words only definitions & notes
  1. bearing false witness
    criminal offense of making false statements under oath
    Why, you could even say then that LeBron would be bearing false witness against old neighbors.
  2. covet
    wish, long, or crave for
    And then, I think if something else had to go, it would be that business about coveting.
  3. amok
    wildly; without self-control
    Except perhaps in New York City, where coveting has run amok.
  4. cyberspace
    a worldwide network of computer networks
    First, there is no longer any consensus that, in a cyberspace world, a star athlete needs to perform in a media capital like New York.
  5. Bathsheba
    the wife of Uriah and later the wife of king David
    The Yankees feed this attitude by simply taking whomsoever they desire, like King David just grabbing Bathsheba for himself from poor Uriah the Hittite.
  6. nativity
    the event of being born
    For him to abandon the unfashionable land of his nativity to go to glitzy New York might reek of disloyalty and hurt his pristine reputation.
  7. pristine
    immaculately clean and unused
    For him to abandon the unfashionable land of his nativity to go to glitzy New York might reek of disloyalty and hurt his pristine reputation.
  8. rapacious
    living by preying on other animals
    If the Mets don't go out and pillage a small franchise of some superstar that fans covet, everybody gets furious at the Mets for not being properly rapacious.
  9. hoax
    something intended to deceive
    There was even a hoax on the Internet last week that Nike had already produced a sneaker for LeBron in Knicks colors with "I love New York" printed on the sole.
  10. coy
    affectedly shy especially in a playful or provocative way
    James himself feeds this frenzy by playing coy, but the LeBron fever has been stoked even more by, of all things, Tiger Woods.
  11. pillage
    steal goods; take as spoils
    If the Mets don't go out and pillage a small franchise of some superstar that fans covet, everybody gets furious at the Mets for not being properly rapacious.
  12. consensus
    agreement in the judgment reached by a group as a whole
    First, there is no longer any consensus that, in a cyberspace world, a star athlete needs to perform in a media capital like New York.
  13. reek
    give off smoke, fumes, warm vapour, steam, etc.
    For him to abandon the unfashionable land of his nativity to go to glitzy New York might reek of disloyalty and hurt his pristine reputation.
  14. stoke
    (of a fire) stir up or tend
    James himself feeds this frenzy by playing coy, but the LeBron fever has been stoked even more by, of all things, Tiger Woods.
  15. conspiracy
    a plot to carry out some harmful or illegal act
    King James has succeeded to that position, and the conspiracy theory goes that now that he's No. 1, Nike desires him in New York, where he will give more exposure to the swoosh.
  16. Moses
    (Old Testament) the Hebrew prophet who led the Israelites from Egypt across the Red sea on a journey known as the Exodus; Moses received the Ten Commandments from God on Mount Sinai
    Ten is a nice round number, but let's imagine that Moses only came down from the mountain with, say, eight commandments.
  17. medium
    the surrounding environment
    First, there is no longer any consensus that, in a cyberspace world, a star athlete needs to perform in a media capital like New York.
