Remember those old Gatorade commercials with Michael Jordan and the song “Wanna be, wanna be like Mike.” First of all, great commercials. Second, I think the new slogan should be “Wanna be, wanna be like Bryce” or ““Wanna be, wanna be like Sam,” or “Wanna be, wanna be like Ella.” I think I could be happy being anyone of those three newborns, or at least their best friend.
LeBron James, Tiger Woods and Jeff Gordon all welcomed children into the world last week. For LeBron it was his second, Woods and Gordon are first time fathers. LeBron and Gordon are worth an estimated $200 million while Woods sits at $252 million. I think these kids are going to have a pretty decent life a head of them.
I mean how cool would it be to be one of these kids? You’re life is set before you learn to walk. Hell, before you can even open your eyes. All come from athletic, good looking, self driven, motivated respected parents. The dads are on top of their respected athletic fields and the moms are knockouts. Well, Lebron’s isn’t quite supermodel status but still a very attractive female.



Some lucky babies came from these couples.
Bryce Maximus James will have a little bit of a chip on his should, however. He is LeBron’s second son and will be known as LeBron’s son who isn’t named LeBron. I don’t think he’ll have to worry about any limited athletic ability. He’ll even have LeBron, Jr. to push him hard and further than his brother and father have gone. I can only hope LeBron, Sr. plays in the NBA long enough to play with LeBron, Jr. and possibly Bryce. Let’s see, LeBron is 22 now, LeBron Jr. is 2, Bryce a week. You have to be one year out of high school to play in the NBA so that means most people would be 19 when entering the draft. So in 17 years, when LeBron Jr. is eligible for the draft, his dad will be 39. Two more years until Bryce is eligible makes him 41. Kind of a stretch but possible. Although, LeBron will probably be bored with the NBA by then and on to some other business but let’s hope he pulls a Robert Parish and sticks around. Then again, LeBron’s sons might not even go to the NBA. They might be in the NFL. After all, LeBron was All-Ohio as a sophomore wide receiver. Or maybe they’ll be great golfers, or soccer players, or tennis players, or bowlers, or darters, or swimmers, or beach volleyball players. The possibilities are endless because they are LeBron James’s kids.
The only people luckier than Sam Alexis Woods are any boy born within the past year or will be born in the next year. You’re telling me Sam isn’t going to be one of the greatest females ever to grace the earth. She’ll have athletic talent like a pizza has calories, she’ll have the coolest set of parents, she’ll be loaded and you know she’ll be knockout. The daughter of a Swedish supermodel and a man with the chiseled good looks of Tiger, she her path is already paved. She’ll make Maria Sharapova and Amanda Beard look like a pile of puke. And with the work ethic and respect Tiger has, it’s safe to say she won’t follow the lifestyle of Paris, Brittany or Lindsay.
Same can be said about Ella Sofia Gordon. Since I’m not a big NASCAR guy, I know nothing about Gordon but, oh my, is he dreamy. And that wife of his, damn! Jeff Gordon and Ingrid Vandebosch were meant to make babies together.
I wonder if any of those couples is looking for an agent/publicist/manager/assistant/drug-dealer-keeper-a-wayer. Or at least someone who can ride their coat tail.
Just for the fun of, I can’t resist and I know you want to see it, two more pictures of Elin and Ingrid.


You’re Welcome.

Love the analogy between pizza and athletic ability. That would be awsome if Lebron Jr. became a world class darter.
