?Fernando Alonso says 11th is the best position for him to start Sundays Mexican Grand Prix after narrowly missing out on a place in the top 10 during qualifying.The McLaren driver was edged out of the top 10 in the final seconds of Q2 and will line up from 11th with teammate Jenson Button two places back in 13th. Despite failing to make it through into the final segment of qualifying, Alonso feels that missing out on a spot in Q3 provides him with a strong strategy thanks to a free tyre choice for the start of the race.This was probably the best position we could have dreamed of today, because we get a free choice of tyres for the race, the double-world champion explained. Im starting on the clean side, so a lot of things have gone our way today. We were not quick enough, unfortunately.Were struggling a little bit for pace and I think it will be the same thing for the remaining races. For us P11 is the best possible position, so Im happy with todays performance but we need to understand why were not as competitive as we were recently. Weve put everything into the 2017 car so maybe were paying the price for that decision.After having his interview interrupted by Button, the Spaniard joked that beating his teammate was all he wanted to achieve on Sunday.As far as Im concerned if I finish ahead of Jenson thats all I want.Traffic proved a problematic factor throughout practice and qualifying and following his own incident with Ferraris Sebastian Vettel during FP2, Alonso says he aims to steer clear of any potential trouble on race-day, as well as getting caught up in the championship fight between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.Tomorrow everything will be unknown, so we have to go into the race with an open strategy. Avoiding traffic will be one of the priorities for the race, but the feeling for the tyres changed from Friday to Saturday. I try not to do anything stupid with anyone on the track, so Ill do the same with the title contenders.

The Canadian squad, skipped by Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg, got on the board first with two in the second end, and followed that with two more apiece in the fourth and sixth ends. WASHINGTON -- LeBron James appreciates being appreciated.When asked about being named the leagues No. 1 player for the sixth consecutive year in ESPNs annual #NBArank, the three-time champion said there is one characteristic to his game that people are noticing.I think it means something of the simple fact that, you know, that what Im doing, Im very consistent, James said following the Cleveland Cavaliers 105-94 win over the Washington Wizards on Friday. Im very consistent with my game, very consistent on how I approach the game. And theres, whoevers making it, I dont know whos making the case for it, they respect the way I play the game. So its a testament to that.James made the comments on the same night he became the youngest player in league history to reach the 27,000-point mark (31 years, 317 days), besting Kobe Bryants previous mark (32 years, 160 days).Its truly an honor to be a part of a journey like that where you see someone put in so much work every single day and accomplishment after accomplishment, said Kyrie Irving,?who was one of James teammmates who celebrated the accomplishment by emptying water bottles on the 14-year veterans head.ddddddddddddReally just humble about it, Irving said of James. Its the best way to be, and thats who he is. For us, really celebrate and be a part of it, we never want to take it for granted. He deserves it, a douse of water.

You never take it for granted, especially moments like that.James is two-for-two in being named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week so far this season and is averaging 23.4 points, 9.3 assists and 9.0 rebounds through the Cavs 7-1 start.If James had an MVP award to match every year that he has led #NBArank, he would be tied with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the leagues all-time lead with six. As it is, only Abdul-Jabbars six and Michael Jordans five Maurice Podoloff Trophies beat his collection of four.
