Lebron Is Still King

This week, the biggest free agency signing in the history of sports happened with Lebron James. As most major athletes do when they sign with a team, he held a press conference to announce his signing. The media and fans were so interested that a simple press conference became a media circus and a hour long prime time event. When he announced his decision to sign with Miami, people were for some reason outraged. I heard several "causal fans" saying "is it really necessary for him to have a press conference?" "He has an ego." and the negative comments go on and on. Why? Because Lebron James is the best pure athlete in the history of the NBA. His size, ability, and power can not be matched with any previous NBA greats. Chicago, New York, Cleveland, New Jersey, and Miami put 'all their eggs in one basket', hoping to sign The King. Once he announced his decision, the teams, fans, and coach's left without King James reacted as if it was elimination round on Flavor of Love. Screaming, yelling, burning of clothes that remind you of your "ex", and of course tarnishing Lebron's name. Saying "they are better off without him." Cleveland, your acting like the crazy Ex-boyfriend that's surprised when your girlfriend (Lebron) breaks up with you after you spend up all the money around him (cap space) and leave him with no ring (NBA championship) and an aging overpriced dvd collection (Shaq, Jamision and every other sign they have made in the last 7 years.) It's over Cleveland, it's over.

On to the most unprofessional thing I have seen in sports in a long time (including Roberto Alomar spitting in an umpire's face)

had to be Dan Gilbert's "Letter to Fans". This an NBA OWNER, and he said some of the most childish and stupid things I have ever heard anyone say about an athlete who has literally done nothing wrong in his NBA career. Saying Lebron "betrayed you" (Cleveland), calling him "Cowardly", Narcissistic", and finally claiming ""I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE".

LEBRON brought hope to the city of Cleveland after Cleveland had been a terrible sports town for decades. LEBRON doubled the Cleveland Cavaliers worth in 7 years. Made the Cavs one of the most televised teams and their apparel some of the best sold. Previous to Lebron, the best ball player Cleveland could ever get was Mark Price. And I don't remember anyone burning Mark Price jerseys or calling him a "coward" for signing with the Washington Bullets. And then Cleveland RETIRED Mark Price's number.

You think they will retire Lebron's number? Of course not. Instead of speaking about what Lebron has taken from you, Cleveland, maybe you should be thankful for what he gave you. He made you a top NBA team, a marketable team, and took you to the finals. Help make a struggling a city, a place of hope. Lebron did his part in this relationship, averaging nearly 30 points a game, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists in his time in Cleveland. Cleveland surrounded him with past their prime overpriced veterans, and a point guard that couldn't shoot his way out of a paper bag in the playoffs. Everyone knows in a relationship, it takes two. This relationship was ruined by Cleveland's poor choices of a support cast, not because of their lack of trying. And now Lebron has found a new team with young players his age and a management system that is making the correct moves to win a championship.

I have heard some people saying that going to Miami is Lebron "giving up his legacy, to win a championship." What? All Lebron haters talked about before, was how he could not win a title, now that he puts himself in the best situation to win a title, his legacy gets criticized? What do Kobe, Jordan, Bird, and Magic all have in common? They couldn't win a title on their own. Jordan needed Pippen, Magic needed Worthy, and Kobe needed Shaq and Gasol. The NBA is too tough to win on your own, and Lebron realizes this. So respect his decision. He was a free agent who signed with the best team he could. We criticize athletes constantly for signing with teams only for money, but when Lebron signs for less money to give himself the best chance at a ring, he becomes the biggest villain in sports? I'll never get the people that feel this way. I'll continue to cheer for Lebron and we will see who is laughing next June when he averages a triple double and wins a ring with the Heat.

Yo Momma!

The media has been going crazy with "what happened to the Cavs talk?".

"Was it Lebron's elbow?"

"Did Lebron have his eye on playing for another team?"'

"Could Mike Brown have done a worse job coaching?"

"Did Danny Ferry surround Lebron with all the wrong players?"

"DID DELONTE WEST HAVE SEX WITH LEBRON'S MOM???"

Wait... what?

It's nothing official yet, but there is a rumor going around that Delonte West was having an affair with Lebron's mom. Apparently the news came out around game 4 against the Celtics.

This explains a lot. I'd have 9 turnovers too, if my mom had sex with the ugliest guy on the Cavaliers.

This isn't the first time Lebron's mom has stuck her finger where it doesn't belong. In 2008, you might remember her giving Paul Pierce 'a stern talking to' and a shake of her finger after Pierce commited a hard foul on Lebron.

The situation ended harmless, with Pierce saying "My mom probably would've done the same thing."

But here is what Paul Pierce's mom did not do; have sex with any of his teammates.

So if the city of Cleveland thought Lebron was gone before, think again. Because he is most definitely not playing on a team where he has to play all the defense, go 1 on 5 on offense, and have the ugliest guy on his team have sex with his mom. Enough is enough. And I understand where Lebron is coming from, because if anyone on my grade school basketball team had sex with my mom, I would have left the team too. Right after I put shaving cream in their shoes. So say good bye Cleveland! Your rich history of Albert Belle, The Drew Carey Show, and Bone Thugs and Harmony has been completely ruined by Delonte West. Lebron will be leaving Cleveland and hopefully wearing a Bulls jersey next year.

Lebron, just watch out for that ugly motherfucker Joakim Noah.

My Last Second NBA Preview

With less than 25 games left in the NBA season, why do an NBA preview?

Exactly my thoughts. This seems like a waste of time. But I have nothing better to do and a lack of games left, makes my predictions look smarter.

MY RIDICULOUS NBA PREVIEWS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 2009-2010 SEASON:

1. Everyone on the Celtics will stay healthy through the playoffs.

2. The Suns won't regret NOT trading Amare Stoudemire before they lose him to free agency this summer.

3. No one will care what Lebron does in free agency this summer till the season is over.

4. The Nets plan of having a company do your taxes for free, if you purchase a ticket to a Nets game will work and be adopted by every team in the NBA. *Except in New York, where with the purchase of a Knicks ticket you get your choice of a cameo role in Spike Lee's next movie or a free Lebron James jersey.

5. Steve Nash will cut his hair, and no longer look like a character from Lord of the Rings.

6. Chris Bosh's jersey will be retired in a last second effort by the Toronto Raptors to keep him in Toronto.

*There will also be a statue of him in this ridiculous outfit, outside the Air Canada Centre.

7. Lebron will change his number from 23 to 6. Then again change from the number 6, in order to preserve Patrick Ewing's legacy in Orlando.

MY ACTUAL NBA PREVIEW:

THE EAST:

- Cavs will come out the winner in the East. The Celtics aren't healthy enough to put up a fight and the Hawks aren't good enough. That only leaves Orlando, and no one cares about Florida unless it's spring break.

- The Heat will beat a big team in the first round. (Orlando, Atlanta, Boston, Toronto?)

- The Celtics and The Bulls will not almost cause me to have a premature heart attack this year.

- The Bucks will make the playoffs. Yet, no one will watch or care about the Bucks.

- The Cavs will get Big Z back by the end of March and Shaq by the playoffs, causing the Bulls to forfeit the first round of the playoffs.

THE WEST:

- The Lakers will come obviously come out the winner. Just like the Cavs, they are at least 6 games up on everyone in their conference. Denver or Dallas could push them to a 7 game series towards the end of the playoffs, but for the most part they will not be challenged.

- Currently the Spurs are sitting in the 7th spot in the west. Sleeper? You better believe it!

- Kevin Durant will average over 35 points a game in the playoffs. He is a monster. And not a good, harmless monster, like Cookie Monster, but a real monster that will eat up your team in the playoffs.

- Dallas is way better than they get credit for.

- The Suns will lose in the first round. Let's face the facts; Steve Nash, much like Samantha from Sex and the City, will never get a ring. *insert joke about assists relating to promiscuous behavior. **Here's the best I could do... (They both can't help but give it up!)

MVP Voting

1. Lebron

2. Carmelo Anthony

3. Kobe

4. Kevin Durant

5. Dwayne Wade

I'm sure Carmelo and Durant won't get the votes they deserve, but they have both put up ridiculous number all year. Plus, the Thunder don't actually suck this year. Dirk should do alright in the voting as well.

THE FINALS:

Lebron vs. Kobe!

The Lakers vs. The Cavs!

Lakers in 6. Kobe will be finals MVP.

As much as this pains me to say it, The Lakers will repeat. Even with the add of Jamison and Z, the Cavs line up is without enough flow to beat the Lakers and will fall short again. Which leads me to this final prediction.....

- Lebron James will sing Beyonce's "all the single ladies" when he announces this summer that he will be leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland, "if you liked it, then you shoulda put a ring on it."

Welcome!

Welcome to my NBA blog! Since I only know 3 people that actually watch the NBA, I expect to have even less followers. But...why? Why would you chose to follow this blog for your NBA knowledge, when you could just go onto espn.com? I have no idea. I will probably go to that site first too! But, eventually you should make your way to me and here is why!

1. I base all my basketball knowledge strictly on what I learn from playing 2k10 for playstation 2

2. I still own a playstation 2.

3. I hate Kobe and plan on focusing my most of my attention on that.

4. I have the self proclaimed skinniest jeans of all NBA fans.

4. I once played a full court basketball game wearing dress socks.

6. My jump shot is uglier than Charles Oakley.

7. I don't own basketball shoes or actually play basketball, because it is requires less effort and money to just open a free blog to talk about basketball.

Well.. if your not interested by now, then you never will be.
