		<description><![CDATA[Peoria Chiefs lampoon LeBron James

For one night, fans of the Chicago Cubs minor league affliliate Peoria Chiefs can have their own replica of LeBron James&#039; first championship ring.

Call it the cheapest promotion in sports history because, like James&#039; ring, the handout doesn&#039;t exist.

The Chiefs, a Class A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs in the Midwest League, will hold a &quot;LeBron James NBA Championship Replica Giveaway night&quot; Thursday, poking fun at the Miami Heat star&#039;s loss in the NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks.

James &quot;Replica rings&quot; -- also known as air -- will be handed out by stadium workers as fans enter the park, according to Chiefs spokesman Nathan Baliva.

Throughout the game, Peoria will honor &quot;a true champion&quot; -- the Chicago Bulls&#039; six NBA titles -- with video clips and audio highlights, and the Chiefs will take the field to &quot;Sirius,&quot; the Alan Parsons Project song used by the Bulls during their player introductions.

The Chiefs said they are &quot;looking into&quot; whether they can skip the fourth inning -- another poke at James, who scored just 18 points during the fourth quarter in six NBA Finals games.

&quot;We aren&#039;t sure if the league will allow it,&quot; Peoria president Rocky Vonachen said in a statement. &quot;But if LeBron doesn&#039;t need to show up for the fourth, maybe we won&#039;t, either.&quot;

Among the other James promotional digs planned: A fan will win a &quot;replica&quot; of James&#039; Finals MVP award (which actually went to the Mavericks&#039; Dirk Nowitzki), and Heimlich maneuver classes will be offered to help prevent people from &quot;choking in a big situation.&quot;]]></description>
