Lil Wayne Says He Was Kicked Out Of The Lakers-Heat Game, Possibly For Threatening Another Fan
Maybe Lil Wayne should just stop going to live sporting events. First, there was that whole kerfuffle about him not being able to attend a Thunder game, which brought accusations of racism.

LeBron James is currently in the midst of one of the greatest hot streaks in NBA history.

LeBron James, who is leading the league in PER, plays in a league of two with Kevin Durant when it comes to estimated wins added, and is shooting 56% from the floor, took some time out from walloping the Clippers last night (without Ray Allen or Chris Bosh) to play catch with a fan....

Chris Bosh Continues To Be An Excellent Photobomber (White House Edition)

Stop Everything: Here's Chris Andersen And Mike Miller Performing "Ice Ice Baby"
Hot Hot Hoops took in Shane Battier's annual charity event in Miami Beach last night, and, I don't know, I guess some money was raised for a good cause or whatever.

Lance Armstrong Street Art Is Simple, Accurate
This stencil of an IV-aided Lance Armstrong popped up in Los Angeles over the weekend.

This Airballed Free Throw Is Why The Lakers Are Vulnerable To Hack-A-Dwight
Dwight Howard went to the line 13 times last night, more than twice as often as the rest of the Lakers' starters combined.

Dwyane Wade Kicked Ramon Sessions In The Nuts
It's easy to still think of Dwyane Wade as the reckless, wide-eyed young star who led Miami to the 2006 title. But he's almost 31 now, a wily veteran with a bag of tricks—like straight kicking an opponent in the groin and playing it off like an accident....

LeBron James Has Committed Two Fouls In His Last 299 Minutes Of Court Time
