Heat President Pat Riley Might Be The Worst Karaoke Singer We've Ever Seen
At Tuesday night's "Battioke" charity event in South Beach, Pat Riley had sunshine on his cloudy day, or something. Sure, it's less than 30 seconds and maybe it's not quite Wade Boggs-bad, but his rhythm clearly needs some work. Also, a tad pitchy....
In Which LeBron James Dons A Rick James Wig While Singing "Super Freak"
At least that's what Heat owner Micky Arison would have you believe. Whatever LBJ is doing here, it's in the name of charity, as teammate Shane Battier's annual Battioke extravaganza was held tonight in South Beach. Also slated to perform were such legendary musical acts as former Knicks head coach ...
LeBron Dislocates Ring Finger
James injured his left ring finger during last night's loss to Indiana. The team isn't talking, but one report says it could be dislocated. This is your cue to make bad jokes. [ESPN]...
Dwyane Wade Hit A 65-Foot Buzzer-Beater
The Heat helped narrow what had been a sizable deficit in their battle with the Thunder in Oklahoma City thanks to this 3/4-court bomb to end the third quarter by Dwyane Wade. Mike Tirico was still only mildly impressed. [ESPN]...

Can LeBron James Do Anything Right?
Following the Miami Heat loss to the Utah Jazz, a loss in which LeBron scored 17 in the fourth quarter but passed on the final possession, the argument goes like this: "It was the right 'basketball' play, but I would like to see LeBron take that shot." Or, as ESPN's resident basketball-as-played in...
The Heat Didn't Contain Jeremy Lin; They Smothered Him
Jeremy Lin had his first game that you can't spin as something other than outright terrible, and everyone wants to know how it's done. Sebastian Pruiti took a hell of a look at the possibilities for guarding Lin, and nailed it: the double-team off Lin's favored pick-and-roll. The Mavericks ran the e...
"Shitballs": Curling Profanity Is Strange
You can throw out the record books when the Alberta and Quebec women's curling teams get together. It got pretty heated yesterday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts (Canada's women's championship), when Alberta skip Heather Nedohin let loose a creative swear word after coming up short on her sho...
LeBron James Says He's Open To Playing Again In Cleveland, Maybe
I admit it: I was skeptical when sources passed along something like this a couple of weeks back to a reporter from Cleveland.

A Bicycle-Mounted LeBron James Photobombed The Miami Marathon
With traffic a mess as the Miami marathon wrapped up prior to tip-off against the Bulls, LeBron ditched the car and rode his bike to work.
