Yi Jianlian is preparing to trade jerseys with the guy behind him
The New Jersey Nets decided they didn’t want to go through today’s NBA Draft hullabaloo without contributing to the headlines. So what did they and the Milwaukee Bucks do? They agreed to swap players — allegedly (I’m adding that in case the trade […]

Apparently, 6-10 forwards who can score with both hands, rebound and play on the perimeter aren’t worth what they used to be these days. Just ask Pat Riley of the Miami Heat. Riley seems bound and determined to get a guard with Miami’s high pick. It’s fairly obvious questions about Beasley’s immaturity […]

Last month, I featured a post about LeBron James and his apparently abhorrent tipping habits. The story goes something like this, LeBron and a group of friends went to a upscale steakhouse and ran up a tab in the neighborhood of $800. According to the (whiny) report, LeBron’s resulting gratuity was slightly insulting […]

Now that’s how you close out an Eastern Conference semi-final series — two great players going back and forth; neither wanting their teams to falter and both doing whatever they can to prevent it from happening. Just like Paul Pierce and LeBron James did yesterday afternoon. Both stars shined so brightly — Pierce […]

In a game that featured King James telling his mother to sit down and be quiet (with some profanity mixed in for good measure) and a James dunk for the ages, the Cleveland Cavaliers ended the evening tied with the Celtics at two games piece.

Unfortunately for Cleveland, now they have to travel back to Boston […]

8-42, LeBron? Eight for forty-two shooting in the first two games of this series? Really? After opening the series with a blistering 2-14, King James followed that explosion up with 6-24 outing.
Could this be bad-tipping karma coming home to roost or is his (lack of) performance a combination of […]

Apparently, King James didn’t learn anything from the Roy Williams/pizza delivery incident — that, or perhaps he just doesn’t care for his subjects the way we hoped he might. According to the Cleveland Scene (via FanHouse), there are reports of The Chosen One being a really bad tipper; I mean really, REALLY bad — […]

Which is it? Of course, those that vote for the NBA’s MVP award made Kobe their winner and justifiably so. He had a another great season and his team performed much better than expected. Of course, a lot of that had to do with Gasol theft, but nevertheless, the best player on […]

I’m not sure what that was last night, but I don’t think it was playoff-level basketball we were watching. I am, of course, talking about Game One of the Celtics/Cavaliers series that got off to a whimper instead of the expected bang. Oh, the game was close but it wasn’t because great basketball […]

Because they like to stretch everything for TV scheduling purposes, there is only one NBA Playoff game tonight, but it should be a good one. Celtics/Cavs. Who ya got? King James and his fellow LeBrons or the Three-party from Beantown? Can the Celtics find a way to derail the force of […]
