Don't freak out on me, sports fans — I know the chances of Lebron James coming to the Houston Rockets are miniscule, at best.
But now that Chris Rock has put a number on getting King James to New York (the max plus $10 bucks, he tells USA Today's Game on!), I think Houston needs to step up and present a counter offer.
I've been wracking my brain for which Houston celeb would be most up for the challenge, and I'm settled on Joel Osteen. The man's got charm, charisma and, if all else fails, God on his side.
Maybe Osteen can join the fan caravan that'll be trailing Rockets general manager Daryl Morey during the free-agent signing period? If Lakewood's got a church bus to loan, we're willing to bet it's a swanky one.
