NBA

The King of Cleveland has come down with the flu and doctor's are treating him as if he has the swine fl... I mean H1N1 virus.

LeBron James, Coby Karl, and Darnell Jackson have tested positive for Influenza A and are being treated as if they have the H1N1 virus. All three players missed yesterday's pre-season home game that saw the Wizards defeat the Cavs 109-104.

"If it's going to happen, now is the best time," James said. "I don't wish anyone to be sick. I wish great health for everyone. But if this is the time the flu bug is going to hit our team, I'm glad it's happening now."

James believes that his illness is in response to a flu shot that he recently received.

With less than two weeks to go until the start of the NBA season Cavalier fans should sleep comfortably--LBJ is on the mend. All the King needed was two days of rest and he's feeling better already.

"I think I'm over it now," James told reporters.

The question now is, what will the Cavaliers do without the services of Coby Karl?
