THE MORNING BREW People should respect LeBron James
ESPN.com
guess it's true; LeBron James really does do everything.
Think about it. The man is a four-time MVP, a two-time NBA Finals champion and a producer. Yes, you did read that correctly. On Tuesday, ESPN.com reported that James, along with some friends, will be developing a new show on the Starz network called "Survivor's Remorse."
The show is about two men who grow up in an inner city and aspire to be famous, just like James did. The show will concentrate on the struggles and adversities these men overcome to obtain the success they dream of.
Whether you love him or hate him, every one should respect what James is trying to do by creating this show.
In the ESPN.com report, James, who is from Akron, Ohio, discusses how he was
supposed to be a statistic, but because of his hard work and dedication, he is now looked upon as the inspiration for others to get out of inner-city streets.
This was what James' wants to illustrate with his show, and even the citizens of Cleveland have to appreciate this. Whether they admit it or not, James still has a
significant purpose in those people's lives.
Superstar athletes of James' stature often forget their roots and look solely at their accomplishments, rather than how they achieved their prosperity. Many despise James and his decision to leave Cleveland, but can you blame him for trying to chase his dreams?
How can people still not respect someone who started with so little, when he now has so much? If he never cheated to obtain his success, like many athletes do nowadays, and never lied about what his aspirations were, then why do people still want him to fail?
Something that is often forgotten is that, as an 18-year-old, James had the pressure
us have trouble managing the pressure and responsibility of being a college student. Try being responsible for a whole city.

sout Twins 6-5 on Wednesday.
Jonathan Villar singled to start the ninth and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Jose Altue. Crowe's line drive to left field off Brian Duensing (6-2) allowed the speedy Villar to score easily, giving Houston its first win in six tries against Minnesota.
Ryan Doumit's leadoff home run in the ninth against Astros reliever Erik Bedard (4-10) tied it at 5.
er Erik Bedard (4-10) tied it at 5.
Minnesota was down 3-0 after a
three-run first inning by the Astros
before tying it on a three-run
shot by Alex Presley in the third.
It was Presley's first homer since
being acquired from Pittsburgh in the trade for Justin Morneau. Pedro Florimon doubled to open the eighth and scored on a groundout by Darin Mastroianni as the Twins closed to 5-4. Before tying it, Minnesota squandered a chance in the seventh when Chris Herrmann grounded into an inning-end double play with the bases loaded. Brandon Barnes had two RBIs and Chris Carter and Brett Wallace added two hits apiece for Houston.
Minnesota starter Liam Hendriks yielded eight hits and five runs in 4 1-3 innings, leaving him with just one win in six starts this season.
Houston starter Jordan Lyles allowed four hits and three runs in 6 1-3 innings.
An RBI double by Wallace put Houston up 1-0 in the first inning. Carter walked before Wallace barely scored on a single by Marc Krauss and make it 2-0, and Barnes added a sacrifice fly. Presly came out on top of a 13-pitch at-bat in the third, coming back from an 0-2 count before hitting a tying home run to right field. Jose Altuve doubled with two outs in the fourth and scored on Crowe's single for a 4-3 lead. Carter led off the fifth with a single, then the 6-foot-4, 245-pound slugger took second on his second steal this season. Barnes' single off reliever Ryan Pressly pushed Houston's lead to 5-3. Krauss was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday and was Houston's designated hitter. The Twins are off on Thursday before opening a 10-game homestand with a three-
game series against Toronto.
The Astros open a four-game series with Oakland on Thursday when Houston's Brad Peacock opposes Sonny Gray. Minnesota All-Star C Joe Mauer, who has missed 16 games after sustaining a concussion, is scheduled to take batting practice at Target Field on Wednesday. Astros All-Star C Jason Castro was out of the lineup for the second straight game after spraining his right knee on Monday. Manager Bo Porter said he is still sore and that he isn't sure when he'll return.
