And now a brief sports observation

If you are a camera operator and LeBron James is driving the lane, you should immediately tilt down directly at the floor because gravity will almost certainly viciously blindside him at some point on his way to the basket.

I'd like to call on the NBA to swaddle LeBron in bubble wrap and a protective layer of Jell-O before every game because it just isn't fair that he has to deal with g-forces well in excess of those normally experienced by jet pilots while his competitors are babied with a gravitational pull that is more closely associated with reality.

It is remarkable and heroic that LeBron does not burst into flames as he hurdles toward the hardwood at supersonic speeds, completing his descent by exploding through the floorboards. A lesser player would scream in anguish as his jersey literally disintegrates due to the friction and would not find the inner strength to rise to his feet and take two completely unguarded shots like a man.
