LeBron sends selfie on way to jury duty

Even royalty has to sit with commoners once in a while. But at least King James doesn't mind helping turn the wheels of justice while having to do so.

LeBron James was all smiles on his Instagram account as he prepared to make his way to the courtroom to report for jury duty Thursday morning and tweeted the following: "Jury duty time. Time to serve my civic duty."

No word on if the NBA's biggest star will actually serve at a trial but at least he brought a book to keep himself occupied while getting that $15 per diem.

LeBron James' wedding is so secret invites don't have time or location

LeBron James and his fiancee Savannah Brinson have sent out their wedding invites and — in an attempt to throw off curious fans and the paparazzi — the nuptials are SO top secret they don't list a time or location ... but instead send invited guests on a clandestine retrieval mission.

According to the invites — obtained by TMZ — King James and his future bride are still tying the knot on the weekend of Sept.13th to 15th, somewhere in San Diego (which has become public knowledge from the "Save the Weekend" note the couple sent out back in March. That preliminary invite featured a caricature of the couple and their two sons, LeBron Jr, 8, and Bryce, 5, all grinning and dressed up flying a plane into San Diego.

But the latest invites are super vague ... only listing a "Welcome Barbecue" at 7pm on Friday, Sept 13th. Then listing a "Farewell Brunch" at 10:30 am Sunday. 

But there no mention of an address or the location of the ceremony!

One thing is for sure, Friday the 13th's BBQ falls on the beginning Yom Kippur, so don't expect any Jewish wedding crashers.

Guests are now instructed to call a top secret phone number by August 1st to continue the scavenger hunt. After guests call the number, someone will get back to them with actual details.

It's probably a good thing the couple didn't hire that Snowden guy as their wedding planner.

Jason Kidd gets first 1st technical as NBA coach

Jason Kidd has had many firsts during 21 seasons in the NBA but added another one to his career Sunday — this time as the Brooklyn Nets' new head coach.

Kidd received his first technical as an NBA coach at the team's first Summer League game while making his debut as the Nets bench leader.

Brooklyn's rookie coach got off the bench Sunday, walked too far across half court to challenge a foul call and was teed up with 2:23 left in the Nets' 76-67 loss to the Detroit Pistons.

"It happens," Kidd said of the technical. "I learned quickly where the coaching box is. I've seen some coaches on the other end of the floor, so I can't follow their lead."

Kidd, who had racked up 26 technical fouls as a player, still couldn't believe it.

"We were trying to foul a player and the referee missed it and it led to free throws," Kidd said. "So I tried to express to the referees that they missed what we were trying to do. It happens. They are not perfect, we are not perfect. So it's a lesson learned that I know I can't go past half-court."

The future Hall of Famer showed a relaxed demeanor during most of the game —  cheering on his players, giving quiet advice and listening to  his assistant coaches. The summer league is giving the former point guard a great opportunity to learn coaching from the bench instead of the floor.

"This is training ground for every one — officials, coaches, players," said the 40-year-old Kidd. "We're all trying to get better."

At times, it appeared to be coaching by committee.

"I will lean on my staff," Kidd said. "Every one of the coaches will bring something to the table."

Kidd, who came into the game with no head coaching experience after getting the job only a week after retiring as a player, didn't let the presence of other head coaches in the stands — including the world champion Miami Heat's Eric Spolestra — rattle his nerves.

"Didn't it look normal?" asked Kidd.

Not if you're used to seeing Kidd in a uniform for the past two decades.
