    I can't believe LeBron actually showed up for this thing. Was he at Nike for a commercial or something? Was this whole thing some sort of prank for a commercial.

    The rain did not deter more than a dozen Trail Blazers fans from gathering outside the Rose Garden on Sunday evening in hopes of luring LeBron James to Portland.

    The fans stood on the sidewalk, waved at cars driving by and bellowed raucous chants of "We want the king" and "Bring LeBron to Portland."

    "I just got a text from LeBron," recent Oregon graduate Tim Dundon joked. "He said he'd try to make it out here. I mean he made it to the Akron one yesterday."

    James, a two-time NBA most valuable player and the league's most sought after summer free-agent made a surprise appearance at a rally in Akron, Ohio, on Saturday that drew an estimated crowd of 4,000.

    While Portland hasn't been high on the list of potential suitors for James, Dundon said the Trail Blazers would be a perfect fit for the "King."

    "You bring LeBron here and we become an immediate title contender," he said.

    The group mainly consisted of college-aged fans but that didn't stop season ticket holder Dave Vecsi, 47, from attending the rally.

    "We have Brandon Roy and he's a great player," Vecsi said. "But LeBron is a superstar."

    Event organizer David Chitsazan said he was slightly disappointed with the turnout.

    "It's a little bit lower than expected," Chitsazan said. "We scheduled it long enough in advance that we didn't realize it was Father's Day."

    When isn't there a gay pride parade in Portland? It's kind of hard to schedule around them, when they are always happening!

    If that doesn't convince Lebron to come to Portland, nothing will.

    I'm surprised you actually had the nerve to get in the picture, Sly.

    Not embarrassing. Amusing. Quirky. Silly. Ineffective.

    That was John Canzano. He already admitted as such.

    Nah, he and the Barbra Streisand impersonator from the Gay Pride Parade went off to bump uglies in the back of a minivan.
