Last night in Indiana when the Pacers tied the NBA Eastern Conference Finals series against the Miami Heat 2-2 at home, both LeBron James and Dwyane Wade brought awareness to the Live Like Bella campaign by writing #LiveLikeBella in silver on the lateral (outside part) of black versions of their signature Nike LeBron X Elite [...]
The Indiana Pacers aren’t scared by the Miami Heat. If you’re surprised by Indiana’s fearlessness, you’re clearly not familiar with Frank Vogel. He has a knack for instilling confidence in his players. It’s a grossly underrated quality of his outside of Indiana. In the Eastern Conference Finals, however, the entire country is finally getting a [...]
Chris Bosh isn’t bored. After a decade in the NBA, one can only imagine how mundane being a superstar is (yeah, right). Luckily for us, 10 years into his career, Bosh doesn’t find what he does dull or unintelligible. It’s “never boring.” His secret? Playing center. Bosh says having to deal with bigger centers “keeps [...]

Asked Kevin Durant what he’s learned about himself in the absence of Russell [...]
Carmelo Anthony isn’t going to lose sleep over LeBron James not unanimously being voted the NBA’s MVP. Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe has been receiving plenty of criticism for choosing ‘Melo over LeBron as the league’s most valuable player, and Anthony, for the life of him, can’t seem to figure out why (via Matt [...]

Stephen A. Smith is at it again. Speaking on ESPN’s First Take, Smith spoke of a potential blockbuster that could eventually go down between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Clippers. And I’m not even sure “blockbuster” does it justice. The deal in question would have both Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett being sent to [...]
