IT'S BACK! IT'S BACK! THE NBA IS BACK! Well kinda sorta. Training camps are starting up right about now and Pre-Season games start next week. I'm here to tell you what you should be looking for this Pre-Season/Training Camp in your team and players and if you should bother watching it in the first place. Always remember though you can't gather
The coronation of the King is complete. LeBron James is an NBA Champion, an NBA Finals MVP, and above all, he has become the leader we all expected him to be. Yet, I'm sure there are still those who will question his greatness. Never has there been a more scrutinized player. But, why? It is one thing to dislike a player as a fan. It is,
I could try to capture the climate of the NBA Finals in words, or paint a picture of what has been a truly exciting and thrilling start to those Finals...but, there is something much more important that I feel the need to share with you. Earlier this week a beautiful musical tribute was paid to the most talked about athlete on the planet, LeBron

The stage has been set. The actors have all been in place. Story lines written with a flare for the dramatic. We all know about LeBron vs. Durant. We know about the Big 3!...both of them. Some say they cancel each other out. I disagree. They are different in so many ways, that I don't exactly see them having that sort of effect on each

If you missed the young Miami Heat fan shouting "Good job, good effort" at the Heat players as they exited the court after a game five loss to the Celtics, it's a must watch that can be found below.
Skreened.com has the shirt with the condescending slogan. This might be a must buy for Celtics fans if they can close out the series.

What did they do to me? “They” being the Miami Heat; the LeBron James/DWade…sometimes Chris Bosh, Miami Heat. What did they do to me? That’s a fair question. But this goes beyond LeBron and his ridiculous claims of winning “not 2, not 3, not”…ahhh, you know the rest. Beyond DWade’s declaration that they were
The game was far from beautiful. It featured atrocious shooting from both Boston and Philadelphia. No one player stood out as the heroic savior of a game seven...until Paul Pierce (on a questionable charging call) fouled out with just over four minutes left in the game. It was at that point, that a savior stood up in Boston. It was at

It was the choke seen 'round the world. Seen by everyone except the one man it was aimed at, LeBron James. And who was the one that fired off that shot? Some guy named Lance Stephenson. Who is that you might ask? Well, he's just some guy. Some guy that plays on the Pacers...well, is on the roster. Lance Stephenson has averaged 2.0

Knicks
The Knicks finished the season going 18-6 after parting ways with D'Antoni. Carmelo caught fire in April, scoring just under 30 per (29.8), and shooting 46% from the field and behind the arc. The Knicks were 6-3 during that stretch. They beat Orlando, Atlanta, Boston, and the number 1 seed Chicago Bulls. Iman Shumpert looked like a
Thursday of last week, prior to game 1 of the Heat vs Pacers series, Pacer coach Frank Vogel said of the Heat, that they were "...the biggest flopping team in the league". He elaborated further by saying, "Oftentimes, they're falling down even before contact is even being made." While those statements may be founded in a certain amount of
