NBA Stars: LeBron James — The Heatles

In the second NBA game I covered, James and the back-to-back champion Miami Heat faced the Raptors.

Barely two weeks into my first paid journalism job, I sat across from the IPC president for an interview.

If any optimism lingered around the 2013 Blue Jays at midseason, the Canada Day series squashed it.

I learned to appreciate the benefits of the setting and the opportunity at hand over two summers covering the Canadians.

My motivation to write was simple: I wanted to go to sporting events.
