LeBron James Starts Offseason with Surgery

]]> A few days after his Cleveland Cavaliers were ousted by the Orlando Magic, LeBron James went under the knife. The Cavs released a statement saying that James had a benign growth removed from his mouth. The surgery reportedly took five hours and involved the parotid gland.

Apparently, James and his close friends and family knew that he’d require offseason surgery at the end of his playoff run. The good news is that no further surgery is planned.

The self described Chosen 1 had a season filled with many highs. He had a tremendous regular season and earned his first Most Valuable Players award. In the postseason, he put up breathtaking stats — 35.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game.

At 24, James has plenty of time to win at least one NBA championship. It just won’t be the 2009 version.
