MEDINA: LeBron James' 23rd birthday started with the flashing lightbar of a state patrol cruiser in Medina County and ended with flashing cameras in Las Vegas.

The Cavaliers' star was ticketed for driving 101 mph on Interstate 71 at 2:43 a.m. Dec. 30.

James, who lives in Sharon Township, was driving his 2008 white four-door Mercedes with vanity license plates ''KNG OF AK'' southbound on the highway in Brunswick Hills Township when he was stopped. The speed limit on that stretch of highway is 65 mph.

He was cited for speeding.

Cleveland attorney Colin R. Jennings filed a not guilty plea Tuesday in Medina Municipal Court on James' behalf. The case is scheduled for a hearing at 1 p.m. Feb. 11.

1. a mercedes?

that's all they will give us? c'mon LeBron, you can do better than that. where's your Aston Martin, or your Lamborghini? don't get nabbed for speeding in a Benz, I don't care how tricked it is.

2. At least it wasn't a DUI.

But excessive speeding could be just as dangerous.

I still love Lebron though. :)

3. Lands a ticket? It should have landed him in JAIL.

I had a friend who was ticketed in Ohio and she had to pay her ticket - in cash - on the spot. Did they make LeBron do that?

At any rate, that is a reckless speed. Remember the guy from the Blazers (Ramon Ramos) who did that, and slipped on a patch of ice and went into a coma?
