Looks like Lebron might become another two-sport star. Not only does the Cleveland Cavs phenom play ball, he also is a speed demon. According to Google News:

NBA superstar LeBron James downplayed his most recent brush with thelaw after being ticketed for going 163 kilometres per hour (101 mph) onthe highway in his white Mercedes.

"It's no big deal," James told the newspaper. "I was on my way home to go to sleep. You have to abide by the rules. I made a mistake."

Ohio state police stopped James' car at 2:43 am local time on his 23rd birthday. The car carries vanity license plates which read "KING OF AK".

We all knew Lebron was fast up the court, but now we know he's fast on the roadways as well. Read the full article on Lebron here.
