Lebron James

Kyrie Irving has a great relationship with Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, but that’s all he’s going to say. Retaining the star point guard has become an obsession for Cleveland. That, and the media has helped bolster its important, even though it’s already incredibly important. Irving won’t become a free agent anytime soon, but he [...]

Scottie Pippen believes in Derrick Rose. The point guard’s decision to sit out all of 2012-13 wasn’t popular. Or even close to accepted. Most understood why Rose didn’t suit up for the Chicago Bulls, but many of them didn’t respect it. A majority of Rose’s biggest critics have been silenced after the floor general exploded [...]

This is starting to get weird. And quite frankly, a little embarrassing. The New York Knicks are title contenders. That’s what they’re selling us on, anyway. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Andrea Bargnani—they’re supposed to be the core of a championship hopeful. Yet talk keeps shifting to the future, like the Knicks [...]

If this Lakers’ season were a new movie, what would you call it? “Escape Plan?” Oh, wait D-12 already did that. “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2?” Or maybe “Prisoners,” to describe the Lakers fans and perhaps Bryant, himself. As the Lakers prepare to start the 2013-2014 season without veteran 5-time NBA champion and [...]

Just leave it alone, Doc. LeBron James took exception to the way Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce treated Ray Allen after he left the Boston Celtics for the Miami Heat in 2012. He thought they were hypocrites for dissing a former teammate after he left for greener pastures, before doing the same thing. And he [...]

In a very similar colorway to the ‘Big Bang’ LeBron IX from the 2011 All-Star Weekend, the ‘Forging Iron’ LeBron 11 is definitely all orange everything with the bright color seen on every notable feature like the Dynamic Flywire cables, Armorposite upper & Hyperfused mesh. All of this sits on top of a slight Walter [...]

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do not hate each other. I repeat: LeBron James and Dwyane Wade do not hate each other. Phew, that was a close one. I, like you, was worried there for a minute. The source of our anxiety was ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, who penned a solid column on how the two [...]

Mike D’Antoni has jokes. There wasn’t much to laugh about for the Los Angeles Lakers last season and after losing Dwight Howard to the Houston Rockets, that’s sort of true today. Then, you know, there’s the whole Kobe Bryant still being injured thing. Reasons to smile aren’t exactly banging Los Angeles’ door down. Still, Magic [...]

Jason Kidd is a funny man. Even when he’s serious. Asked by reporters who Andrei Kirilenko’s skill set reminded him of, Kidd said LeBron James, according to ESPN New York’s Mike Mazzeo: I mean, LeBron James. And I’m not putting AK in [LeBron’s class in terms of talent], but when you talk about guys who [...]

Kids say the darndest things. And they ask the most damning questions, too. While at a community event, Kyrie Irving was asked by one young Cleveland Cavaliers fan if he intended to abandon the team like LeBron James did in 2010 (h/t ProBasketballTalk). “Are you going to leave us like LeBron left us?” the kid [...]
