If LeBron James needs a tour guide in New York this summer, Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia is willing to play the part. Sabathia is a huge NBA fan and pals with LeBron James, the Yankee lefty might be in a position to change the New York hoops landscape. Joking with reporters Tuesday at the Bombers’ minor-league complex, Sabathia quipped that he’d start recruiting James to New York over the summer. Get ready to dream, Knicks and Nets fans. James, who is from Akron, certainly seems to have an affinity for New York – he’s been spotted multiple times wearing a Yankee cap. “I’m sure he’ll be up here in the summertime and come to a couple (Yankee) games,” Sabathia said, laughing. “It’ll start then. Get him some good seats. Maybe buy some seats – nah, it’s too expensive.” New York Daily News
