LeBron James: World Champion Cocksucker
I know that last night was supposed to be LeBron James's face turn and that, while he warmly celebrates his first title with teammates and family, I'm supposed to see LeBron in a whole new light. Maybe he's not such a bad guy. Maybe this playoff run has brought out a depth of character heretofore un...
LeBron James Wins First Of Not Two, Not Three, Not Four, Not Five, Not Six, Not Seven NBA Titles
The final score of 121-106 will be forever misleading to history, but there was a point in Game 5 of these NBA Finals where it didn't seem so impossible that the Thunder might mount some significant comeback, forcing the series back to Oklahoma City for what was certain to be a dramatic and tense ...
Take A Profane Trip Through History With The Dirty Mouths Of LeBron James And Dwyane Wade
Last night's NBA Finals Game Four was tremendous, though its result—and the 3-1 series lead seized by Miami—may throw a bit of a wet blanket on the entertainment value going forward. Yet all anyone seems to want to discuss (if your emails to our tip line are to be believed) are the moments when a...

The Thunder-Heat Series Isn't About The Noise; It's About The Beauty
Before turning on the television to watch Game 3 of the NBA Finals last night, I made the mistake of going to ESPN.com to read about the game, and then I compounded that mistake by clicking on this link, which led me to a video clip of Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless screaming about how terrible ...
Yes, LeBron James Fouled Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant's shot with 10 seconds left to tie last night's NBA Finals Game 2 didn't drop, and now the series is tied 1-1. Arguing over whether a foul should have been called on LeBron James is silly; Durant just as easily could have been called for a charge moments before, and there's no guaran...
What Dwyane Wade And LeBron James Can Learn From Kevin Durant And Russell Westbrook After Game 1
The Miami Heat began the third quarter of Game 1 of the NBA finals leading by seven points. The Heat had played brilliantly throughout the first half, executing crisp passes that criscrossed the floor and left the Thunder unable to close out on wide open three-point shooters.

Thunder Take Game 1, Send Pat Riley Into His Own Personal Hell

Kevin Durant chipp...
LeBron James Is Finally Good At Basketball
Now that LeBron has finally won a game people think is important, maybe we can talk about how good the guy has been. We've talked some in these parts about Rajon Rondo and his Fuck You brand of basketball. LeBron James, with that one three point shot late in the game and follow through pose, ushere...
Here Are All Of LeBron's Unspectacular 45 Points
Watching a supercut of LeBron James's scores in last night's parquet floorwiping of the Celtics, you're struck at how rote it seems. A cold, clinical series of possessions that resembled nothing so much as a practice drill that just happened to have five green-and-white clad obstacles on the court...
LeBron James Destroyed The Celtics To Force A Game 7 (And Got A Beer Dumped On Him)
Oh, this wasn't how it was supposed to be? LeBron James wasn't theoretically capable of delivering a devastatingly effective performance in Game 6 at the TD Garden? Fuck all that. James finished with 45 points, 15, rebounds, and five assists, and the Heat won by 19 points. (The last player with such...

LeBron's Choice Of Pre-Game Reading Material? <em>The Hunger Games</em>
ABC showed a brief clip of LeBron James in the locker room before today's Heat-Pacers Game Four in Indianapolis, and surprise of surprises, he was reading Suzanne Collins's young adult novel The Hunger Games. We won't shame anybody for their choice of reading material—indeed, we'd love for more ro...
LeBron James Cattily Responds To Lance Stephenson's Choke Gesture
Here's an example of that silly 24-hour news cycle we were chatting about earlier.
