A text exchange on the Lakers season, the frescoes of Pompeii, Denzel Washington, being humbled, whether it's possible to cover LeBron James in a novel way, while Dan Woike goes to vote.
I really like the analogies you made, Katie. Your posts have gotten me more intrigued by Greek Mythology and the caveman drawing analogy is spot on.
Dan makes some great points about LeBron. I have wondered what keeps him motivated, what keeps him playing. And yeah, I too doubt there would be new ground to cover about him... I like how Dan has gotten to know him on a more personal level and spoken with him about parenthood and golf. I've always enjoyed articles where we get to learn more about someone on a more personal level (it feels more engaging in a way rather than just one dimension of them).
Great points about the dynamic between LeBron and Luka.
Also, "(I think people will stop liking him because he’s smart, but that’s a depressing tangent)". Yeah, I sadly can see this happening as well. Personally I like him because he's smart. I already was excited from hearing the pre-draft hype about him. However, when I found out that he loves reading, that made me like him even more :).
(I also like that he's a geek, but I'm biased as I'm also a geek and I love reading also).
Very cool conversation. Have a nice rest of the week :).
This was really fun to read!

I like this format! And also that you included the little asides/tangents/mention of going to vote.
Dan, you'll have to excuse Katie. The town's back THAT way!
