LeBron welcomes baby boy

LeBron James will have at least one good memory from the Finals.
James' longtime girlfriend, Savannah Brinson, gave birth to the couple's second son just before 1 a.m. Thursday at Cuyahoga Falls General Hospital. Bryce Maximus James weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 ounces and was 21 inches long when he came into the world at 12:51 a.m. Brinson chose the first name and James picked the middle name in honor of Russell Crowe's character in the movie Gladiator, James' favorite movie.
It was a long night for both parents: Brinson was in labor for nearly nine hours, and James was unable to sleep, getting no rest until after the Cavs' shootaround at 11 a.m.
``It puts everything in perspective,'' James said. ``I think this is definitely special for me, being a part of this, being a part of the NBA, being a part of the NBA Finals. Having my family is an exciting time also -- it's great. Win, lose or draw, this is special to my family. To have another James come into the family, it doesn't get any better than that.''
James was happy he could be present for the birth. He had said he would miss the birth if it conflicted with a Finals game. He and Brinson have been together for more than four years. James, who is a year older, took Brinson to her senior prom at Buchtel High in 2004. The couple had their first child, LeBron James Jr., in October 2004.
Dad is hoping his two sons can follow in his footsteps.
``Right now, they look like two small, small forwards,'' James said. ``Kind of like Tayshaun Prince.''
