From the Associated Press to SI.com to Sparty & Friends to you:
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Cavaliers say LeBron James has had a benign growth removed from his jaw at the Cleveland Clinic. The growth was discovered just after the Orlando Magic had sealed the Eastern Conference championship and LeGlobal decided that sportsmanship was beneath his iconic status.
The team says the surgery took five hours on Tuesday - one hour to determine that it was in fact James’ foot and four hours to actually remove it since it was a size 18 - and James has been aware of the medical issue for several months, but opted to postpone the surgery until the NBA season was over.
James is recovering at the Cleveland Clinic and will soon be returning home to his family.
The team says doctors believe James will make a complete recovery and will not require any further treatment.

Simmons fires shot at Orlando.
By the way, how dare a Magic fan give me crap? You root for the Orlando Magic! Were you even a fan three months ago? Back in late November, Nick Friedell wrote on Yahoo!: “I’ve covered several games in Orlando during the early part of the season, and there are always plenty of good seats to be had. What surprises me more than anything, though, is the general lack of enthusiasm from some of the crowds. For the most part, the crowds I’ve seen at Magic games are flatter than a pancake. Sure, there are some exciting moments, and, if asked, the fans are usually willing to get out of their seats and cheer. But, if it wasn’t for the noise blaring from the speaker system, you would be able to hear Stan Van Gundy barking out orders on almost every possession.” The 2009 Orlando Magic: Our crowds are flatter than a pancake. Should Disney World premiere its Orlando Magic Bandwagon Ride during the Finals or just wait until this summer?
