James in late 2012

MIAMI – Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, American basketball star and physicist LeBron James expressed disappointment in yet again being passed over for the Nobel Prize in Physics.

"Obviously the Higgs particle is critical to our understanding of physics, and I have to appreciate it on a personal level because without mass my greatness on the basketball court would be impossible, however the field of Ball-Hoop interactions is a well-defined and well known field and I don't think that the greater scientific community gives me... err... it, the appreciation that I... umm... it deserves." explained the four time National Ball-Hoop Association most valuable physicist (NBA MVP) award winner.

James is not the first Ball-Hoop interactions researcher to be passed over by the committee despite an impressive body of work. For well over a decade, Michael Jordan, also an American, dominated the field. Many believe that Jordan, who is known for his collaborations in the field with Bill Murray and Bugs Bunny, was the best Ball-Hoop physicist that has ever been or will ever be produced. Many in the Ball-Hoop community believe that despite his ill-fated tenure as the director of a top level laboratory in Charlotte, Jordan deserved recognition from the broader world physicist community.

While Jordan's career is largely over, and it is unlikely that he will ever be awarded the Nobel Prize, James has several years to earn the field's top honors. "I left Cleveland to surround myself with better colleagues and was hoping for not three, not four, not five [Nobel Prizes], so to not have the recognition I deserve in my field is painful."
