Lebron James and the Miami Heat now stand just one game short of an NBA title, meaning that if Lebron wins a ring, the full attention of the sports media will turn to Tim Tebow and the New York Jets.

"We want to win a championship for ourselves," said Thunder coach Scott Brooks. "But I'm not going to tell you that not unleashing 24/7 Jets coverage on the nation isn't additional motivation. We know America is counting on us to save them."

James believes that the national fear of Tebow coverage without the "Will LeBron ever win a ring?" story to balance it out is part of the reason he is hated by so many.

"I never committed any crimes. I'm not a bad guy, yet I'm hated more than anyone in sports," said James. "If people don't want me to win a championship because it will result in more Tebow coverage, well … I can completely understand that."

Less than 24 hours after participating in his first official workout as a member of the New York Jets, Tim Tebow is reportedly depressed and questioning his entire worldview.

"Tim is in a very dark place right now," said his brother, Robbie Tebow. "He's not sure if there's anything to live for or if there is any good in the world. This is new for him. He's questioning everything and the only answers he's finding our hopelessness and despair. The Jets have killed his soul."

The quarterback's brother admits he saw this coming.

"Ever since he was a little kid, Tim had an unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ. Everyone who knew him knew he walked the walk and was sincere in his faith," said Robbie. "But when I found out he got traded to the Jets, well … I can't say I didn't expect this. I really don't see how it's possible to be a Jet and live with Christ's joy. God is powerful, but even the creator of the universe is weak in the face of that level of failure and debauchery."

Tebow reported to the Jets team facility Monday morning in his usual upbeat, outgoing manner, shaking hands and laughing with teammates. But not five minutes later, a change in mood started to appear.
