LeBron James doesn’t intend to feel Carmelo Anthony’s pain. The Chosen One saw Hibbert’s block on ‘Melo. He understood how impressive it was and what it meant. Everyone did. ‘Melo and his New York Knicks had the momentum. Hibbert’s block swayed that momentum back in the Indiana Pacers’ favor. It’s not a stretch to say [...]

It’s almost over, but not quite. Now that the Miami Heat have eliminated the Chicago Bulls from the NBA playoffs, the Derrick Rose chatter can stop. Criticism can cease. The “will he or won’t he” game desist. It’s finally over. Except it’s not. Chicago went down against Miami swinging. Down 22-4 early in the first [...]

They really can’t hold Rick Ross back anymore, namely Reebok when it comes to his sneaker selection, as proved by the kicks Rozay brought out while courtside at Game 2 of the Miami Heat/Chicago Bulls NBA Playoff series.
