Lebron_james_tour_47e1
LeBron James hopped up and down on the sideline with a giant, child’s grin minutes before the Miami Heat defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games to secure the 2012 NBA championship. It appeared as if about three Shaq’s and a Rosie O’Donnell had been lifted off the 27-year-old’s shoulders; it’s no secret that [...]

  • Michael Jordans legacy was not "threatened" by Kobe bryant; Kobe's legacy will not be "threathened" by LeBron James. All that is happening is a changing of the guard; Kobe is in his twilight and LeBron is in his ascendancy; this is the natural order of things. One generation sets the standards for the next generation to come. No one can wipe out or "threaten" what Kobe has done, what Magic did, what Larry Byrd did of many others accomplished; each star shined in their time but eventually time marches on for every one.
  • not particularly a fan of either one... but no.. no way, no how is kobe's legacy threatened.. not since m.j. have i seen the likes of the "killer instict" of kobe's...lebron just doesn't have it.
  • Killer instinct? What like shooting 5/24 in game 7 of the last Celts/Lakers finals game? If Kobe is not surrounded by some of the best bigs in the game then he has no rings. What happened when Shaq left and before the Gasol (somehow uninvestigated) trade. Lakers either couldn't make the playoffs or battled for the 8 spot. Overrated

    Neither player is anywhere near Jordan's level. Both good players (lebron and kobe) but both overrated

This Is What Lebron James Looked Like Watching The Cowboys Defeat The Giants

Right before the 2012 NFL season kicked off with the Dallas Cowboys beating the New York Giants 24-17, Lebron James posted a picture on Instagram of himself wearing a Jason Witten Dallas Cowboys jersey.  James has been a long time fan of the Cowboys and we can respect the Witten support (at least its not a Tony Romo jersey), I just have one question.  Did he pose for this picture...
