David Stern's dream scenario — LeBron James takes down
Kobe Bryant in the 2009
NBA Finals, becomes Jordan’s true heir — got busted when the
Orlando Magic eliminated the Cleveland Cavs last Saturday night. In order to really drive home just how nightmarish of a night that was for Stern, I’ve compiled a list.

LeBron left the elimination game without talking to the press. He landed in Cleveland Sunday, and stepped out of the airport to talk to the press, so this is technically his final interview of the season. His wardrobe contained a Yankees hat. Draw your own conclusions.

There are many in the sports media and quite a few NBA fans who are quite upset at Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star and Association MVP LeBron James at the way he handled himself after losing to the Orlando Magic Saturday. Instead of attending the post-game press conference, LBJ plopped a set of headphones on his head and after checking out okay for a pre-boarding security scan, James...

The NBA doesn't get that Kobe-LeBron Finals they wanted. That happens.
I wouldn't say that the Cavaliers choked away a golden opportunity for
their first championship since I firmly believe the Orlando Magic were
just better. If you watched these two battle during the regular season,
you would have felt the same way too.The most shocking moment
on Saturday night was...

Two weeks ago LeBron James was the “Golden Boy” of Professional Sports. Today he is being talked about as if he were “Public Enemy Number One” after being deemed a “Bad Sport” for not shaking his opponent’s hand after falling to defeat Saturday night to the Orlando Magic. So has begun LeBron Jame’s first taste of the wrath of the American Sports Fan. Actually it has...

In the midst of a relatively slow period in the sports calendar (especially for those of us who only casually follow the NBA and NHL) comes one major story: the NBA playoffs aren’t fixed. With the Tim Donaghy scandal and Bill Simmons’ endless theories on the state of the NBA’s referees and the influence of the all-powerful David Stern, most fans have come to accept a “fixed”...

Hard to believe that this babe, Heidi, turned 36. Happy Birthday.
Lakers will lose to Orlando, calling it now. Kobe pretty much carries that team and as we can see even the king(Lebron James) can’t do it. Lets go Magic.
Wonder what is going to happen in the hockey world, who is it going to be? Penguins [...]

I'm sure everyone wanted to see Cleveland Cavs versus the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron James play Kobe Bryant. The media would fawn over every play. We'd see highlight after highlight of Kobe's baskets then Lebron's shots. Thank God that didn't happen!The Finals might have easily have become a P.T. Barnum sideshow. And, frankly, the NBA deserves better. Now, you...

In sports these days, athletes rarely live up to the hype. When they do, we expect them to go yard three times quick from the on deck circle. We are hopeful of the jaw drop every single play. Everyday, like legends of NBA yesterday. Some come into the league as men, some just very talented boys who rather spend all their time buying up a bunch of unnecessary toys…killin’...

This is not how it was supposed to go. The Cavs were destined to make the Finals and face the Lakers, with LeBron turning in a fantastic Game 7 performance in front of his loyal fans at the Q to bring the city of Cleveland its first championship since 1964. With a title already under his belt, and a few more on the horizon, he would happily re-up for another four or five seasons...

After a great Playoff run to the NBA Finals, in spite of the pathetic officiating, the Orlando Magic and L.A. Lakers are on a collision course for NBA supremacy. While we wait until Thursday for the Game 1 tip-off, we've got the best rumors throughout the league, and we won't walk away without shaking your hand afterward.

As I was at NBA Nation yesterday, I couldn't help but notice their
display of NBA players' shoes. Aside from their size, I was generally
just impressed with the detail and customization that each player's
shoe exhibits. Here are a few snapshots I took:Kevin Garnett, Boston Celtics - Size 15Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers - Size 14Chauncey Billups, Denver Nuggets - Size...
