The Heat Win Their 16th Straight, But Not Without Getting Every Single Break
The Heat got lucky. They got all the rolls, all the whistles, and the winner, a LeBron James layup with three seconds left, came off a timeout that was never called.

LeBron Considering Magic Johnson's $1 Million To Compete In The Dunk Contest
LeBron's been on a highly-publicized tear recently, where he's completed insane dunk after insane dunk in the layup line while dressed in full sweats to prove to everyone, we guess, that even though he's not going to compete in the dunk contest, he would win if he tried.

If you are an optimist who dreams of a better, more just world, then surely you have envisioned a world in which LeBron James participates in the NBA's annual Slam Dunk Contest. What would he do?

LeBron James Misses Wide-Open Dunk, Is Still Basically Infallible
LeBron James was stupid good again last night. He played 34 minutes in a blowout win against the Bulls, scoring 26 points on 11-15 shooting while adding 12 rebounds and seven assists.

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....
