I should be a detective. Or maybe I can take Chris Broussard’s job, and don’t worry, I won’t be beginning every sentence with ‘according to my sources’. If you follow the site, yesterday I drew in evidence that led me to believe Kevin Durant too would be involved in Carmelo Anthony’s organised exhibition game in Baltimore which also featured NBA All Stars LeBron James and Chris Paul. I was right. The game seemed to be a huge success and the crowd was absolutely buzzing. It was an almost NBA-esque noise level as almost four thousand packed the Hill Field House [...]

Carmelo Anthony is hosting an exhibition game in his native Baltimore tonight and LeBron James and Chris Paul are two star’s that have confirmed they will be a part. Earlier today James tweeted: “If u LOVE basketball, Baltimore is the place to be tonight. #basketballneverstops“. There have been no other confirmations of NBA players making an appearance, but Kevin Durant replied to LeBron’s tweet a few moments later saying: “Worddd” I agree this really is nothing news, but it’s the lockout and this is what you have to get used to hearing. Nonetheless it may be a surprise appearance from a [...]

Carmelo Anthony, who was born and raised in the mean streets of Baltimore, reached out to one of his best friends and fiercest rivals LeBron James to participate in an exhibition game he was helping to organise in Baltimore. There have been many instances of such an act by an NBA player so far this offseason as they look to fill the void left by the lockout. “I’m in.” That was the reply Carmelo Anthony got from James, who joins Chris Paul in a growing list of NBA elite who will participate. It is believed James, Anthony and Paul will [...]

Dwyane Wade discussed his tandem with his good friend LeBron James and how he felt it was a successful portion of the Heat’s ‘failed’ season. There has been high scrutiny surrounding the two, especially their inability to play together and the constant need to define a ‘batman’ and a ‘robin’. Wade broke it down a little more simply. “We figured it out. I think we did a very good job. It didn’t hurt. LeBron was still third in the league in scoring. I was still like fifth in the league in scoring. It really didn’t change much of our ability [...]

No not really, just the way he carries on about jumping off a diving board would have you believing he is doing one of the aforementioned activities. If you follow this site, LeBron James or Spanish tourism you would know The King is currently doing Nike work in the European country. A few days ago he met Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Xavi and the rest of the Spanish and European Champion Barcelona FC (soccer). I have no idea why he is diving off a high board, nor is it really necessary to know. The video goes for about 3 minutes [...]

Nate Burleson caused a slight stir in the Lions vs Browns pre season game the other night. After making a truly spectacular TD grab from Stafford (great/strange to see him healthy) Burleson seemingly wanted to rub it into the crowd as much as he could. “It was a LeBron thing. I wasn’t going to do it. See, I had a plan. I had two celebrations planned. I was going to catch the ball, get up, do the shot by Jordan and the three pumps. I’ve got it all down. I’ve seen it like a million times. “But then when I got [...]

If we had any previous doubts about LeBron James joining Kobe Bryant in Team USA to defend their Gold Medal at next year’s London Olympic Games, those are now quashed. “I’m committed. I can’t wait for it, to have an opportunity to go to London and defend our Gold Medal from Beijing. It’s going to be great. I’ve always loved the Olympics just to be around the athletes from all over the world. Not only in my country but to see all of the athletes, it’s so fun. I have a great deal respect for all other athletes that are [...]

LeBron James is currently on his world tour promoting basketball with Nike and did an interview at an event in Spain yesterday. Of course the hot topic was the NBA Finals and how LeBron dealt with yet another set back in his career that has seen him achieve everything, except the most important credential. “It was the worst week I ever had. I hate losing.” James admitted he did “nothing” over that particular period as he was too distraught to even contemplate moving on. Surely he is getting used to the feeling, we as LeBron James fans certainly are. James [...]

In a surreal moment for sports fans around the world, yesterday LeBron James was in Spain and attended a Barcelona FC training where he came face to face with Lionel Messi. LeBron James is widely considered as the best basketball player in the world and Lionel Messi (although I disagree) is widely considered as the best football (yes it’s called football not soccer) player in the world, so it was a pretty awesome sight to see the two standing next to each other. It was somewhat comical as Messi comes in at 5’7 and weighs around 150lbs whereas LeBron James [...]

Under Armour are attempting to make their name in the world of basketball merchandising, and have chosen to do so by targeting the game’s best in a series of cheap shots and unaspiring low blows. The faces of the new campaign are Brandon Jennings and Kemba Walker, clearly targeting the youth by employing hip, young point guards. Good luck with that. Nonetheless they have at least gotten my attention, albeit out of sympathy rather than respect, but I’ll let you make up your own minds. Here is the new campaign from Under Armour. Listen carefully and try to pick up [...]
