The Lebron James Rule
I wasn't going to post this link because this rumor has already been linked to via SLAM in the previous fanshot, but I feel the need to post it for the main content of the article.
By putting in writing the Lebron James method of terminating ones dribble (i.e. always taking three+ steps) as a legal maneuver, the league has opted to allow the floodgates to open vis a vis sloppy footwork.
For years now, Lebron has taken the liberty of terminating his dribble at the three point line with no vision of his teammates, taking two to three steps to determine if he will pass or shoot, and then taking an additional step or two to reach the basket if no player becomes available to pass to. With the rule change, we can now reasonably assume he will be allowed 5-7 steps without dribbling on most occasions. Conversely, any warriors player taking more than 2 steps or attempting to (gasp) jump stop, will be immediately suspended by the league and fined accordingly.

Yeah ,it’s just the typical dumbing down of a good thing to make it more appealing to the dim and lazy. If they think more scoring will put butts in the seats they’ll change even the most basic of the rules to attract the rich a**holes. I’d rather see them take a stand but that’s apparently not the american way these days.

But, LeBron's feet don't actually touch the earth when he walks....

![LeBron Displays His 'Flawed' Ability, Drops Warriors At Buzzer [Fear the Sword]
Looks like our friends over in Cleveland thoroughly enjoyed the clutchness last night from their lottery gift rental at the expense of another Warriors defensive breakdown [Talking Points].
Good for them even though they seem to have gotten a little carried away by Rick Barry's recent comments. Barry means well (I think?) he just has a funny way of expressing his thoughts.
Free LeBron! Seriously man- get outta the midwest aka the armpit of America as soon you can. Can you imagine how much more of a superstar LeBron would be if he played in a huge market like NY, LA, Chicago (the Oasis in the midwest), or the Bay Area?](http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/29095/3222365497_440b386340_o_small.jpg)
