Leaked Chinese Footage Unearths LeBron's Coded Message To Lonzo Ball: Try Hard And Focus
Did you catch LeBron James having a cool little whispering-into-your-shirt party with Lonzo Ball after the Cavs beat the Lakers last night? The two convened shortly after the game finished. It was there, in front of a bank of cameras, that James schooled Ball on, uh, something for a few seconds. Bal...
The Cavs Are Having So Much Fun
We talk about LeBron James and his team pretty often around here, but their 123-114 win over Atlanta tonight (not as close as it appears) was yet another reminder of how the King can take your breath away. The Cavs always dominate the Hawks—they’ve hit in NBA-record 25 threes against them twice—and ...
Brett Hundley And The Packers Hand Cleveland Yet Another Loss
It looked like this was going to be the day that the 2008 0-16 Lions could finally break out the champagne. The 0-12 Cleveland Browns were up 21-7 on Green Bay at the start of the fourth quarter, in perfect position to get their first win since Christmas Eve 2016....
The "Art Modell Law" Might Be Columbus's Best Shot At Keeping The Crew
The Columbus Crew’s season is over, but the fight over where they’ll play the 2019 season is becoming increasingly heated. Despite it being a horrendous breach of trust with the city of Columbus and an affront to MLS’ bizarre, artificially deflated business model, MLS czar Don Garber is apparently c...
Browns Claim They Fulfilled Rooney Rule In One-Day GM Hiring Process
The Browns fired executive VP of football operations Sashi Brown Thursday and hired former Chiefs GM John Dorsey as his replacement, within the same day. That was quick! The speedy process also brought up the question as to whether the team complied with the Rooney Rule in its search....

Browns Fire Brown, Are Still The Browns
The Browns are less than two years removed from firing their coach, cleaning out the front office, and handing the reins over to baseball guy and analytics darling Paul DePodesta. They also hired Hue Jackson as head coach and Sashi Brown as general manager, and this was supposed to signal a new, mor...
LeBron Was Extremely LeBron Tonight
Here is a staggering stat that only makes sense when you know it’s about LeBron James: Heading into tonight, King James had fallen one rebound or one assist shy of a triple-double 34 times. (He has 57 legit triple-doubles throughout his career as well.) He was just short of that mark again tonight a...
Cleveland, Minnesota To Extend Safety Netting At Ballparks
Cleveland and Minnesota became the latest teams to say that they’ll extend the protective netting at their ballparks before next season, joining a slew of other clubs that made similar announcements after a young girl suffered bleeding on the brain from being struck by a ball at Yankee Stadium in Se...
Cleveland And Michael Martinez Continue Codependency
Exciting hot stove news: Cleveland has signed Michael Martinez to a minor-league contract. Again. This will be his sixth stint with the team. (Fittingly enough, Martinez also has six career home runs.) All those moves in one handy place for those scoring at home, as compiled by MLB.com’s Jordan Bast...
LeBron James Has Realized The Limits Of Human Empathy
Today LeBron James spoke briefly about the grim saga of Derrick Rose, whose desiccated body drifted back to Cleveland this morning. LeBron’s comment was unremarkable in Rose-related insight, which it seemed explicitly crafted to avoid. But it was amusing in its insight on the human condition. In the...
Derrick Rose Returns From Self-Exile To Play Basketball Poorly Sometimes<em></em>
Guard Derrick Rose, who abruptly left the Cavaliers back on Nov. 24 to, like, go sit on a boardwalk and watch happy couples stroll by and stare at his reflection in a rainy window while a mopey Stan Bush track plays in the background, has returned to Cleveland, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowksi...
LeBron James Is Just A Normal 33-Year-Old Guy
Just in his 15th year on the job, doing regular stuff....
Enes Kanter Celebrated LeBron James's Ejection By Getting Spicy Online<em></em>
Last night, LeBron James was ejected from a game for the first time in his 15-year NBA career. James claimed he’d reacted because James Johnson had fouled him “all the way up the court.” Referee Kane Fitzgerald explained he ejected LeBron because of a series of transgressions, including LeBron charg...
LeBron James Got Ejected For The First Time Ever And The Cavs Still Beat The Heat<em></em>
The NBA’s resident good boy LeBron James got really upset over a no-call and they just threw him right out of the game, right there. It didn’t really end up having a major impact, but it felt like a big deal at the time....

Kyle Korver's Fourth Quarter Got The Cavaliers There
Tonight’s first half between the Knicks and Cavaliers inspired a bit of feeling that the Knicks might really be here: that their young talent could gel well enough to take down a top-tier talent like Cleveland, that Frank Ntilikina could be bold enough to shove LeBron around a little, that the team ...
Come, Bask In The Glow Of A Beautiful Moment
LeBron James and Enes Kanter briefly got into it in the closing seconds of tonight’s first quarter—a scuffle that was quickly broken up and didn’t result in much, but it did give us these beautiful photos of the incident captured by Elsa of Getty Images. ...
Giannis Antetokounmpo Denied By Older, Smaller Opponent<em></em>
Giannis Antetokounmpo turned in another monstrous night against the Cavs, scoring 40 points on 16-21 shooting. But this was not one of his finer moments. The Greek Freak looked guaranteed to score when he got the ball right under the basket, with only Dwyane Wade anywhere near him....
