OK, this week Lebron James has made it crystal clear that he is no longer going to answer questions about his impending free agency in the huge NBA summer 2010 Lebron sweepstakes.A But, after watching him dominate the Orlando Magic and put on an absolute show against the Miami Heat , I could not help, but imagine LBJ in an Atlanta Hawks' uniform ...
