When LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers’, or Daniel Gibson as it would be, decided to part ways two years ago, it was far from amicable. Both sides refused to take the higher ground and a vicious twitter war ensued, where they both said things that I am sure they now regret. However, this move immediately left Cleveland at the bottom of the league, ultimately giving them the first overall selection in this past year’s draft. The team grabbed former Duke point guard Kyrie Irving to be the new leader of the offense, as he has quickly transitioned to the NBA style of play.
Irving has started every game from day one and has showed improvement with each passing day.

As much as Sir Charles typically annoys me, I have to admit this particular bit had me laughing.
Poor LeBron. Yeah, I said it. It...

Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving has been carving up opposing big men as if he arrives to Quicken Loans Arena along side a giant blue ox.
A spin-move off of Al Jefferson, a cross-over of Marcin Gortat and a high-pick split of the Boston Celtics defense which featured a 6-foot-8-inch Brandon Bass are moves that headline the first chapter of the first-overall pick’s career...

News flash: LeBron James is balding.

(Don't miss Ernie Johnson's "oh ****, do I look like that too?" look at the 20-second mark.)

The NBA Draft has long been overrated for its ability to change franchises with a simple selection. It is very rare nowadays that a top selection can project that team into a championship contender within the first few years (the few that come to mind, Kevin Durant, Lebron James, Tim Duncan). In any draft, holding [...]
