So the sky is falling in the city of Cleveland. Oh hey, I am back in the states. New podcast coming on Friday. Anyways, the sky is falling in Cleveland as the Cavaliers lost to the Boston Celtics, and Lebron James had one of the worst playoff performances of his career. Now the Cavs could definitely come back and win this series, but people are starting to question whether Lebron will stay in Cleveland, and has this blogger question the whole reason why he is called King James.
True someday, Lebron could win a ton of titles and be the greatest player to ever play the game, but shouldn’t he be crowned the King after he has proven it. As of now he has no Kingdom, and a resume similar to Steve Nash’s (two MYVP’s, no rings), yet we don’t call Nash, King Nash. So what makes a king? Here are some of my ideas:
1. King Arthur
Accomplishments: Round Table, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early sixth century, the lady of the lake, Excalibur, Awesomely depicted in such films as “The Sword and the Stone”, “Excalibur”, and “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”
I mean the man defined the word King:
2. King Tut
Accomplishments: the fucking pyramids, worshiped as a god, ten year rule over Egypt
Oh, and he became King at age 9, so there’s that.
3. Abe Froman, the Sausage King of Chicago
Accomplishments: Became the king of Sausages in a city that brushes their teeth with them, gets into the finest restaurants, dates Sloan Petersen, mad skills with a multi-line phone system.
4. Burger King
Accomplishments: profits are up in a weakened economy, kept millions of college students fed for over 50 years, gave the world “where’s the Beef”, and now makes the creepiest commercials ever:
5. Stacey King
Accomplishments: won three NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls, played roughly five season in the NBA.
