This video made the rounds a while back, but LeBron 2010 (a site dedicated to letting James know he is wanted here in Cleveland) reminded me of it and thought it was time to dust it off.
The video is a segment from Jim Rome is Burning, in which Delonte is a field reporter for the day. It’s a gameday and there is a major problem- JJ Hickson didn’t get the doughnuts. It’s Delont West, so it’s funny by default.
There’s more. They have made t-shirts. And they are nothing short of awesome.
It raises a question- who would the vets haze if Danny Green doesn’t make the squad? Certainly Eyenga isn’t going to make it on this year’s squad.

Hopefully, someday when Austin retires, Delonte will get his job as the color commentator for Cavs games.
Those t-shirts are great and I want one. I just wish they included the phrase “planes, trains, and automobiles” on them….
Wow, the playoff loss ache is gone. Just watched that with no symptoms. Ready for the Cavs, again. Let’s pretend we can just Tivo the rest of the Indians season and settle in for the Cavs opener tonight.
Completely agree jto… That was the best part.
He doesn’t even get it right. He said trains, planes and automobiles. Funny every time I watch it. And I would pay top dollar for one of those t-shirts.
JJ said something about having two hours and a drive to Cincinnati. If has to drive himself all around Ohio, that might explain his back problem. And if he can make it from Cleveland to Cincinnati in two hours, he obviously doesn’t need a plane, train or automobile.
Surely some sort of agreement can be made with the LeBron2010 guys to get those shirts on the WFNY Swag Store.
How playa are those shirts? When is STO going to give Delonte his own show? Seriously, I would watch that over Josh’s Cribbs or fishing with Joe Thomas in a heartbeat.
The back of the shirt should say ‘Trains, plains, and automobiles. Betta have my DOUGHNUTS!’
Waiting for Next Year…I don’t care if you gotta fly!
