Latta, Heels have blessing of 'King James'

Posted Mar 26, 2006

It's safe to say the Cleveland Cavaliers and their star, Lebron James, were on the minds of the Tar Heels before their third-round game in the NCAA Tournament against Purdue today. Ivory Latta screamed out "King James! King James!" when she walked through the bowels of the arena. But before Latta paraded around his palace, James had paid homage to the Tar Heel point guard in Saturday's editions of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. (Durham Herald-Sun)
