LeBron James and Serge Ibaka were both on the NBA’s All-Defensive Team this season, but Ibaka is not impressed with James’ skills on that end of the court. Ibaka, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s power forward, said Monday that James was “not a good defender” and that “he can play defense for two or three minutes but not 48 minutes.” James [...]
To date, the NBA Finals have been a wildly entertaining series, filled with drama, superstar talent, and compelling storylines. What has been sorely lacking, however, is real friction and bad blood between the Miami Heat and OKC Thunder. And Serge Ibaka is here to change that, with a bit of trash talk aimed at LeBron James prior to Game 4 [...]
We have one hell of a championship round on our hands, as the NBA Finals now shift to Miami for three consecutive tilts, following the Heat’s big Game 2 win last night. LeBron James (32 points, 8 boards, 5 assists) received the help he so desperately needed from Dwyane Wade and others, and in the end, James got the best [...]
Round 1 of the dream superstar showdown in the NBA Finals went to Kevin Durant, decisively. The Durantula scored 17 of his game-high 36 points in the fourth quarter last night, as the OKC Thunder took the opener of the series after trailing throughout the first half. OKC’s young guns showed impressive poise down the stretch, before cruising past a [...]
LeBron James is making a guarantee about this third NBA Finals appearance: This time there will be no regrets. Though his playoff career has been accomplished, the two worst series of James’ career have been his two previous trips to the Finals. Speaking Monday as he and his Miami Heat teammates prepared to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in Tuesday’s [...]
In the end, the greatness of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade prevailed. Regardless of whatever advantage the Indiana Pacers may have thought they had going into last night — an injured Chris Bosh, a jacked-up home crowd, suspensions to two Heat players — the sheer talent and relentless dominance of Wade and James was simply too much to overcome, and [...]
The Miami Heat will be short-handed tonight, as they look to eliminate the Indiana Pacers. That wouldn’t be the case, according to LeBron James, had the refs simply ejected Tyler Hansbrough after he committed his flagrant foul on Dwyane Wade. Per the Sun-Sentinel: “James said had Pacers forward Tyler Hansbrough been immediately cited for a Flagrant 2 foul Tuesday and [...]
The media voted for All-NBA First, Second and Third Teams, with points awarded on a 5-3-1 basis. Kobe made the First Team for the seventh straight year and 10th time in his career. LBJ earned his sixth First-Team honor and is on track for at least another six. Russ Westbrook received his second straight Second-Team selection, edging out DWade. Check [...]
LeBron James insists he’s not concerned about his safety on the court, but vows to brace for more hard fouls on Thursday in Game 6 of what has become a brutally physical playoff series between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers. “It may have gotten to that point. For me, it’s always at that point,” James said Wednesday after the [...]
In the second half of the Pacers-Heat game Thursday night, Lance Stephenson flashed a “choke” gesture in LeBron James’ direction following a missed free throw. Then Saturday afternoon, the inevitable occurred: the Pacers guard apologized for his actions, admitting it was disrespectful. The Miami Sun-Sentinel has the report: “Lance who? That was LeBron James’ response Saturday when asked about seldom-used [...]
