CC Sabathia has told the NY Post and other media outlets that he would absolutely love to see Lebron James, his friend, come to New York. This is just the start of CC’s attempts in the media to lure James. For those of you who live in a cave, James will be a free agent this summer, and may explore other teams. It is believed that deep down Lebron, and Akron native, will remain in Cleveland. Nonetheless, Lebron is a huge Yankees fan, and was quoted as saying the following before several Yankees attended one of his games in New York,

“The fact that they would take time out of their schedule,” James said, “especially with what they just accomplished, to come see a basketball game, come see us play, come see the Knicks play, it’s humbling for me as an individual and it’s humbling for our team that you would come out and support us.”

CC Sabathia has already begun his recruiting. He’s been in Cleveland, and now he pitches for the Yankees so he knows first hand the difference.

“There’s nothing like winning here. There’s nothing like playing here. The fans and just the whole experience. There’s nothing you can compare it to. And I’m just happy that I made the right decision.”

For certain, the two communicate via text and phone calls. The question is, can the big man do it? Certainly there is the awe of playing in Madison Square Garden in New York. Please prepare yourself because this story is going to be on ESPN 24/7 in a few months. As an aside, Lebron has told CC he would seriously consider the Knicks is A-rod never wears that fuggin hat to one of his games ever again….
