If you couldn’t make out his stellar penmanship, Eli wrote directly to Coach Mike Budenholzer:

Dear Coach Bud,

My name is Eli. I’m 8 and I love the Hawks. I checked out “Kings of the Court: The Cleveland Cavaliers” from my school library. The book says LeBronJames.com has LeBron’s strengths and weaknesses. I wanted you to know this. I hope the weaknesses help you beat the Cavs. Go Hawks!
