A bit of sports news this morning….

Despite all the fanfare before the NBA season, it looks like Lebron James may only be a prince. Carmelo Anthony (who spent a year at Syracuse University) has been quietly helping the Denver Nuggets to a 11-6 record, compared to James’ Cleveland Cavaliers 4-14. And the two met again last night, this time in Denver, and Anthony again got the best of James with Denver winning. Anthony had a productive game, and his hot streak in the 4th quarter helped seal the win for Denver.

James may have a more polished game, but as the season wears on, Anthony will get more and more attention, especially if the Nuggets keep their winning record. James could do everything right every night, but if the Cavaliers only win once every ten games, no one will really care. Currently, James is always the optimist, saying Cleveland will get better, but how long til the honeymoon is over?
