J.R. Smith: LeBron Is "The Real MVP"
You expect guys to stump for their teammates for MVP. (Except if it’s Kevin Love being asked.) But J.R. Smith went above and beyond with his praise for LeBron James, declaring his Cavs teammates “the real MVP,” and positing that James should probably win the award every season. ...
Kendrick Perkins, With The Classic Nine-Step Move
NBA truthers, this is your moment. Kendrick Perkins’s shuffle is your chance to say “He traveled,” and not be seen as a joyless penis. No one will hate you. Well, they probably still will, but not to the usual degree. ...
Joakim Noah Will Always Be There To Shit-Talk LeBron James
One of the most endearing things about Joakim Noah is his continued insistence on just not having it with LeBron James and whatever team James happens to be on. There was the time he called out James for his dancing in the middle of a game, the time he called the Heat “Hollywood as hell,” and there...
David Blatt Just Stands There Like A Buster And Parrots LeBron's Calls
ESPN NBA writer Brian Windhorst, who is as connected to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers as any reporter can be, was a guest on Bill Simmons's latest podcast, and he dropped some juicy stuff about the various melodramas that have been hanging over the team all season. The whole thing is wo...
Mr. Whammy Says LeBron Complained To NBA Security About Him
Mr. Whammy (real name: Bruce Reznick) is a 79-year-old Nets superfan who has had season tickets for nearly two decades. When opposing players take free throws he walks down from his seats to right below the basket and follows a very specific yelling and waving routine to try and make them miss. He...
Timofey Mozgov Is A Heavy Hitter In The Local Commercial Circuit
Yesterday, we learned that Timofey Mozgov starred in a fantastic local commercial in which he wore a backwards jersey and repeatedly looked off-camera, but now we know that's not his only spot. Here's another one with him talking to his "favorite day-time bartender." Timofey Mozgov has a favorit...
Timofey Mozgov's Local Commercial Is An All-Time Great
We are unabashed fans of awkward local commercials starring athletes, and this new piece of work starring Timofey Mozgov in a backwards jersey is an instant classic. Give the inspired wardrobe choice the respect it deserves, but don't let it distract you from those pained glances away from the cam...
Kevin Love Says His Relationship With LeBron Is Fine. It's Fine.
Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love was a guest on Mike & Mike this morning, and he was of course asked to describe his relationship with teammate and sub-tweeter LeBron James. According to Love, their relationship is fine. It's fine....
Kyrie Irving Made Timofey Mozgov's Job Very Easy
Cavs center Timofey Mozgov scored 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting while playing just 17 minutes in last night's rout of the Nets. That's an efficient-ass game! He's got Kyrie Irving, who set up five of those seven made buckets with some beautiful passing, to thank for it....
Attention: Stop Taking Photos In The Locker Room Of Half-Naked LeBron
Common courtesy dictates that you don't take photographs of half-naked strangers without their permission. Also, when you get caught doing so by said strangers, you should fess up instead of lying. This advice might seem obvious, but not so to three unnamed members of the basketball media. ...
Kyrie Irving Unleashes All Hell In The Perfect Meaningless Game
San Antonio isn't usually a place for mid-March NBA thrills. Oh, the latter-day Spurs remain perfectly capable of playing the sort of gyroscoping, pinball-passing game pretty enough to goose Red Auerbach's carcass from 6 to 12, but it's very a long season and a very old team and while you can usuall...
Kyrie Irving Hits Buzzer-Beating Three To Force Overtime
Down six with just over 30 seconds remaining, it looked like the Cavs were certain to take the L tonight in San Antonio. That's before Kyrie Irving hit a pair of three-pointers—one at the buzzer—to force overtime....

I don't watch Empire. But come on. Look at this:...
Point: Iman Shumpert Says <i>Empire</i> Is Plagiarizing His Life; He's Wrong
Empire is the story of Empire Records, a mega-successful record conglomerate headed by heavy-handed CEO Lucious Lyons (played by Terrence Howard). Lucious has three sons: Andre, Jamal, and Hakeem. Hakeem is a rapper who dates a babyfaced singer named Tiana. Cleveland Cavaliers guard and sometime rap...
When Was The Last Time LeBron Started A Game Not Wearing A Headband?
Look at that, a pretty standard picture of LeBron James driving to the hoop in the Cavaliers win over the Mavericks last night. But wait a second, where is the man's ever-present headband?...
James Harden Suspended One Game For Kicking LeBron James
The NBA just announced that James Harden will miss one game and one game check for a kick to the inner thigh of LeBron James during last night's Rockets OT win over the Cavs. He'll miss Houston's game against the Hawks tomorrow....
Kendrick Perkins Had A Very Kendrick Perkins Game
LeBron James was amazing, but I would like to draw your attention to another remarkable performance from last night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors: That of Kendrick Perkins, a rusty tugboat that washed up onto a basketball court during a hurricane....
LeBron James And The Scary Cavaliers Put A Beatdown On The Warriors
The Cavaliers played the Warriors tonight in what was billed as a potential Finals preview. If that is indeed what it was, the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the NBA Finals 4-0....
What Exactly Did Yahoo Publish That Got Dan Gilbert So Angry?
On Thursday, we reported that Quicken Loans and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, and his lawyer, called Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer last year to complain about a line in a blog post authored by Kelly Dwyer. This happened the day after Yahoo and Quicken Loans signed a major brand agreement. May...
Dan Gilbert Didn't Like A Yahoo Blog Post, So Yahoo Deleted It
Quicken Loans is a predatory lender. It's impossible to read the numerous lawsuits against the mortgage company and conclude otherwise. So when Kelly Dwyer, the editor of Yahoo's popular NBA blog Ball Don't Lie, made an offhand joke about that fact in a post last year, he would have had no reason ...
