Wherever Lebron James goes he creates a media firestorm. This week it was no different when he showed up in Lexington, Kentucky to watch his son Lebron James Jr. play his AAU game.

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of BACARDÍ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Now that the NBA Draft 2014 has come and gone, I'm sure most of the readers of The Hoop Doctors are like most of the staff here at THD spending most of their free time thinking [...]

Following the Heat’s Game 4 win last night to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals, Paul George made some ‘inferences’ during his post-game press conference.

Yesterday, Kevin Durant was officially introduced as the league’s Most Valuable Player. And in doing so, that also meant it was time for him to give a speech. Durant is an emotional guy and we saw evidence of that when he cried after losing in the Finals to the Heat a few years ago. Well, [...]

En route to a dominant Miami Heat win over Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Bobcats tonight, Lebron James wanted to send a message to the GOAT sitting on the Bobcats sideline. As he ran the break on way to one of his patented and vicious one-handed dunks, he looked over at MJ for more than a few [...]
