LeBron and Chris Paul vs. College Basketball Campers

People who rely on CBSsports.com for college basketball information (this blogger included) are always treated to a sweet article by Gary Parrish, who seems to be everywhere at once, including his laptop. Today there’s a cool read at the college basketball page about a pickup game that LeBron James and Chris Paul played against some attendees at a college basketball camp in Akron. LeBron and Paul showed up to help out at LeBron’s Skills Academy, where some of the best college basketball players are honing their game over the summer at the University of Akron.

Some random students who showed up were treated to pickup games between the team with James and Paul going up against college players like Patrick Christopher (Cal), Patrick Beverley (Arkansas), Jonny Flynn (Syracuse), Terrence Williams (Louisville) and Jarvis Varnado (Mississippi State). Apparently James and Paul lost three times out of seven games. Parrish made sure to remark that the U.S. Olympic team, which will include these two players, will have it’s work cut out for them if they intend to do as well against the rest of the world in China in a couple of months.
