LeBron James would love to stay with the Miami Heat beyond this season. Kind of, sort of. He thinks. Much ado is made over LeBron’s impending free-agent nuptials.

Highlights, Offbeat
Anything Matt Bonner says is a fact. That in itself is a fact. The Red Mamba, heralded for his three-point shooting, but worshiped for his hair color, has become something of a phenomenon. Fans love him, just because. There’s the distance shooting and fiery beard, but mostly, he’s just a likable guy. He’s also not [...]
