Gloria James, the mother of Cavaliers star LeBron James, was sentenced Friday to three days in a driver-intervention program and fined $400 for a January traffic stop.
She also will lose her driver's license for a year and must serve 100 hours of community service. Akron Municipal Judge Lynne Callahan said James can do her community work through the James Family Foundation, the charitable organization she founded in the wake of her son's sports fame.
``Your position has certainly placed you in the public eye, and your life is under a microscope,'' Callahan said in sentencing James. ``I hope this attention will serve, at least, as a signal to you that any inappropriate conduct you take part in is going to have consequences -- very public consequences.
``You've been entrusted with a very important position with the James Family Foundation, a position in which you can do much good,'' the judge said. ``You've got a duty and responsibility to live up to the trust that was given to you in that position and to conduct yourself in a manner that will not reflect poorly on you and on the foundation.''
Gloria James, 38, pleaded no contest to four misdemeanor charges: having physical control of a motor vehicle while intoxicated, disorderly conduct, reckless operation, and speeding.

This is one reason NASCAR's popularity has exploded. People want entertainment and heroes more in line with their beliefs and demographics.
Another is that they want to see Road Rage in a more socially-appropriate setting.
You nailed it.
Regarding the NBA, it has become a chaotic mess of street-ball, and I can't stand watching anymore. The refs allow the players to travel, palm the ball, foul blatantly, and carry on theatrics, and they do nothing. The play has become so physical and rough it rivals the NFL - basketball is (should be) a game of finesse, skill and athletic ability, not brawn. In my opinion, the refs are at least partly to blame for the deterioration of pro basketball into its current trash culture state by their unwillingness to enforce the rules and control the game. It's a joke, and it is trickling all the way down into peewee basketball leagues.
Good one!
You should try watching some of the pro women's games. I've found them to be much more "true" basketball. And sure, the lesbians love them, but so what? At least the players are not a bunch of criminals.
Dong forget the refs allowed shaq to use his enormous arse as a plow to clear his way to the basket.
: )
She's 38 years old now? How old is he?
OK ... just looked it up, he was born in 1984, so that means she was only 16 when she gave birth to him. Sigh...
I take this to mean she can go sit behind a big desk in a luxury office and tell people what to do.
