No one controls a basketball game like LeBron James. The Cleveland Cavaliers icon put together perhaps the greatest offensive performance in NBA history.

Legendary basketball powers such as scoring, passing, defense, leadership, awareness and vision—all of these and more are used to describe LeBron James.

Cleveland Cavaliers court jester — I mean — guard J.R. Smith had what is called a lapse in judgement in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors. He rebounded a miss with the game tied late in the fourth quarter and dribbled to half court, looking as if he […]

Many blamed J.R. Smith of the Cleveland Cavaliers for his mental breakdown in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant, however, praised Smith for his efforts on the boards.
