Hurricanes get a surprise visit from LeBron
CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) -LeBron James has introduced himself to the Miami Hurricanes.
James and a slew of other Miami Heat players stopped by the Hurricanes' campus Thursday afternoon for some informal scrimmaging with the Atlantic Coast Conference team. Players hadn't been told beforehand that the NBA's two-time reigning MVP would be popping in for a workout.
Udonis Haslem, Mike Miller, Patrick Beverley and New Orleans guard Chris Paul - a close friend of James - played pickup games with the Hurricanes, then posed for pictures afterward, as did Heat guard Mario Chalmers.
