In grabbing 29 rebounds against the Miami Heat, Nikola Vucevic broke an Orlando Magic franchise record previously held by none other than Shaquille O’Neal. With all due respect to Vucevic (who happens to be a fine young player averaging a double-double on the season), Chris Bosh should probably be ashamed of himself. The Heat did manage to beat the Magic in overtime (112-110), snapping a two-game losing streak, but the victory can essentially be credited to LeBron James, who scored 17 of his game-high 36 in the final 17 minutes. Meanwhile, Bosh, who did a lot of yapping this offseason about toughening up to play the five, ripped a whopping FOUR boards in 38 minutes and 19 seconds of playing time. To be fair, Bosh did hit the jumper that sent the game to OT, but still… HE ALLOWED NIKOLA VUCEVIC TO BREAK SHAQUILLE F@CKING O’NEAL’S REBOUNDING RECORD!
Did I mention that Vucevic also had 20 points, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks? No? Well he did. If he happens to be on your fan...

LeBron James Walking the Dog All Day Long Against the Magic (Video)

January 02, 2013
The process of letting the ball roll down the court without touching it in order to save time is called Walking the Dog. I honestly can say I've never heard that term used before. Apparently LeBron James loves walking the dog though. He did it Monday for 10+ seconds against the Orlando Magic, which has to be a record if something as dumb as that was actually considered...

Allen says trade from Bucks motivated him
MILWAUKEE -- Ray Allen sat in a very familiar location at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Saturday night.
No, that's no longer the home locker room. It's been far too long since he left. Instead, Allen has grown accustomed to the spot in front of a locker in the visitor's dressing room, where he set up shop prior to his first NBA team's game against his latest one...

ORLANDO, Fla. -- LeBron James ended a very good year on a very good note Monday. Capping off a 2012 in which he won his first NBA title, an Olympic gold medal and the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year award, James willed the Miami Heat to a 112-110 overtime victory over the Orlando Magic on New Year's Eve, scoring 10 of the Heat's 13 overtime points. James finished...
