Last night I found myself watching TV and switching between two “sport” “events.” On ABC was the National Spelling Bee, which over the past several years has inexplicably become one of America’s premier television events. Watching adolescent Indian Americans battle each other for spelling supremacy makes for riveting network television, I suppose, and last night millions of people witnessed Anamika Veeramani from Cleveland, Ohio correctly spell “stromuhr” (a word my word processor insists does not exist) for the spelling championship.
On CNN was Larry King and his exclusive interview with basketball superstar LeBron James. After several years with the Cleveland Cavaliers, “King James” is now a free agent. After having accomplished nearly everything else in his seven-year NBA career, all accounts indicate that he’s looking to go to whichever team gives him the best chance to win a championship.
In other words, a 14-year old girl has done something LeBron James couldn’t do: Bring a championship to Cleveland.
