GREEN & GLOVER: Moore on King James

Moore on King James

Days after LeBron James‘ trip to town for the opening night of Silverdocs and the premiere of a documentary about his high school basketball team, “More Than a Game,” it seems as if everyone’s still talking about “King James.”

After yesterday’s press conference for Save the Children, G2 had an opportunity to speak with Mark Shriver, who serves as the group’s vice president, and actress Julianne Moore. When we mentioned to Mr. Shriver that we had seen him at the premiere of “Game,” the conversation quickly turned to the NBA superstar.

Miss Moore asked, “LeBron James movie? What LeBron James movie?” Apparently she and her son are big fans. Then the two exchanged stories about how their sons met the King.

“I chased him down the court with my son. I went running, ‘LeBron LeBron!’ dragging my son behind me. He turned and said, ‘Oh, hey,’ and I said, ‘This is my son!’ We were at an all-star game in Houston. My son was just seven. LeBron was very sweet.”

Then it was the turn of the Kennedy clan’s Mr. Shriver. “We were in the theater,” he recalled. “My son ran down the aisle, and [James] walked by and gave him a high five - or actually a low five. My son couldn’t talk.”

A collective “Awwww” echoed in the room.

Top burger

Move over Ray’s Hell Burger. The prime-rib burger at Nage Bistro has beat you to the grill as one of Food Network magazine’s 50 best burgers in the United States.

The best-burger search was led by celebrity chef Bobby Flay, who praises the burger’s mix of “mushroom duxelle and truffle oil.”

Priced at $13, Nage’s prime-rib burger is available at both the bistro’s locations, in Rehoboth Beach, Del., and Scott Circle in the District.

Shake it up

You may need a little something to wash down your burger, and if you’re in the mood for something with a little kick, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow may be your gal.
