Cavs Board

So it’s no secret Lebron James loves Jason Kidd.  Last year, James lobbied for him to be traded to the Cavs, and considering the ridiculous size of Kidd’s contract, you’d have to have a healthy appreciation for his abilities in order to advocate handcuffing a team’s payroll with an aging point guard making in excess of 20 million dollars.  Well the Olympics brought a whole new level of man love as Lebron and Kidd played their ways to a gold medal performance for Team USA.  After the Olympics, Kidd had the following to say:

“I’m undefeated,” Kidd, 35, said. “I told them I can retire now from international ball, but LeBron [James] threw out something I didn’t like. He said he won’t play in 2012 unless I’m there.”

I could pretend I’m writing this because I’m interested in talking about Kidd and Lebron playing together someday, or how ridiculous it is that Jason Kidd is giving his gold medal to the wife of Las Vegas Casino owner Steve Wynn, or even Lebron’s claims of not playing in 2012 without Kidd, but I’ll leave that to others who do it better (Waiting for Next Year spoke on this subject earlier today even).  I really just wanted to throw my hat in the photoshop arena and combine a few of the creepier images that have emerged since the Olympics concluded.  

First there was this image of Jason Kidd taken after Team USA won gold.

He looks like a pedophile.  There’s a part of me that believes that he’s giving the medal away as a way to rid himself of any incriminating evidence (”the man with the giant gold medal and huge head touched me!”). But then while reading Ball Don’t Lie, I came upon this image of Lebron James at Morton’s upon returning to Cleveland.  

And now….. I give you the uncanny similarity.

I’ve available for freelance work.  I know my photoshop skills are tremendous.
