Theodore, Nation's Best Learn from LeBron James

Theodore_lebron_photo_1_2Jordan Theodore approached his camp counselor in a crowded gym Saturday afternoon and asked, “What’s up, LeBron?"

Theodore is among the 70 top high school basketball players in the nation in attendance at the LeBron James US Skills Academy at the University of Akron. James, the Cleveland Cavaliers star who grew up in this inner city environment, has made himself available to the players -- even taking the court to compete with 20 college players here -- and Theodore is making the most of it.

"I asked him the same thing I asked Steve Nash, how to become a better leader. I'm going to ask him a lot more questions. I'm going to get to know him better. I hope he gets to know me.
