Mashup: LeBron labeled heroin

In Tuesday's Morning Mashup, ,we have thoughts on Kobe Bryant calling the Lakers "his team," details of the Jets reportedly bringing in another player with baggage, trivia and much more ... 

There has been a lot of discussion of LeBron James' re-emergence into the public consciousness in a positive light this summer. This makes sense, of course, after he got over the hump winning his first NBA title and led Team USA to a gold medal in the Olympics. The success on the court has even granted James the opportunity to offer a candid mea culpa in terms of how he handled The Decision. 

With all that goodwill coming back around LBJ's way, it was rather comical when a story came out that a drug dealer labeled his heroin "LeBron James" and even placed a graphic of the superstar on the packet. Check out the Mashup for the photo of the confiscated drugs. And while you're at it, know that somewhere a blogger is drafting a misguided column parelling this incident with James' career arc.
