King James usually only comes to Dallas once per season. He'll make three trips in 2009-10.

Play-by-play man Mark Followill, the pride of North Texas, pointed out on Twitter that the Cavs have released their preseason schedule, which is news around these parts because the Mavs are on it twice. LeBron and Co. will play at the AAC on Oct. 17. The Mavs and Cavs will meet in Pittsburgh, Mark Cuban's hometown, three nights later.

The Cavs' regular season stop in Dallas comes Dec. 20. That's a Sunday during football season, but the Cowboys are playing in New Orleans the previous night, so Mavs-Cavs will get the spotlight.

And you can count on LeBron coming back for All-Star Weekend. Here's hoping to sticks to his vow of participating in the dunk contest for the first time.
