INDEPENDENCE, Ohio – For a family man like LeBron James, the Cavaliers' holiday schedule stinks.
They play the New York Knicks tonight, and, you may have heard, the Golden State Warriors in Oakland on Christmas. There are road games in Portland, Phoenix, and Denver immediately following.
So there's no present opening for James with his wife and three children on Christmas morning, nor is there anything special like, say, today before the Knicks game or the morning of Christmas Eve before the Cavs' team flight out West.
"They're not even here right now," James said of his wife, Savannah, sons LeBron Jr.
