Ray Allen x All-Star Game

Ray Allen 

LeBron recently reached out to Ray Allen in an attempt to persuade Ray to sign with the Cavs this season.  Considering all the injuries that the Cavs have faced, Allen would be a great addition.  After a long NBA career, Allen is at the point where the playoffs do not phase him.  Younger players, like JR Smith will have numerous problems on the playoffs.  Smith may force shots and be very nervous throughout the playoffs.  Allen, on the other hand, will allow the game to come natural. 

Allen would also be the perfect mentor for JR Smith, along with LeBron.  The frustrations that LBJ has faced this season is no different than the difficulties Allen faced with the Bucks throughout the early portion of his career.  Along with these factors, Allen may also help to ease the tension between Cavalier’s coach, David Blatt and multiple players.  LeBron may even have a few things to learn regarding his ability to coexist with a coach that he may not approve of.

I'm the one twice over, I'm the new 11

How fast time goes, LBJ will start in his 11th all-star game in a row next month at Madison Square Garden.  It seems clear that we will never see Bron in a slam dunk contest yet we still enjoy his entertainment tactics every All-Star weekend.  Who can forget Bron and Shaq dancing, those amazing dunks and even those parties that he host alongside Jay-Z year-after-year.  

We may have seen Bron’s last All-Star battle with Kobe due to Bryant’s recent injury.  It will be interesting to see how Bron and his former Miami teammates interact.  Cleveland learned that the King can make a return therefore treating LeBron with respect is in their best interest.
