KING ME: LeBron fulfills his destiny with a title for Cleveland
As the clock strikes triple zero jubilation eruption from the visiting bench.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have won the 2016 NBA Championship.
52 years & 146 major-sports seasons were completed in Cleveland since their last title, 1964 Browns.
The drought was over, the curse broken.
Instead of reminiscing on failures the city can create new memories of triumph and it all started with a letter.
The Answer: Hip Hop’s First Athlete

Back in the 2000s Ohio State was, with the Youngstown Boys Maurice Clarrett & later Terrelle Pyror, building a football powerhouse culminating in the 2002 upset of the undefeated University of Miami.

Unapologetically Black: The Persona. The Man. The G.O.A.T. Muhammad Ali
When speaking about the impact Malcolm X had, Ossie Davis explained he was our manhood. Though Davis’ remark was for Malcolm it’s still relevant for another man, Muhammad Ali.
When he criticized for his association with the black Muslims and was denied his name he fought Floyd Patterson to prove his worth. Beating his opponent throughly within the fight before knocking him out in the 12th round. In 1967 after being internationally loved he rejected the draft for the Vietnam War and his heavy championship was taken from his. Banned for years, in his prime he still didn’t back down.
Muhammad Ali was unapologetically black. Like Jack Johnson’s ‘unforgivable blackness’ he was brash, speaking his mind and not compromising to any one’s standards.
