World Wide Wes

At this point, when World Wide Wes talks, people listen. Previously, that was the case in college basketball, where he has spent about a decade funneling the best players to John Calipari at Memphis and now Kentucky. But if World Wide Wes can funnel Lebron James somewhere? In a package with Calipari? Well, king maker indeed.

According to the Chicago Tribune, supposedly WW Wes is indeed peddling a Lebron James/John Calipari package to teams. Because Wes is tight with James. And, of course, with Calipari. And Calipari is friends, apparently, with James. And so on. And so forth. Apparently.

And, if so, I am guessing there is almost no coach who is safe outside of Phil Jackson. Unless it is John Calipari. Who remains, as ever, at least two full steps ahead of the curve.

And if you are a Kentucky fan? It is a nauseating ride. Close your eyes and hope it ends soon.
