'Hot in Cleveland': LeBron James, give Betty White a call
Twitter
GoogleIf you're a sports fan, you know that the biggest story going right now -- aside from the World Cup -- is the status of NBA superstar LeBron James.
Cleveland Cavaliers fans badly want to keep James, who grew up in nearby Akron, in Ohio. And apparently we can count Betty White among those fans -- or at least her "Hot in Cleveland" character, Elka Ostrovsky.
James is a free agent, and he's been taking meetings with several teams, including the New York Knicks, New Jersey Nets, Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Clippers, before finally talking with the Cavaliers -- the only NBA team he's ever played for -- on Saturday.
To help with the hometown effort, White and her "Cleveland" co-stars Valerie Bertinelli, Wendie Malick and Jane Leeves made the video above, appealing to James to stay in Cleveland. Betty/Elka even promises to make it "worth your while" to remain with the Cavaliers.
So that should just about seal the deal, right? Sorry, Knicks fans. You just can't compete with the Power of Betty.

This show is great!
I heard Vin Broccoli was doing a guest spot on this show... is that true?
If Betty White doesn't win another Emmy for her role as Elka, the voting is fixed! I realize the writing on the show is excellent, but her delivery of every line is spot on.
Lebron, you MUST listen to these four beautiful women....especially Betty and Valerie.
If you have a heart and you like classy women, listen to these four women and stay in Cleveland. Your career will be stellar and people will respect you even more.
Carl Reiner and Betty White are so funny together. He should become a regular on the show and date Betty White. How great would that be?
ENOUGH azz kissing all ready!! if sports players are not happy with the millions they all ready make then...k em! from cleveland
does it matter where he lands? not to james.......he will be set for life , no matter where. Of course, he must consider the tax issue.......lol.
Since Betty White grew up in near Akron... I wonder what she said when he decided to go to South Beach... She probably doesn't care.
