Cedi Osman is ready for his close-up -- the opportunity he's been dreaming about for years

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- How did Cedi Osman end up in a star-studded workout alongside the league's premier small forwards?

Let him tell you -- through the megawatt smile that's been plastered on his face ever since.

"When I was in Summer League in Vegas I met with Bron (LeBron James) and was having a dinner," Osman said. "He offered me to practice with him. What do you expect me to say? I said, 'Of course, that would be perfect.' After that I went back to Turkey, had a little vacation for two weeks and then to New York for the rookie transition program and then went back to LA to meet with LeBron and to work out with him.
