MIAMI - LeBron James was desperate for some time away from basketball, so he packed up his family for a vacation this summer. Sun and sand. Rest and relaxation. Pen and paper, too. It didnt take long until the NBAs MVP took a break from taking a break. Considered the best player in the game, James remains obsessed with getting better. Thats why, on the verge of starting his 11th professional season and fourth with the Miami Heat, James fully expects the 2013-14 campaign to be his best one yet. He knows theres no shortage of challengers aiming to knock both him and his team off their respective mountaintops. "Im nitpicking now, obviously, at my own game," James said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I want that. I want to be uncomfortable. I want to continue to push the envelope and get to a point where I feel like Im trying to master everything. Now, I cant be the greatest at everything. Theres better rebounders than me. Theres better passers than me. Theres better scorers than me. But I want to be able to maximize my potential in everything I do." So thats why, when he finally got some down time this summer — after the season and before his wedding to Savannah Brinson — James didnt allow himself to totally step away from the game. Even while on vacation, and with a notepad at his side, James broke down every Heat playoff game, every moment of post-season matchup last season against Milwaukee, Chicago, Indiana and San Antonio. When he saw something that wasnt just right, he wrote it down to further analyze later. "I push myself," James said. "There are ways I can get better. I would write down the exact time, the exact play, the exact quarter, the plays where I could have did something better." At 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds, a marriage of size and speed that many covet, the reality is that James probably is not going to get much better physically. His shooting has improved. Hes talked plenty in recent months about becoming a better free-throw shooter. His post game has been reinvented. His defence is exceptional. Where James is getting better, those around him say, is in the thinking department. "Some skills may get sharper, but where his growth is going to take off for the next 10 years is mentally," Heat forward Shane Battier said. "Hes talking about situations now that he wasnt talking about two years ago when I first got here and understanding how to best beat those situations. Everyone always lauds his basketball IQ, but his experience is now really coming through." Four MVP awards. Two championships. Two Finals MVPs. By the end of this season — after which he could choose to be a free agent again, though he swears that he doesnt know what will happen next summer — he could be among the top 25 scorers in NBA history. Based on jersey sales, theres no more popular basketball player on the planet, something few would have imagined after all the scorn directed his way when he chose to sign with Miami. And hes not even 30 yet. "Hes a special dude," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Hes always going to continue to stay in a state of uncomfortableness. This summer was a busy summer for him and yet he always finds time to get his work in, his conditioning. He wants to add different elements." One thing he added this summer was a diamond-crusted wedding band. James wedding finally happened in September, and out of respect to the couple, guests still are leery to talk about many specifics of that night at a San Diego resort. James thought San Diego would be the ideal spot after holding some youth camps there and seeing how the weather, almost without fail, is perfect. "The best part of the wedding was probably after the wedding," James said. "It turned into a party. Basically, thats all it was. It wasnt nothing but a big old party. We gave each other our rings and after that it turned into a big old party with all my friends and family. Thats all." On Tuesday night, he gets another ring, his second NBA title ring. And he insists that hell do whatever it takes for this season to end with another party. "The man above has given me God-given ability and talent, obviously," James said. "I want to take full advantage of it."

That win saw Villa claim their first back-to-back league victories in four years as they climbed into the top half of the table. Villa manager Paul Lambert said it was the best win of his tenure since he joined the club in 2012. "Thats probably the best win weve had. It was a fantastic all round team performance," said Lambert. A week after securing a 4-1 win over Norwich, the Midlands club welcomed the league leaders to Villa Park, with Mourinhos men looking to restore a nine-point advantage at the top of the table. After Manchester City had earlier beaten Hull City 2-0 away from home, the onus was on the Blues to extend their lead at the summit. Visiting Chelsea thought it took the lead in the 41st minute when midfielder Nemanja Matic poked home from close range following a corner, however he was alleged to have handled the ball first. The second half sprung to life after Chelsea midfielder Willian was sent off in the 68th for two bookable offences. Referee Chris Foys decision handed Villa the incentive, and they eventually capitalized through Fabian Delph.dddddddddddd The midfielder converted in the 82nd minute with a masterful flick, denting Chelseas title surge. Chelsea then found themselves down to nine men when midfielder Ramires was then shown a straight red in second-half stoppage time for a wild lunge at Karim El Ahmadi. That sparked animated scenes on the touchline, which eventually led to Mourinho being dismissed for his remonstrations. After the game the Chelsea boss refused to comment on referee Foys performance citing a fear of bringing the game into disrepute, which he intimated could lead to him facing a suspension. "A good solid performance against a good team. Defensively we were really, really strong. We had no problems to cope with the danger that Aston Villa had and after that I prefer not to comment because I dont want to bring the game into disrepute. I dont want to be accused," said the Stamford Bridge boss. Defeat leaves Chelsea at the top of the table on 66 points, six ahead of second-placed Manchester City, although Manuel Pellegrinis team have three games in hand. Both Liverpool and Arsenal can close the gap to four points with wins over Manchester United and Tottenham, respectively, in Sundays matches. ' ' '
