The more I researched David Blatt the more I thought of Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs and what they did to Miami. And I wondered if LeBron might find this kind of basketball appealing?

The rumors of LeBron returning home are picking up steam, yet everybody knows the next head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers will impact that possibility.

Pop is considered one of the best strategists in the game — a coach that demands his team to play like a team, a coach that demands ball movement, a coach that incorporates heavy doses of the Princeton offense.

Having said this, think of what we just saw in the Finals. Think about the pinpoint detection, diagnosis and dissection of the Miami Heat defense. I think that dissection left an indelible mark on LeBron James. I could be wrong, just a theory.

David Blatt is a proponent of the Princeton offense, having played there as a point guard himself for four years. Do you think LeBron James might be attracted to something like that, knowing he is a team player and a guy that felt the weight of the world on his shoulders?

I think he would.

And I think of the Spurs as an organization. How many players do they have from overseas? How many foreign players are on their team and contributed to destroying the Heat? Is David Griffin trying to model the Cavaliers after the Spurs and, if so, do you think LeBron James would look favorably on that? Also, do you think David Blatt has a good relationship with overseas scouts, coaches and players? Say yes.

Finally, imagine LeBron’s protégé, Kyrie Irving, playing like Tony Parker?

Tiger Woods is the Lord of the Headlines

Tiger Woods is still dominating headlines but the golf world has moved on. In terms of production, this is a man that hasn't been relevant in years but whatever he does cameras, microphones and interest follows him like TMZ on Travolta.

Adrian Peterson’s perdition

There's a ton of subterfuge swirling in and around the Adrian Peterson affair. Rumors and innuendo seem to be the currency used to build arguments as to where Minnesota's talented back is headed. So let me add to the speculation:

The curious case of Chris Borland

Good for Chris Borland. He made an immediate decision through a long-term lens and he seems to be at peace walking away from the game he loves and played so vigorously.

Markieff Morris: Do your job

"Do your job," Bill Belichick said, running his harry hands through his greasy hair. "Nobody is responsible for how you play but you…not your mother, not your aunt Edna…do…your…job."

LeBron

Recently, LeBron James tweeted something out that clearly referenced Kevin Love. He implored the social media populace to stop trying to "FIT-OUT" and start trying to "FIT-IN."
