Jawad WilliamsSpotlight on Jawad Williams: “Sometimes you’re misunderstood as arrogant when you’re really just quiet. Sometimes you’re seen as an undersized power forward when you’re just really a small forward trapped in a 6-foot-9 body. And sometimes you have to travel all the way around the world over the course of four years before you can come back to your hometown, play for the team you dreamt of starring for, alongside the good friend called the best anywhere, and then go home to your family and the gym where you first learned to love the game.

LeBron James Takes Over France (Video)

What do you get when you combine LeBron James with Mickael Pietrus, Tony Parker, Drake, Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Eminem and a ton of French NBA fans?  Well, as long as you have a high definition recording device and excellent editing abilities, you get a pretty sweet video.

After the jump, check out James’ tour stop in Paris complete with on- and off-court action all mixed to the lead track from the MTAG Soundtrack (“Forever”).  Also make sure to check out Pietrus’ t-shirt, which would have been that much better had the Cavs topped the Magic last spring.  Even if you’re not a fan of hip-hop, the video is great – especially the clip at the very end.  A few rounds of Great Lakes to Skeets for the find.
