CLEVELAND -- LeBron James has often avoided talking about trying to match Michael Jordans accomplishments. Now hes chasing the ghost of arguably the greatest player in NBA history.Fresh off leading the Cavaliers to an NBA championship and bringing Cleveland its first title since 1964, James, in a story posted online by Sports Illustrated , recently told young players at a camp in Los Angeles that his motivation is this ghost Im chasing. The ghost played in Chicago.The ghost, of course, is Jordan, who led the Bulls to six titles. James has admired Jordan since he was a kid and reveres him to this day. James has typically sidestepped questions about being in Jordans elite company, and the 31-year-old tells SI hes hoping to build on his sterling resume.My career is totally different than Michael Jordans, James tells SIs Lee Jenkins. What Ive gone through is totally different than what he went through. What he did was unbelievable, and I watched it unfold. I looked up to him so much. I think its cool to put myself in position to be one of those great players, but if I can ever put myself in position to be the greatest player, that would be something extraordinary.While James is only halfway to matching Jordans number of titles, ending Clevelands drought in historic fashion -- the Cavs overcame a 3-1 deficit to beat Golden State -- will always separate him from other players.This was bigger for me than the first and the second, James tells SI, because of everything it represents.James chose not to play on a fourth U.S. Olympic basketball team this summer and his spent his off-season in L.A., where he owns a home and has numerous business connections.In the SI piece, James discusses his drive to bring a championship to his home state and how he sent his teammates a text message following their loss to the Warriors in Game 4. He wrote: Let it go, play hard, be focused, follow my lead, and Ill make sure you get home for a Game 6. Patrick Corbin Nationals Jersey .

Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The golden drought is over for France in fencing.One of the sports traditional powers won its first fencing gold medal since 2008, easily defeating Italy 45-31 in the mens team epee final on Sunday at the Rio de Janiero Olympics.Yannick Borel wrapped the match up for France with a quick touch of opponent Marco Fichera. Borel ripped off his mask and let out a scream to celebrate.Eight years is a long time for France to go without an Olympic fencing gold.Just the happiest moment in my fencing life, said Borel, a grin running from ear to ear. You want to share this with your friends. They are screaming, you are screaming, too.Until Sunday, the French team overall managed just a silver and bronze in fencing in Rio. They were left off the podium entirely at the 2012 London Games.The shutout ended with a resounding victory at Carioca Arena 3.Hungary won the bronze after beating Ukraine 39-37.In the final, Borel seemed to let out eight years of frustration for French fencers with a yell in the direction of vocal fans waving the French flag and his teammates.Later, Borel locked arms with teammates Daniel Jarent and Jean-Michel Lucenay, and the team jumped up and down in unison under the spotlights on the piste. Dance music filled the dimly-lit arena before the medal ceremony.There was much to celebrate foor France, which was ranked first in the world in mens epee.dddddddddddd The event wasnt contested in London, but France had won the previous two golds in mens epee, in Beijing in 2008 and Athens in 2004.Still, a victory on Sunday wasnt a lock, not against the third-ranked team in the world. Italys team included Enrico Garozzo, ranked second in the world.We came as a favorite, and they did their job with their performances here, France coach Hughes Obry said through an interpreter about his team. This is such a relief for them.Obry took over the program after London. Getting the team back to the top required tough training every day, he recounted.Once Borel got to Rio, he focused only on looking ahead.Today, I didnt look back, Borel said. I did this, and London is far away for me.France became the third country to win three straight golds in the mens team epee event, following Italy and Hungary. It was Frances ninth Olympic title in the event, breaking a tie with Italy for most golds.Mens team epee wasnt an event in 2012 because the sports international governing body has been rotating two team events out of the Olympics since Beijing.---Online:AP Summer Games: http://summergames.ap.org/ ' ' '
