While LeBron James is in the eyes of many, the greatest player to grace an NBA basketball court, to tenured veterans like Paul Pierce, he’s still has a lot more to do to be mentioned in the same breath as Michael Jordan.

The Chicago Bulls will have a busy summer trying to tie up the loose ends for their 2017-18 season roster. One of the main question marks for them at the moment is their starting guard Dwyane Wade, who holds a $23.8 million player option for next season. This year was sort of a disaster with […]

LeBron James‘ string of dominant performances in the 2017 playoffs had many NBA fans arguing that the superstar forward is closing in on Michael Jordan as the consensus GOAT.

Since entering the NBA back in 2003, LeBron James has been one of the best in-game dunkers in the league and often gets fans on their feet whenever he’s on a fastbreak. That was the case with 4:18 left in the third quarter of Game 4 between his Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics on […]

With 8:47 left in the fourth quarter of Game 4 in the Eastern Conference Finals, LeBron James made a move that left the fans inside Quicken Loans Arena in awe, and reminded them of a similar play Michael Jordan did back in the 1990s.

After being swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers in their second round playoff series on Sunday, DeMar DeRozan was understandably not in the best of moods.

The guys at NBA 2K clearly believe there’s a bright future for […]

LeBron James was caught napping on defense and Paul George was the beneficiary of a Lance Stephenson lob from an out of bounds play. Naturally, the Cleveland Cavaliers star showed his leadership by yelling at Tristan Thompson after the play for not covering up the defensive assignment he missed. https://twitter.com/Yahoun5/status/855211171112263683 James was also outplayed at the offensive […]

Harkening back to the days when the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers were battling it out in the Eastern Conference Finals for two straight years, LeBron James and Lance Stephenson have a bit of history.

Essentially in every game that he plays in, LeBron James will show off his amazing athleticism with a highlight reel dunk or another impressive offensive play.

During the Miami Heat‘s “Big Three” era of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, the team went on to make four straight finals appearances. In their first two trips together, the Chicago Bulls were one of their victims as they eliminated them in back-to-back seasons, despite being led by a peak-form Derrick Rose. Now with the […]

With not many interesting high seed vs. low seed matchups in the first round, the history between Lance Stephenson and LeBron James should make the 2-vs-7 matchup between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers a rather interesting one to see.

The Cleveland Cavaliers had yet another debacle of a game against a short-manned Atlanta Hawks squad, this time giving up a 26-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, ultimately losing 126-125 in overtime.
