CLEVELAND -- After going more than a half-century without one major pro title, Cleveland sure seemed an unlikely candidate to join the ranks of cities with two in the same year.Then LeBron James came back to town to lead the Cavaliers to the NBA championship, and the Indians made it to the World Series. The Indians led the Chicago Cubs 3-1 in the best-of-seven series before losing two games in a row, including 9-3 on Tuesday, but theyll get another chance to end their 68-year title drought in Game 7 on Wednesday night.Back in June, the city thats been teased and tormented by its beloved sports teams was celebrating the end of a 52-year title drought when James & Co. beat the Golden State Warriors in a Game 7. So the Indians are hoping to give Cleveland another reason to party.Here are cities that have celebrated two major pro sports titles in the same year, with snapshots of the most recent doubles:-Pittsburgh, 2009. Steelers and Penguins. The Steelers won their record sixth Super Bowl title and second in four seasons, 27-23 over the Arizona Cardinals. Ben Roethlisberger threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds left and James Harrison returned an interception 100 yards for a TD. The Penguins snared their third title by winning a seven-game Stanley Cup finals over the Detroit Red Wings. It was a rematch from the previous seasons finals won by Detroit. Pittsburghs Evgeni Malkin became the first Russian-born player to win the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player.-Boston, 2004. Patriots and Red Sox. The Red Sox ended a lengthy drought of their own with Bostons first World Series title since 1918, ending the Curse of the Bambino. A team that dropped the first three ALCS games to the New York Yankees before rallying swept the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 in the Series. New England won its second Super Bowl title in three years with a 32-29 victory over the Carolina Panthers. Quarterback Tom Brady won his second of three Super Bowl MVP honors.-Los Angeles, 2002. Lakers and Angels. Shaquille ONeal led the Lakers to their third straight NBA title and 14th overall. ONeal averaged 36 points and 12 rebounds in the Finals to earn MVP honors. It was Phil Jacksons ninth championship to match Red Auerbach for the most in league history. The Anaheim Angels went from a second-place AL West finish to their first World Series title with a seven-game win over San Francisco.-Los Angeles, 1988. Lakers and Dodgers. The Lakers won their last title of the Magic Johnson era, fulfilling coach Pat Rileys pledge the year before that were gonna repeat. Led by National League MVP Kirk Gibson and Cy Young Award winner Orel Hershiser, the underdog Dodgers beat the Oakland Athletics to win the World Series. A hobbled Gibson set the stage with his game-ending pinch-hit home run off Dennis Eckersley in the first game.Other twin title years:-New York, 1986. Giants and Mets. (Giants won Super Bowl in January 1987)-Pittsburgh, 1979. Steelers and Pirates. (Steelers won Super Bowl in January 1980)-Baltimore, 1970. Colts and Orioles.

Fake Vans From China .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed. Knicks president Phil Jackson says he made a mistake in talking about another teams player when he made comments about LeBron James last month that included the word posse in describing the Cavaliers stars business associates.Thats a topic Im not going to discuss because one, we are not supposed to discuss other teams players in this position that I have here. So I violated one of the tenets of our thing, Jackson said in an interview on the CBS Sports Network that aired Tuesday.The obvious thing is, the word itself carries connotation. And I just dont understand that, that part of it -- the word, Jackson added. So I guess word choice could be something I could regret. But talking about other teams players, thats out of the box.James and business partner Maverick Carter slammed Jackson last month for what they perceived was an intended slight by the 11-time championship coach when he retold a story about James days with the Miami Heat in an interview with ESPNs Jackie MacMullan.James said on Monday that he has no interest in meeting with Jackson while the Cavaliers are in New York to play the Knicks on Wednesday night.Jackson also didnt feel the need to address the issue with James.No. Its water under the bridge, he said. I dont think there was anybody hurt or harmed in this situation. I think LeBrons friend [Carter] obviously had an issue with it. We just let it go. Its not enough to talk about it.Jackson used the term posse to describe James business associates when discussing James leaving the Miami Heat in free agency.It had to hurt when they lost LeBron, Jackson said. That was definitely a slap in the face.dddddddddddd But there were a lot of little things that came out of that. When LeBron was playing with the Heat, they went to Cleveland, and he wanted to spend the night. They dont do overnights. Teams just dont. So now [coach Erik] Spoelstra has to text [Pat] Riley and say, What do I do in this situation? And Pat, who has iron-fist rules, answers: You are on the plane. You are with this team. You cant hold up the whole team because you and your mom and your posse want to spend an extra night in Cleveland.I always thought Pat had this really nice vibe with his guys. But something happened there where it broke down. I do know LeBron likes special treatment. He needs things his way.Jackson was also asked during the CBS Sports Network interview about Golden State coach Steve Kerrs use of medicinal marijuana to recover from back surgery. He said he used marijuana during his own recovery from back surgery.The year that I was off I was smoking marijuana during that period of time. I think it was a distraction for me as much as a pain reliever, Jackson said. But I never thought of it as ultimately a pain medication for that type of situation.Jackson said marijuana was something that we either have to accommodate or figure out another way to deal with it.We have tried to stop [marijuana use] in the NBA, Jackson said. I dont think we have been able to stop it. I think it still goes on and is still a part of the culture in the NBA.? ' ' '
