Love is in the air. It has been beautiful. The birds are singing and the flowers are blooming. What a time to be in love, so I hear! I am still single. I’m not even dating. Is it because I’m fat?

I believe I am in the wrong state. I have lived in Iowa my whole life, and I am still single. Either I am doing something wrong or I am not appreciated. For years, I thought it was my fault. I would sit at home every weekend and feel sorry for myself. Loneliness can physically be felt. I found comfort in food. I didn’t like myself. Well, guess what?

How can LeBron James seriously be contemplating on whether or not to attend Syracuse, or any college for that matter? The real question, however, is how good would those two be together? One doesn’t need to think to hard to find the answer. In fact, insert any adjective which is synonymous with unreal, ungodly, or the proverbial “wow.” It would be a valid explanation of how untouchable Syracuse would be next year. Never before would the sports fans of America have witnessed a duo quite as potent as this potential combination. Not in college basketball, not in the DMACC Bears Baseball team won a doubleheader against Ellsworth Friday NBA, not in any level of athletic competi- April 11, 11-2 and 10-5. The team split with Muscatine on April 12, winning 5-0 tion. and losing 11-8. James and Anthony on the same Syracuse team would transcend any domi- nance that Jordan and Pippen, Montana and Rice, or Johnson and Schilling ever imposed on the opposition in their prime. Of course, it would be on a smaller scale. With all due respect, those players were professionals, and the duos mentioned above held their sport at their mercy for an extended period of time. Nevertheless, if LeBron James joined Syracuse next year, he and Anthony would take the Orangemen to unprecedented heights. One fact that can’t be underscored is that the two are best friends. They attend- ed several basketball camps together, and have remained in close contact over the course of this year. Team chemistry will be more than adequate to repeat as national champions. The opposition will be who’s jealous. Page THE BANNER April 16, 2003 12 FLIP SIDE
