Last Sunday evening, after a nice salmon dinner in my Boston hotel, I turned on the Cleveland –Denver NBA basketball game. Three superstars LaBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson – what a trio to watch!

I tuned in to the ESPN broadcast in the middle of an interview with Warren Buffett and Jim Grey. I don’t think of Warren Buffett as an NBA fan – but there he was at a game in Cleveland. Why would Warren travel to Cleveland for an NBA game? It turns out Warren was a guest of LaBron James.

Now what’s the connection with the world’s second richest person and a 22-year old NBA superstar? According to Buffett, LaBron called Warren for investment advice. Wow - a 22-year old calling the most successful stock investor of all time! How impressive!

LaBron James – you’re awesome baby! (a borrowed cliché from Dick Vitale).

Oh by the way, Gillian knows me better than I expected – I called her up in the middle of the interview and said, “You’re not going to believe who is LeBron James’ investment advisor.” She immediately replied, “Warren Buffett.” How did she know? She simply knows that Warren Buffett is my hero. And now, so is LeBron James.
