Hughes Still Not Ready To Return

Nov 30, 2006 11:26 AM EST

Larry Hughes has already missed seven games with a high ankle sprain and said he's still not ready to return to practice.

''Every day I'm feeling better and better,'' Hughes said before the New York game. ''I'm just trying to stay on the right path. I don't expect to be out much longer.

''At this point, I'm not comfortable to run full speed,'' Hughes said. ''My game is (predicated) on quickness. This year I've been guarding point guards. I'd put myself at a disadvantage if I don't have my quickness.''

LeBron No Fan Of Chicago's Headband Rule

Nov 28, 2006 8:08 PM EST

LeBron James doesn't understand why the Bulls are making such a big fuss about a headband.

"I know Ben Wallace has been wearing a headband for long time. I have worn a headband for a long time, probably from when I was 13 years old until now," James said.

"It is a routine. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't wear one. If it is something you have been doing your whole life -- it doesn't matter what field you're in, athletics or the business side -- if someone comes and tells you to switch your routine up, it is going to mess up your work.

"I'd be upset if they had some rule about it here. I don't know why it is such a problem," James said. "It's not disrespecting anybody, it's not thinking you're bigger than anyone on the team. Hey, certain people must have their own rules."

Buffett Puts Big Money On Nike

Nov 23, 2006 11:29 PM EST

LeBron James met with billionaire Warren Buffett this summer in Nebraska.

Last week, Buffett's firm, Berkshire Hathaway, announced in an SEC filing that it had recently purchased 1.5 million shares of Nike stock, which increased the value of the comany's stock.

``Nah, I didn't tell him to do that,'' said James, Nike's $90 million man. ``But it was a good idea.''

``I just really admire him a lot, everything he's made for himself,'' said James. ``One of the things he told me was that even when he's sleeping, he's making money.''
