An important aspect of Monroe’s visit to New York, is to go to numerous restaurants in NY to test taste the diabetic cuisine, that each restaurant serves. The retired NBA star player was asked which NBA team is he supporting for the playoffs this season. His immediate response was….“LA all the way!”

Lebron James has gotten sick and tired of being asked about his future with the Cleveland Cavaliers. In a recent interview….he verbally stressed how sick and tired he’s become with all of the third-degree interrogation by speaking these choice words…”This is the last time, that I will answer any questions about my future!”
James’ frustations were not a reflection of his playing ability. He scored 36 points and made 8 rebounds. M. Williams was scoring points nearly as quickly as James was. Williams scored 28 points and completed 6 assists. The Cavaliers swooped past the Magic with a final score of 102-93.
