or stealing from a store or not stealing. Those are harder decisions. Yeah, I smoked weed. When it's around family, around friends, of course you want to try it. I tried it a couple of times. But when you get on the court and your wind ain't there, that's when you've got to just stop doing it. So the NBA decision ain't a hard decision compared to that."

    It was in that hotel room in Akron where James truly learned to be a great passer.

    then sat back and smugly watched the self-destruction

    This also accurately describes Mike Brown's coaching style during the Eastern Conference Finals.

    Many have smoked weed to forget that they're in Akron.

    It's a little parable, you see.

    I do see. But I prefer the one when the motorist is stranded by the side of the road and Eli Manning drives right by, and then Drew Brees drives right by and then Tony Romo stops and changes their tire.

    It's called, "These fucking morons can't change their own tires?"

    We had become big-headed jerks, me in particular

    Don't be so hard on yourself, LeBron. Your head only looked big because it was the size of Bissinger's entire body.

    Too bad LeBron didn't smoke more weed, or he could have become one of the best ultimate frisbee players of all time.

    Oddly enough, marijuana is a gateway drug to bacon cheeseburgers.

    Even if the endorsements ever dry up, Phelps should find movie work if some studio were to make a sequel to Big Fish.
