Rick Perry Indicted For Abuse of Power Dallas ISD Trustee Joyce Foreman will highlight District 6 Each Month Gov. Rick Perry AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - A grand jury indicted Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Friday for allegedly abusing the powers of his office by carrying out a threat to veto funding for state prosecutors investigating public corruption - making the possible 2016 presidential hopeful his state's first indicted governor in nearly a century. A special prosecutor spent months calling witnesses and presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he promised publicly to nix $7.5 million over two years for the public integrity unit run by the office of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. Lehmberg, a Democrat, was convicted of drunken driving, but refused Perry's calls to resign. Though the Republican governor now faces two felony indictments, politics dominates the case. Lehmberg is based in Austin, which is heavily Democratic, in contrast to most of the rest of fiercely conservative Texas. The grand jury was comprised of Austin-area residents. Gov. Perry is charged with the following Count I. Abuse of Official Capacity, a first degree felony Count II. Coercion of Public Servant, a third degree felony Thousands Mourn Michael Brown Thousands mourn Michael Brown, mourners filled an enormous church to remember Michael Brown - a "gentle giant," aspiring rapper and recent high school graduate on his way to a technical college. But the funeral that unfolded Monday was about much more than the 18-year-old who lay in the closed casket after being shot to death by a white police officer. The emotional service sought to consecrate Brown's death as another in the long history of the civil rights movement and implored black Americans to change their protest chants into legislation and law. The trial for Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and other associates has been delayed to Jan. 2016 The trial for Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and other associates has been delayed to Jan. 2016. It's the second delay for the trial in as many days. Monday's delay pushed the trial from Sept. 2014 to Sept. 2015. Attorneys for Price and other defendants requested a delay, which was granted by the court. First Day of School Brings New Opportunities As Superintendent Mike Miles entered Thomas L. Marsalis Elementary School the morning of Aug. 25, the scene was similar to that taking place at 223 other schools on the first day of classes in the Dallas Independent School District. As the clock reached 7:50 a.m., a steady stream of smiling children and focused family members entered the building and headed to their appointed classrooms or other locations. Outside, a handful of the more than 793 school buses in use across the district safely delivered smiling boys and girls to the southern Dallas school. Miles and Deputy Superintendent Ann Smisko chose Marsalis for the superintendent's first visit to highlight its participation in the Imagine 2020 initiative. Once on site, Miles interacted with media but came away impressed with the organization and positive energy of Principal Kimberly Richardson and the Mustang team. "Every first day of school is a fresh canvas that is full of possibilities, and Marsalis is a great example of that," Miles said. "For our school district, a new school year is an opportunity to build upon the achievements of our students, staff and Destination 2020. We're excited, hopeful and ready to push the bar even higher in 2014-2015." The morning featured only minor or localized challenges across Dallas ISD, with students arriving at school on time, breakfast and lunch being served as scheduled, and no major air conditioning challenges. By mid-day, the district was roaring like a well-tuned engine. The opening of schools this year includes several major steps for Dallas ISD: •The introduction of the South Oak Cliff feeder pattern into the expanding Imagine 2020 initiative. The 12 schools in that pattern, including Marsalis, will redouble their efforts to increase student achievement using innovative instruction, more professional development and community support. •The addition of 50 multi-passenger vehicles (MPVs) into the bus fleet. Dallas ISD, in conjunction with the Dallas County Schools, will operate the 9-passenger vehicles that are similar to mini-buses. Nearly 3,000 homeless students, deaf/special education students and students who attend magnet or choice schools will ride the buses. •For the second consecutive year, will provide school meals at no charge to all students in the district. Dallas ISD is one of the largest school district in Texas to provide this opportunity to students, available with funding provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). Joyce Foreman was elected to the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees, representing District 6, in June of 2014. Throughout the upcoming school year, our readers will have the opportunity to hear from her each month through her column as she shares news about Dallas ISD and the schools in the district she represents. District 6 covers southwest Dallas. As a business owner and community leader, Foreman will use her experience in education and the community to shape Dallas ISD in District 6 and throughout the district, where her efforts will directly impact students, teachers and staff. Foreman brings experience from a variety of education-related affiliations to the board. Most notably, she has served on the Dallas ISD Bond Advisory Committee since 2002. Passionate about preparing our students to be the best and brightest, Foreman has held other leadership positions in the district as a member of the Superintendent's Advisory Committee and the Commission on Educational Excellence. Providing decades of civic involvement to Dallas citizens Foreman has previously served on the Greater Dallas Chamber Executive Committee, as Vice Chair of Dallas Area Rapid Transit Board, Chase Bank of Texas Board and El Centro College Office Career Advisory Committee. In 1981, after leading a successful career as a corporate buyer, Foreman decided to start and own a local company. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to form Foreman Office Products, a business venture that lasted 30 years until her retirement in 2011. The 2014 "Natural Hair Parade and Festival" September 6 The Isis Project, a nonprofit organization, invites you to the 4th Annual Naturally Isis Natural Hair Parade and Festival happening in Dallas, TX on September 6, 2014. The parade and festival founded by Isis Brantley was created to celebrate, promote and cultivate the love and acceptance for natural hair beauty standards. This year our goal is to highlight awareness of the diseases that plague our communities such as LUPUS, ALPOECIA, SICKEL CELL ANEMIA, and AIDS. The Parade and Festival is hosted by Sam Putney and Dj Frances Jay, featuring Dallas' own Grand Marshall Erykah Badu in Sunny South Dallas. Parade begins at 10 am starting at Gould and MLK ending at the Blues Palace. Our featured float will host the NATURAL HAIR BABIES. The Natural Hair Festival begins at 7pm at Pan African Connection and is totally free to the public. There will be live entertainment, workshops, children activities, speakers, poets, and a host of food and product vendors. In addition, Irma P. Hall will present the "The Irma P. Hall Living Legend Award" to legendary Jazz pianist, Roger Boykin. The "Swagg Award" will be given to Benita Arterberry, an internationally renowned gospel vocalist. McFarland Named Superintendent of the Year Finalist LANCASTER-And then there were five...Lancaster Independent School District Superintendent and Regional Superintendent of the Year Dr. Michael McFarland has made it to the next round of selection for the statewide honor. Five public school administrators from across Texas were selected as state finalists for the annual Superintendent of the Year (SOTY) award sponsored by the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB). Since 1984, the SOTY program has recognized exemplary superintendents for excellence and achievement in educational leadership. The 2014 finalists and nominating education service centers (ESCs) are A. Marcus Nelson, Laredo ISD, ESC 1; Jon Wunderlich, Weimar ISD, ESC 3; Danny Taylor, Burkburnett ISD, ESC 9; Michael McFarland, Lancaster ISD, ESC 10; and Mark Eads, San Marcos CISD, ESC 13. The state selection committee, which interviewed regional winners August 22-23 in Austin, targeted such issues as the long-term success of public education, implementation of House Bill (HB) 5 and recommendations for the next legislative session, staff morale and maintenance of district health, program and student success, and the superintendent's role as a leader for students, staff, and community. At the helm of Lancaster ISD for four years, McFarland has a total of 16 years in education administration and serves more than 6,300 students. McFarland believes that students have changed, and we must be willing to change the education system for these different types of learners. His philosophy of listen, learn, and lead was cited, and the committee also noted that McFarland interviewed every senior to ensure each student had a "flight" plan after graduation. He earned a bachelor's degree at Baylor University, master's degree at Stephen F. Austin State University, and doctorate at Baylor University. Candidates are chosen for their strong leadership skills, dedication to improving educational quality, ability to build effective employee relations, student performance, and commitment to public involvement in education. Superintendents from any of Texas' 1,030 local school districts are eligible for nomination by their school boards. Local nominees are submitted to a regional selection committee, which chooses one nominee to send to the state selection committee. The 2014 Superintendent of the Year will be announced September 26 at the TASA/TASB Convention in Dallas. The winning superintendent will receive an award from Balfour, program underwriter. Dallas: Too Busy Growing To Hate! August 28 - September 3, 2014 The Dallas Post Tribune EDITORIAL PAGE D EA R E D I T O R : Dear Editor, Warmer temperatures are a welcome change after a long, cold winter—but as the mercury rises, it’s crucial to protect our animal companions by never leaving them in parked vehi- cles. Every year, PETA receives dozens of reports of animals suffering and dying in hot, parked cars. Cruelty-toanimals charges are routinely filed in such cases. It only takes minutes for a parked car to cook an animal alive: On a warm day, even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a parked car can reach more than 160 degrees. Parking in the shade and/or leaving water in the vehicle won’t help. Symptoms of heatstroke include restlessness, excessive thirst, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite and coordination, dark tongue, and vomiting. Dogs can succumb to heatstroke in just 15 minutes, resulting in brain damage or death. Please, when it’s even a little warm outside, never leave any living being in a parked car, even for “just a minute.” If you see a dog left in a car, have the owner paged or call 911 immediately— the dog’s life depends on it. Visit www.PETA.org to learn more. Sincerely, Martin Mersereau, Director Emergency Response Team Cruelty Investigations Department People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Leadership Should Reflect the Racial Composition of Our Communities BY CONGRESSWOMAN EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON The shooting of a young African American teenager, Michael Brown, by a white Ferguson, Missouri law enforcement officer has pushed that St. Louis suburban area to the boiling point. It also contains many lessons for the rest of the country, and an opportunity for change. In the nights that followed the shooting, groups of protesters displayed their frustration and anger. They were confronted by local police officers who were armed as if they were about to do battle with foreign terrorists, not American citizens engaged in peaceful protests. The problems in Ferguson, however, are deeper than the tragic shooting of young Michael Brown. They reflect patterns of racial injustice and political imbalance in a city in which members of its elected government, and citizens concerned with justice and prudence must work hard to correct. In the city of Ferguson, 67 percent of the residents are African American. Yet, the city’s police force is 95 percent white. Five of the six members of the City Council are white. In 2013, 92 percent of all police searches of individuals in Ferguson, 86 percent of all stops made by the police and 93 percent of all arrests were of African Americans, according to official reports. These disparities, no doubt, led to the unrest that occurred in Ferguson. The leadership of the city must do more to recruit minority candidates to become members of the police force. At the same time, members of the minority community must do all that they can to identify and support candidates for elected office. The leadership of Ferguson must insist upon the implementation of Community Policing, a policy developed in Texas in which police and citizens work together to protect communities from crime and violence. Under the system of Community Policing, members of the police force are not viewed as enemies. Rather, they are perceived as protectors of citizens, and their property. A partnership is formed with residents and business owners interacting closely with law enforcement officials. Perhaps if Community Policy were in effect in Ferguson, the officer accused of killing Michael Brown would called him over to his police car so that the two of them could talk, rather than engage in a confrontation, as some witnesses to the incident have alleged. We must never again witness the types of military hardware displayed on the streets of Ferguson, with swat team snipers poised to shoot at protesters. This is not the American way. We must also understand that the conditions that precipitated events in Ferguson exist in other cities throughout our country. And we must take steps to rectify those conditions before we witness a repeat of what most Americans found revolting in a city located in the heartland of our democracy. REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH, PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH The first question uttered in the bible came from God. It was a question directed to the capstone of His creation - man. This question was uttered by God after man had sinned in disobeying God's only restriction placed upon man's liberty. God had blessed Adam and placed him in God had with them had been marred. Sin will always mar out fellowship with God and when Adam and Eve heard the voice of God walking in the garden, they became afraid, trying to hide themselves from the presence of God. God then raised a question to Adam: "Where Art Thou?" The question raised by God to Adam suggests two amazing facts. First, the question indicates that it was Adam who was lost, and not God. God, in His amazing love, came looking for the capstone of His creation. Secondly, the question suggest that man has worth. Man had so much value until it required Heaven's best to redeem him from the plight that he was in. Yes, my friend, if you are unsaved, God has sent His only begotten Son to die for you. Do you believe that? If so, turn to God, believing that Jesus Christ has died for your sin, and you can be saved. Because of our forefather's sin (Adam), every man born into this world is a sinner and needs a Savior. Why don't you trust Jesus Christ to be your Savior, if you are unsaved? Remember, God provided the only substitute for the tragic spiritual condition of man, and that was the death of His Son. If you are unsaved, Jesus Christ has paid the full price of your redemption, and all He requires you to do is accept Him and be saved. Yes, you are valuable to God and it is His desire that you be saved. What a marvelous act of love by God in the utterance of the question to Adam, "Where Art Thou?" Dallas ISD receives certificate of excellence for financial reporting The Dallas Independent School District has received a top award for its financial reporting for the 2013 fiscal year, earning the Certificate of Excellence from the Association of School Business Officials International. The award, the only of its type specifically designed for school district financial reporting, is based on Dallas ISD’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or CAFR, for that year. The CAFR is important because it provides a clear analysis of how well the district handles, controls and protects its financial resources. “Dallas ISD is pleased to receive this honor because it is the result of the hard work and emphasis we place on protect- ing resources provided by our community,” said Mike Miles, Dallas ISD superintendent. “As part of Destination 2020, we are working to strengthen our systems and increase transparency, and this award proves it.” To receive the award, a school district must satisfy specific guidelines for effective, high-quality financial reporting recognized by school business officials. The honor comes just weeks after Moody’s Investors Service has assigned Dallas ISD a bond rating of Aa1 for the second year in a row. Since 2012, Dallas ISD has not received a rating lower than an Aa2. Differences in Black and White BY GEORGE E. CURRY NNPA COLUMNIST Public opinion polls confirm a fact that has been documented in instances ranging from the O.J. Simpson verdict to recent events in Ferguson: When it comes to race, Blacks and Whites largely view events through a different set of lenses. Several recent polls provided yet more proof of this disheartening trend. According to a recent New York Times/CBS News poll, more than half of Black Americans polled - 57 percent said the killing of the unarmed, 18-year-old Michael Brown by Ferguson, Mo. Police Officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9 was "not justified." Among Whites, 25 percent said the shooting death was unjustified. In addition, 31 percent of White Americans, and 71 percent of Blacks, said they think police are generally more likely to use deadly force against a person of color than a White person. The performance of Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, also received mixed reviews, so to speak. He mobilized the Missouri State Highway Patrol and then activated the Missouri National Guard after declaring a state of emergency and imposing a curfew. Blacks were twice as likely as Whites to say involving the National Guard only made matters worse. Only a quarter of Blacks nationally are satisfied with Gov. Nixon's actions, while nearly half said Nixon's performance in the aftermath of the shooting was unsatisfactory. In contrast, Whites were divided: A third were satisfied and a third dissatisfied Not surprisingly, Blacks, Obama's most loyal bloc, continue to back him by large margins. Sixty percent of African Americans said they were satisfied with the president's actions; 20 percent said they were dissatisfied. Whites were split, with 35 percent in support of President Obama and 39 percent dissatisfied. The New York Times poll showed that 10 percent of those surveyed thought race relations have improved since Obama has been in office, 52 percent felt they are about the same as before and 35 percent said race relations have gotten worse under Obama. Of those saying things had gotten worse, 40 percent were White and 21 percent were African American. There are many independ- ent markers that indicate, in general, that race relations have improved over the last half century, including attitudes toward interracial marriages. Amid such progress, however, there is undeniable evidence that Blacks and Whites look at racially-tinged events from a different perspective. A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found that 80 percent of African Americans say the shooting in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson raises important issues about race that merit discussion. By contrast, only 37 percent of Whites - less than half the ratio of Blacks - feel that way. In addition, among Whites, 47 percent feel race is getting more attention than it deserves in the Michael Brown case. But only 18 percent of Blacks share that view. According to the poll, 65 percent of Blacks feel police have gone too far in reacting to Michael Brown's death and 20 percent feel the response was about right. Again, Whites had a different reaction, with 33 percent saying police had gone too far and a roughly equal proportion, 32 percent saying authorities had acted properly. More than half of all African Americans - 54 percent reported they were following events in Ferguson very closely. Less than half of Whites -25 percent - and Latinos - 18 percent - said they were closely following the events in Missouri. There was a political divide as well, with 68 percent of Democrats feeling the Michael Brown case raises important issues while only 22 percent of Republicans contending it raises racial issues that need to be discussed. Also, 61 percent of Republicans say the issue of race has gotten too much attention in the case; only 21 percent of Democrats support that view. The 1996 murder trial of O.J. Simpson exposed this raw divide. A CNN/USA Today Poll showed that 62 percent of African-Americans supported the jury's decision to acquit the former football star. However, only 20 percent of Whites agreed with the jury. There was a similar split in polls taken during Hank Aaron's campaign to break Babe Ruth's all-time home run record and Barry Bond overtaking Aaron. Even on a supposedly raceneutral issue such as federal aid to victims of Hurricane Katrina, racial views were split. According to a CNN/USA Today poll, six in 10 African Americans said the federal government was slow to rescue residents of New Orleans because many of them were Black. However, only one in eight Whites concurred. How can we narrow the racial divide when we can't even agree if there is one? A Little Bit of Faith: There is Hope ---BY COLLEEN WHITE When life is hard, you need to seek out God and find rest in Him. In the book of Psalm it says, "But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds." (Psalm 73:28) God is near even when you think He is far away. He is waiting for you to seek His face and His will for your life. Never allow yourself to feel like there is no hope. There is always hope. Find your rest in Him. We have to learn to be willing to take our eyes off of ourselves and look up to heaven for our hope. Without hope life can seem to be miserable. But when you know there is someone greater than you who wants the best for you, you can rest in knowing that things will be okay. For this reason, you need to call on Him. He is willing to listen to you. Never feel like you must do it all by yourself. Call on Him for help. Therefore, when you feel like you want to turn away from God, you need to turn toward Him instead. BOARD OF DIRECTORS Dr. Mary E. Beck, Chairperson Dr. T.R. Lee, Jr. Mrs. Dorothy Lee Atty.

Ester Davis The First Question Uttered in the Bible a perfect environment which he had dominion over, but He gave Adam only one restriction: "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." Adam had only one restriction, and he failed. Why? Because Adam became self-willed, selfcentered, and self-seeking. As chapter 3 opens, we find Adam's wife, Eve, listening and responding to Satan's doubt of the veracity of God's Word. Satan wants every person, especially those who are unsaved, to be deceived with regards to the truthfulness of God's Word. By following Satan's crafty suggestions, Eve sinned in eating of the forbidden fruit, and later Adam. As a result of their sin, the fellowship that Page 2A The best place to find refuge is in God's loving arms. There is no other place you should want to be when you feel like the world is falling around you. You can find rest in Him. So let us be like the Psalmist, "…it is good to be near God." (Psalm 73:28) Do you want to draw closer to God? If you do, then simply call on Him and find rest. Be at peace. Can you do that this week? I know I will. Amen? Amen.

J. ESTER DAVIS Did you know that Anna Short Harrington was a real person? Her face only is famous all over the world. That is the face of the famous branded Aunt Jemima Syrup. She died in 1955. Her image has been on the bottle of Aunt Jemima Syrup since 1935 along with other various products massed produced by several companies. The grandson of Aunt Jemima, nee Anna Short Harrington, has filed a two($2) billion dollar class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and all of her great grandchildren. The lawsuit is filed against Quaker Oats, PepsiCo, Pinnacle Food Group and The Hillshire Brands Company. These companies have used this image without equitable fair share of royalties for over sixty(60)years. After Anna Short Harrington took on the role of the Aunt Jemima character in 1935, her likeness was used by the companies and a trademark was registered for it in 1937. When confronted with this information, the companies denied that she was ever an employee, stating they could not find any employee records. The denial continued as it relates to exploiting her image and recipes (plural) for profit. Anna Short Harrington was supposedly selected because of her own pancake recipe. Now the companies have added waffles , etc, to the line of tasty breakfast goodies. Royalties lawsuits have an uphill battle in today's marketplace, mainly because the court's are overwhelmed. The Temptations (Motown male vocal group) launched a class action lawsuit for digital royalties. The larger, more pronounced lawsuits are about music sampling, and of course, the royalty rip-offs relating to oil and gas. In the case of the pancake royalties, the family think they have a chance at collecting their overdue inheritance. Quaker Oaks find no validity to the action. Stay tuned.

Who is Gil Garza? Veteran coach and athletic director Gil Garza is the Dallas ISD's new athletic director. He most recently worked in the San Antonio Independent School District where he served as athletic director from 20022014. "The experience and leadership Gil brings is impressive," said Superintendent Mike Miles. We knew he was the best candidate to lead the department as we forge ahead and continue to provide the best learning and athletic environment for our students." Garza brings more than 30 years of coaching and athletic leadership to the district, including as an appointee of the TEA Commissioner to the University Interscholastic League (UIL) State Executive Committee. The 11-member committee interprets the rules, settles disputes between UIL districts, and conducts investigations and hears appeals of Monday, September 1 alleged violations. Garza is one of three current athletic directors in the state to sit on the committee. "The immediate goal of the athletics department is to teach and mentor our staff as we build a better system that demonstrates a sense of pride, class and credibility," said Garza. "I'm happy to serve the entire student body of the Dallas ISD as we push to ensure our students are college or career ready upon graduation. If we have competent, credentialed leaders who take pride in shaping our students, we can reach that goal." Throughout his career, Garza has been elected to various state boards, including the board of directors of the Texas High School Athletic Directors Association (THSADA). In 2009, he was elected president of the THSADA and in 2010 was named THSADA Athletic Director of the Year. Gil Garza Garza began his first week in the district by issuing a commitment to principals to collaborate with each of them saying, "It is my desire to work as part of your team of excellence as a respected resource you can depend on when making the critical decisions of hiring, evaluating, and developing your coaches to be the best."

King Jr. Blvd. Dallas, TX 75215 When: Monday, Sept. 1 – game day 9 a.m. Alumni tailgating will begin 3 p.m. Kickoff Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry generated an instant headline early last week when he declared himself a better offensive player than four-time MVP LeBron James. When asked on the Dan Patrick Show who was the better offensive player, Curry, known for his accurate stroke, replied, "Me." James has dominated the league over the last few years, guiding the Miami Heat to four consecutive finals appearances. Curry may have a point, however. He's evolved into one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the leag ue in just a few short seasons. By far, James is the better player. But offensively, Curry's argument seems pretty valid. Perry Green and Stephen D. Riley of the AFRO Sports Desk debate just how valid that statement may be. Riley: Curry is easily more skilled offensively than James. His handle is tighter, his shot is better, and his hardwood IQ is just as sharp as any blue chip NBA star. You're never going to opt for James to take an open shot over Curry. The 2014 NBA All Star can fill it up, evidenced by his selection this year. He's been taught well by his father, Dell Curry, and his fundamentals in every offensive portion of his game are solid. Green: Curry might be better skilled but James can take over games and that aspect to me makes him the better offensive player by default. James' size, speed, and athleticism give him the perfect combination to attack any style of defense. His post game has continued to mature under the Heat organization and the range on his jumper continues to strengthen. He's the ultimate player in the NBA and the fact that he can control a game once he gets hot gives any team he's on a chance to cut deficits or blow games wide open. For all his skills, a bigger defender can often take Curry out of his game. At his size and conditioning, James is indefensible. Riley: James' size is always going to win him any argument, but if we're talking pound-for-pound and who's the most skilled then I can't see how it isn't Curry. He's already one of the best, but put Curry in James' body and what kind of devastating player would you have? I would put Curry against anybody in any type of three-point shooting or skillstype competition. Would James really be the best player in the world if he wasn't dominating defenders with his size? Green: Quite possibly. James' floor game and basketball intellect make him just as much the terror on the court as his physical prowess. The reason he's such an outstanding player is based more on his wellrounded game than anything else. Curry's skills are outstanding but he's never going to be the force that James is, nor will he match his leadership skills. A few years ago, this would have been a loaded question. However, after years of growing up and reshaping his floor game, James is now the ideal player because he just exceeds at everything that has to do with basketball. I may not like LeBron James very much, but I will respect his skill set. I can say this: I would rather watch Stephen Curry shoot 40-foot jumpers any time over LeBron's game. It's just something attractive about the long-ball shot. But when we talk offensive efficiency, King James comes second to no one. Where: Beverly D. Humphrey Tiger Stadium 200 E.
