Flaming Out Spectacularly in Chicago: Heat Is On
The Big Three got it done. You can spew hate against “The Decision.” You may deride LeBron James for his exit from Cleveland or mock Chris Bosh. I won’t begrudge you that. You’re entitled to your opinions. But, I will ask a simple question. Wouldn’t you move from Cleveland to Miami, pocket a pile of […]
FMC: Chris Bosh, Miami Heat
The matchup was set a little more than a week ago. Jokes circulated throughout the blogosphere and the Twitter-verse about the battle between “2 1/2 Men” and “Derrick Rose’s Chicago Bulls.” Be it a television show, off-Broadway play or film, you could just envision the poster. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose received all […]
Panic at The Disco … Errr, Club. Miami Blown Out in San Antonio
The Heat certainly wanted to put behind Thursday’s meltdown against the Magic behind them. A trip to San Antonio and a test against the NBA’s top team would seem to the do the trick. What’s the old adage? “If you can’t get up for this game …” Forget about it. The Heat went into San […]
Uprising in Miami: Magic Overthrows a King
Evidently, the dude in the stands forgot to hold up his four fingers … and Wednesday’s memo didn’t work The Heat built a seemingly insurmountable lead in Miami on Thursday night. The only question as the third quarter began was the margin of victory. Miami led by 24 points following a James dunk when things […]
To Be The Man
Can we let it go already? I understand that people are going to keep asking the questions. I recognize their need to get a soundbyte out there and lay the verbal smackdown on “the decision.” In the past week, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and countless other NBA legends have lined up to make their sentiments […]
Bien Venidos a Miami: The Power Trio
Stephen A. Smith put it up on the board a couple weeks back. Eventually, everybody else jumped onboard and started hyping the LeBron to Miami talk. I do have to ask the base question. I posted it on Facebook and Twitter, and I reiterate it here …. Is there a better or more complete switch […]
School ‘Em: Stay Classy, Kevin Durant
I Tweeted this early on Wednesday, but now that I have a minute, I thought I’d go beyond the 140-character limit to write about Kevin Durant. It was announced in a simple statement (via Twitter) that the superstar small forward (30.1 PPG in 2009-10) had quietly agreed to a five-year extension of his contract worth […]
This Very Special Episode of LeBronCenter
Earlier this week, I saw the first reference to the LeBron James “Free Agency Summer Jam” or whatever it’s being called. Can we add a couple musical acts for this hour-long special? Maybe find someone that Elton John hasn’t played with yet, or let Ron Artest sing his “Champion” song? Seriously, it’s great PR and […]
NFL Rookie Chats: Where’s LeBron Running?
I have nothing witty to add to this one. I attended the NFL Rookie Premiere in LA a couple weeks back (a boatload of audio is forthcoming) and the folks at Upper Deck put the analyst cap on this attendees in a video montage. It’s a one-question clip with some comical responses therein. The players […]
