nah early on he was playing the whole i went to HS with LeBron card. Or whatever card he was playing in those early cleveland years. He always made it seem closer than what it was until the relationship soured.
yup, his claim to fame was trying to imply that he had inside information with lebron's camp RIGHT before the decision occurred, which is what catapulted him to ESPN from working the local akron newspaper.
THEY DEFINITELY HAD A RELATIONSHIP
IN THE PAST.
BRON BROKE THE STORY
THAT HE WAS HAVING A SON
(BRONNY)
TO WINDHORST.
Brian asked him what he was going to name his first son.
LeBron, LeBron said.
The story Brian wrote was about LeBron's excitement, and how he wanted to be a better dad than his own dad was for him.
After the birth of his son, LeBron returned to training camp, and all the other reporters asked him about it. They asked LeBron what he had named his son.
"Brian Windhorst James."
The reporters laughed. The odd response, Brian thought, was LeBron's way of thanking him for how he handled the situation.
