Lebron James

While bigoted NBA owners damage the NBA’s brand severely, a far more fundamental problem with how the NBA is played today is destroying the game from the inside. You know what it is before I even type it: the block/charge call, the most controversial call in basketball. I watched the game before and after this [...]

Kevin Love isn’t going to pull a LeBron James in Cleveland. The Cleveland Cavaliers showed off their fancy new stretch-forward toy on Tuesday. To no one’s surprise the spectacle was met with immeasurable fanfare and crazy-ass hype. The deal everyone had been waiting for to be officially done is finally done. Love is actually a [...]

Joel Embiid is a funny guy. Excuse me, kid. That’s what 20-year-olds are: kids. Embiid definitely has the body of a man, and he’ll be expected to conduct himself like a man, but 20-year-olds are, at their core, kids still trying to find their way. That’s what Embiid is. That’s what his Twitter account represents. [...]

Chill. Let’s all just chill. You, me, the person to your left, your right, the kid from your high school who used to play pocket billiards in the back of math class, the tighty-whitey-clad cowboy who plays acoustic guitar on the corner of busy streets and the guy behind me who smells of fetid cheese [...]

The question and answer session is a pretty fun, informative read, so hop to it you consumers of digital media (CoDs for [...]

All this time we thought Carmelo Anthony was born to score. We were wrong. He was really a point guard-hopeful trapped in the body of a forward, gifted with the offensive chops of an unabashed, inside-out, 20-plus-shots-per-night chucker. But after 11 years of shooting and scoring, more shooting and scoring, and more shooting and scoring [...]

Ever have one of those days where you wake up, look in the mirror and then, with a look of complete and utter disgust on your face, whisper to yourself, “Man, I wish I looked more like Kevin Durant?” No? Oh, OK. Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James might have. Both NBA superstars have slimmed down [...]

Perhaps y’all should wait to purchase Kevin Love Cleveland Cavaliers jerseys. Just for a second. Or forever. Love to the Cavaliers is done. It’s something we’ve been saying since LeBron James returned to Cleveland. Love is coming, Andrew Wiggins is going, the Cavaliers are a superteam. Stuff is getting real, even if it isn’t real. [...]

Less than two years from now, when Kevin Durant is a free agent and he’s spouting off party lines about money not mattering, believe him. Because money won’t matter. Or at least it shouldn’t.
