Cleveland Ups Lebron Ante: Iron Chef Will Cook For Him


Previously on That NBA Lottery Pick, we have chronicled NBA cities doing their best to court free agency superstar Lebron James.

Some have done it through song, some have promised riches beyond belief, and some have promised strippers. Well, the Cleveland faithful now can add food to their list in ways of courting Lebron James.

We get more from the Associated Press:

One of the Cavaliers' most famous fans is hoping the way to LeBron James' heart is through his stomach.

Cleveland native Michael Symon, one of Food Network's Iron Chefs, has offered to go to James' house once a month and cook a meal for the MVP's family and friends if he re-signs as a free agent with the Cavaliers. Symon posted a letter to James on his Facebook page.

Symon thanked James for all he has done for the city and urged him to follow his heart when making his decision. Symon also pointed out that some legendary athletes — Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Jim Brown, Bill Russell and Michael Jordan — created their legacies primarily with one team.
Man, this Lebron James sweepstakes is getting a little out of hand at the moment and I doubt there is anything material that anyone can offer Lebron to sway his decision.

I'm still waiting for New York to offer up Masaharu Morimoto.
