Yesterday I wrote about how Michael Phelps is not a better athlete than Lebron James after he was voted as so on ESPN. And while that voting seemed ridiculous, NBC likes to take it one step further and continuously describing Phelps as the American greatest athlete of all time. Can we please not get carried away and say things that are wee bit ridiculous. First of all if it wasn...

For a long time now, LeBron James has tried to stay out of the spotlight when it comes to politics. Although James has been shining bright in the media ever since entering the league, he has been rather dull when it comes to his affiliations with politics and other support groups (much like Tiger Woods has been). James and other celebrities are afraid that they will lose fans and...

They're supposed to be the bar-none definitive preview, relatively error-free and more penetrating than your generic "X starters return" item. But I sunk two months into the new site this summer instead of, like, anything...

During last season's Cavaliers run in the post-season, we were big advocates of Damon Jones. The late-season emergence of Devin Brown coupled with the addition of Wally Szczerbiak didn't bode well for the Handsome One's playing time, but that did not stop us from grass root efforts...
