LeBron Dedicates New Sneaker
Broncos Vs. Colts Thursday Night
To Younger Generation With
Design Help From His Sons
At 8:15 P. M.
LeBron James was fresh out of high school when he was selected No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA Draft.
Now entering his 20th season, the 18-time All-Star is using his Nike signature shoe to pass the torch to rising stars like his sons Bronny and Bryce. James' second decade of basketball also brings his 20th sneaker itera- tion, which started with the Nike Air Zoom Generation.
"This shoe was made for the next generation and that was with Bronny and Bryce in mind," James said at a Los Angeles Lakers practice this week.
The LeBron XX is the first time that the sneaker is a low-

top shoe, which is a direct re- sult of listening to the in- tended audience.
"Understanding the bas- ketball player of today and the people of today like the lower shoe. They like much lower to the floor. They like a little bit more lighter,"
James said. "I listened to the athletes. I've got two of them in my household, so that was pretty easy. I listened to what they wanted to say. They ac- tually sat in on some of the meetings with me. We all lis- tened to them and we made it happen."

Something... But Unless He Hits 74,
Barry Bonds Is Still The 'Home Run King'
Many fans in the baseball world are starting to question whether Barry Bonds' sin- gle-season home run record should count. Although this has always been a topic of discussion, talks have in- creased since Aaron Judge hit 61 home runs. Judge is currently one home run away from holding the all-time American League single-sea- son home run record. The hype around Judge doing that is laughable. The bias media is trying to down play Bonds, but it's a joke.
Back in 2001, Barry Bonds had a truly one-of-a- kind season, setting the all- time MLB single-season home run record with 73 deep flies. Since then, how- ever, it has emerged that Bonds was using perform- ance enhancing drugs at that point in his career. This has had a significant impact on his legacy, having failed to reach the Hall of Fame via the traditional voting method. Someone with Bonds' stats could easily reach the Hall of Fame without PED use.
Not only was it Bonds,

but everyone who had more home runs than Judge was involved in steroid use. Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa appeared on the list multiple times, and both got busted for their use of PEDs. Some are now say- ing that none of their home run seasons should count, with Judge being the sole leader.
"Aaron Judge hitting 61 means something. When he hits 62, that’ll mean some- thing, too. But unless he hits 74, Barry Bonds is still the
Home Run King no matter what Roger Maris, Jr. says. He don’t get to decide that." - Jared Carrabis
However, many have dis- agreed with this take, as they argue that nothing can take away the fact that these play- ers hit those home runs. MLB insider Jared Carrabis commented on the issue by saying, "But unless he hits 74, Barry Bonds is still the Home Run King no matter what Roger Maris, Jr. says. He don’t get to decide that."
