it was a difficult series for lebron james.this point, lebron james could have shot bin laden and people would be like, but you only took one shot. the governor of ohio today issued resolution praising the dallas mavericks, who do not reside in ohio, as far as i know, for beating the miami heat, without naming lebron james specifically, the resolution commended the mavericks for their loyalty, integrity and team work and made them honorary ohioans. ohioans? which i guess is an honor? the resolution also singled out mvp dirk nowitzki for choosing to re-sign with the mavericks and skip free agency, this remaining to the team, city and fans for whom he played the entire career. obviously lebron james did not do that. when did the state of ohio become a crazy ex-girlfriend? [ laughter ] it's time to get over this. the best thing to happen to your state is a basketball team from another state winning the nba title, things are not necessarily good. [ laughter ] in dallas, things were very good. there was a very big celebration today.

visit remax.com today. >>> lebron james dupgs on a kid. i understand he did make it up to him, though. >> he did make it up to him. it was kind of funny. yesterday lebron was at a basketball camp with some 15- year-olds, high school students playing the game of knockout. and low problem got up to the line, a shot missed, which to me is the headline, but then lebron decides before the person behind him can get a basket he decides he's going to dunk. so he goes up and dunks right on top of this 15-year-old kid, knocks him to the ground, and, but lebron was a good guy, apologized afterwards and made it up to him. the headline is lebron missed. >> i know, right. i just saw that. i didn't see that before, but he kind of had to make up for his own miss there, right? >> exactly. >> rory, do you remember in the video we put up where lebron james wore like a 15-year-old or 17-year-old kid actually -- i dunk on lebron james. this was about 6, 7 months ago. >> i do remember that, yes. and it just went into my head. maybe because of the that bad memory

so much talk surrounding lebron james and the mavs win the title against miami. how did it feel? did you get a lot of high-fives? is there a lot of competition? is lebron a friend of yours? >> lebron is a friend of mine. and he said afterwards, if there is one person to lose to, it would be you. you deserve it more than anybody. so i thanked him for that. he was first class. and he is young. there has ban lot of pressure and a lot of negative talk on him. but he will win championships and he'll win more than one. it's just a matter of time. >> this is not your first trip to the american century golf tournament. how are your game? >> unfortunately, i'm not on the leader board unless i bury the first hole. but i have a lot of fun, tahoe is a beautiful play and american century puts on a great show. >> and it's great for charity, raising money. >> it's also great for charity. today we're trying to achieve that, with all the great talent, the players here. not just professional athletes but entertainers too. >> what is next for you, jason? >> trying to conquer this game. >> i have no

the miami heat, this friday, one year since the decision of lebron james, it provided just an amazingt of interest and heat in the league itself, pardon the expression. >> i wonder also, this is a hard question to ask, because i'm not sure how much polling there is on this, but your sense of we have gone through these intense labor battles in wisconsin, we've seen them in ohio. i feel there's been a daunting consciousness. i wonder if that changed the dynamic of how the public receives information about this. >> it's a great question. >> when it's multi-million a year basketball player. >> great question, there is polling to back this up, the public sides with the players, and in the nba we don't have the polling yet, but one of the differences is it's a lockout, not a strike, so it's the owners who are locking the doors. that's a key difference. in the nfl there's been a blossoming consciousness of what nfl players go through, they die twenty years sooner than the american male, concussions, average playing three and a half years. troy pol mall lieu said it's not millions versus bill

and just to make sure that these gugu don't leave them like lebron james did, cleveland, not only didy draft the players, they also took their families hostage. ron artest, by the way, ron artest of the los angeles lakers had big news today. ron actually filed papers to have his name legally changed to metta worldpeace. metta will be his first name and his last name will be worldpeace. the lakers should not have let him go to burning man. that was a mistake. i hope -- and i know this is bad but i hope he has another fight in the stands. remember when he beat up that fan? wouldn't it be great to see a fan get punched in the face by worldpeace? i think it's time to stop thanking his psychiatrist.t. elsewhere in the world of sports, wimbledon is going on in england right now. commentators dick enberg and chris evert were kind enough to provide us our "unintentional joke of the day." >>> think back to one of the leaders of the all-england club. didn't exactly have his color code directly but his argument was, you realize we have yellow balls, green grass stains, and we'll have bloody blue

. >> i mean people got mad at lebron james when he walks away from cleveland. he walked away from his owner. there was a sense of ownership that he they had while he was playing there. it's up to him if he's able to move as a free agent to miami, l.a., whenever, that should be his choice. but whatever is that because we are so used to people owning everything, then we are settling. that's one the problems now. a lot of these so-called millionaires are fighting the billionaires. they are just millionaires. they are not the billionaires. they are not the owners. you can count, like you said, there's four. i would ask you to count how many minorities own sports franchises. >> how many? >> one. >> wow. >> bob johnson. that's right of charlotte. >> and to take that lock out, metaphor into this, only reason hip hop happened is because of a lockout; right? hip hop was locked out of the club, radio stations, record stores, locked out of the record companies. that's why all of these guys could create their own companies. that's lockout really continued into the mid '90s

let me ask you about lebron james.h other superstars, chris bosh, dwyane wade, all on the heat? just as an example. are they hurting the league by joining forces and going to big cities? >> actually, you know, the perception of that is that they are, however, i believe that perception is very inaccurate. if you look back over the history of the game, football and basketball, superstars have always tried to join forces, they've always tried to play with each other. and all the same players have always tried to get together and have tried to win championships. >> i think if you're a heat fan, you've enjoyed watching them play. do you think we're going to have a season this fall? yes or no? >> i think you're going to have a shortened season and i do believe that you could possibly miss the whole season. >> wow. isiah thomas on the phone with me. pleasure meeting you here on live tv. enjoy the weekend with your family. thank you. >> thank you. now this. >>> here in the midwest, several young girls went missing. some were f

we don't want to let you go without asking about lebron james because a lot of heat this year for signingthen under performing in the finals. what do you think about that? do you think it's fair for him to shoulder so much of the blame there? >> well, i don't think that any one person can win the world championship for a team. it's impossible. it's a team game and i think the dallas team proved that this year in how they won the world championship. but i think lebron put a lot of pressure on himself just by the way he handled the public spotlight on him. i think he got into it a little bit too much and made a lot of people feel that he could do it all and then when he didn't do it all by himself, which is an impossible thing, they came down on him. so you know, lot of this is his own fault, but i'm sure he'll handle it better as time goes on. he probably learned a lot from this and will take a different posture with the public as time goes on. >> all right. well thank you so much for your perspective. we miss the sky hook, the short shorts back in the day. such a pleasure to see you. >> t

redistricting is really one of the only arena is, not the only arena in which it is fair to compare lebron james and dennis kucinich. i do not think he will do any better in terms of winning. i really think examples of how redistricting affects our politics are everywhere around us, even if they're not necessarily part of the news articles that we read on major issues at stake these days. during the medicare fight, i do not think last to anyone could a predicted paul ryan from the state of wisconsin would generate so much attention in coverage this year in terms of the fiscal woes facing the state. i think a lot of the attention on his district has been misplaced because democrats are saying, well, we have this candidate robert durham. allied of pendants, a lot of people you talk to the consulting world, very few who are credible would give him a chance of really taking it to paul ryan. but i do find significance in his district. if you plot out all house seats, the most republicans the most democratic in the country, on our scale of the voting index, guess which one is the 218th district? it is

there was a lot of interest because the people wanted to tune in as the anti lebron james fans.e ratings were terrific. the league is very strong. that's the problem in football as well. it has never been more popular and yet millionaires fight with billionaires, at least the fans caught in the middle and right now, it's a little different because there are no games being played. but the people i feel for are the employees of the teams. they're traditionally very lowly paid employees. they're caught in the squeeze and some teams will lay off these employees. i don't want to hear about it. >> we'll try and do that after this interview though. the nfl has extensive revenue sharing and with that though, the last three cities to win the super bowl, green bay, indianapolis and pittsburgh. do you think revenue style sharing could be the key? >> well, that's probably the model for all sports. baseball resisted as well. will we ever see a pittsburgh pirate world championship again? that's a real major issue. the sharing of revenues and yes, a team like green bay can win a world champion

lebron james has taken a lot of criticism. i know lebron very well.verything that everyone is saying. i think he's going to have the mvp year this year. >> not bad for a rookie. no word from the forgotten chris bosh. >>> couples supposed to have each other's back, stand up for each other. we know one wife takes that very seriously. here's jeanne moos. >> reporter: wendi murdoch was easy to pick out in pink. when you're 38 years younger than your husband, it's nice to rub him back and pour him water before he testifies. she even restrained him when he pounded the table too much. but she didn't restrain herself when this happened. an activist pulled a foam-filled plastic pie plate out of a plastic bag, some of that foam landed on cnn producer jonathan wald as the attacker -- >> plunges it squarely into the face of murdoch. >> reporter: and that's when his wife wendi whacked the guy, even hit him with the plate. >> it was extremely dramatic. >> reminds us of the woman who used her purse to try to knock the gun out of a hostage taker's hand. at a school b

redistricting is really one of the only arena is it not the only arena in which it is fair to compare lebron james and dennis kucinich. i really don't think that dennis kucinich even if he decides to take his talent elsewhere perhaps the two washington state, will do any better in terms of winning. that i really think the examples of how redistricting affects our politics are everywhere around us. even if they are not necessarily part of the news articles that we read on major issues at stake these days. during the medicare fight for example, i don't think glass tyranny of us could have predicted that paul ryan or the state of wisconsin would generate so much attention and coverage this year in terms of the fiscal woes facing the state and paul ryan's budget and i think a lot of the attention on the district has been replaced because democrats are saying well we have got the kenosha county supervisor and a lot of pundits, a lot of people you've talked to in the consulting world. very few of them who are credible would give him a chance of taking it to paul ryan. but i do find significant in his di

some say the goodwill between the two sides is about to disappear like lebron james in the fourth quarter from atlanta. tell us the basics what is behind the nba lockout. >> quite a shot there, ali, by the way. well, the basics is that after 18 months of negotiation, the players and owners could not come to an agreement on a new collective bargaining green light agreement the lockout went into effect. fans left if a season this fall. the hours before the contract expired both sides met in new york reporting little progress on the revenue sharing. really any progress on any of the issues facing them. after thursday's session broke, representatives from both sides went before lights and cameras to ponder where we go from here. >> we had a great year, in terms of the appreciation of the fans for our game. it just wasn't a profitable one for the owners. and it wasn't one that the -- many of the smaller market teams, particularly enjoyed or felt included in, and so the goal here has been to make the league profitable and to have a league where all 30 teams can compete. since neither of those g

had lebron james, arguably one of the best basketball players in the entire country being paid $40 million, $40 million a year to be able to play basketball. well, if he wants to earn just $1 trillion, we have to wish him very good health. he'll have to play basketball for 25,000 years to earn just $1 trillion. we've stacked up over $14.4 trillion. the president has asked for a blank check to increase the debt of this country an additional $2 trillion-plus. it's the time now for fiscal responsibility in washington. it is. we have to rise to be able to meet that challenge. cut, cap and balance. is that unreasonable? we can demonize it. we can say that washington is above the rules of every american and the rules they have to be able to live with or we can look to the people who we sent to washington to stand up for us, to live under the same constraints that we do in our individual lives. if we've spent more than we've taken in, we have to be able to find ways to cut back. we then also have to have that alternative to be able to restrain that spending. and then to be able to balance the bud
