A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, Jodi had a job, somewhere, doing something, I think it was the job when she worked with Richard. But that is not the story, this story is about LeBron James, and the price of Nikes in China.
So, this job of legend bought a tent at this golf tournament... again, details, we don't need no stinking details. It was a reason to put on some bright green pants and swill down free beer , crabby puffs and cheesy doodles. I do remember it was a beautiful day, and many, if not most of the folks in the crowd were all into the little balls and holes. "Our" tent was in a very good location. Random faceless golf stars kept wandering buy with their little posses. But there was a BIG buzz through out the whole place. Buzz, buzz, buzz.....
" He is coming! ", "Two holes away....", tick , tick, tick.
Grown men, jumping on one another, children, all but breaking down into tears. Glory be to God in the highest, he is here!! A very tall, very good looking, very tall African American man walked into view.
"Who is this Jordan Michaels guy ?", I asked , reaching for my next Heineken. I did look good asking the question. All of America is ga-ga over where is LeBron James going to play basketball next year. Everyone is offering the max of 90+ million a year, ESPN is having an all night live expo on the whos, whats, whens and wheres. Stocks of corporations that he may play for soared yesterday. He is the earth and the moon, and I am not sure I could pic his picture out of the newspaper.
Maybe I should branch out more often.....
