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 James Gives Season's Last Interview With Yankees Hat On, Video

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.

Sorry, I Don’t Want My Pro Player To Be A Gracious Loser!

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...

King James is a Sore Loser

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...

Why Has LeBron Gone From Beloved To Despised? HATERS!

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...

The NBA: Not as Corrupt as We Thought

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”...

The Afternoon Dump: Riots At ESPN, Stupid QB Makes No Sense, Lebron’s Crossover, Eephus Begins, Whos Your Daddy, 5 Typical Football Players, And Leah Dizon Is Multi-talented

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 [...]

Magics win is good for NBA

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...

Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard: A Difference in Stylin’

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’...

What Do The Cavs Do Now?

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...

NBA shoes, a closer look

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.
