Lebron James

LeBron James joined Carmelo Anthony in the free-agent ranks Tuesday, officially opting out of his contract with the Miami Heat, and the whole world went bonkers. And the Los Angeles Lakers started drooling. We all know they have cap space. How could we forget? This has been years in the making. This is the summer [...]

Time to whale on that panic button, Miami. Just kidding. Miami Heat fans have nothing to worry about. Yet. LeBron James is a still a member of the Heat. For now. According to ESPN.com’s Brian Windhorst (h/t Eye On Basketball), chances are LeBron will opt out of his current contract with the Heat and become [...]

Passive. Shy. Polite. Quiet. All of those words could have been used to describe NBA draft prospect and Kansas Jayhawks alum Andrew Wiggins a few weeks ago.

When Nike introduced the ‘South Beach’ sneaker colorway into the signature sneaker series for LeBron James with the ‘Pre-Heat’ LeBron 8, I don’t think King James or the Swoosh had any (real) idea of how much waves this color combination would cause. The ‘South Beach’ colorway is arguably the most popular debuted on a LeBron [...]

LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony are many things to one another. They are opponents. They are friends. They are members of the All-Star brat pack. Could they also be future teammates? LeBron apparently hopes so. Writing on the deliberateness behind the Los Angeles Lakers’ long, infecund coaching search, USA Today‘s Sam Amick, dropped this gem: [...]
