LeBron James

Only Roxana knows of my addiction to Cleveland, Ohio pro basketball, but I am about to out my self. The first time I photographed LeBron James, he was a skinny St Vincent St Marys High School freshman. He graduated from high school, skipped college and went directly in to the pros. Now he is the all-time leading scorer for the Cleveland Cavaliers team (as well as leading the NBA this season in scoring.)

Huh. Does this love extend to all things basketball or just this man?

I am not a fan of pro ball, but high school and college ball makes me crazy--evidently it is genetic, as I got it from my mom.

I have had some brushes with soon to be famous players, but not taking pictures of them. I once was groped by LaPhonso Ellis in high school though-that was probably the first brush. lots mroe after that though!
