NBA commissioner David Stern handed Miami’s LeBron James his third MVP trophy in a pregame ceremony before the Heat hosted the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. James was announced Saturday as the winner of the award. Fans attending the Indiana-Miami playoff game were all given headbands with James’ logo and the letters “MVP” printed on them, as well as placards to [...]
LeBron James had more turnovers and fouls than baskets, and still the Miami Heat were ahead. James didn’t like having to sit, but he sure liked what he saw. “I’m not a guy who’s in foul trouble a lot, so it was difficult for me to sit down early in the third,” he said. “But we have a great supporting [...]
I’ll be honest. In September 2010, upon reading that Israel’s Division I mediocre team Barak Netanya acquired Romeo Travis, the 2003 St. Vincent St. Mary (SVSM) national high school champion, I thought ‘Who?’ Don’t get me wrong. I was always aware of the Fab 5 gang from Ohio; I simply couldn’t remember any of their names except — LeBron James. [...]
During their first season together, despite all of the success they achieved together, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade never truly figured out who’s team the Miami Heat were. Since he’d been in South Beach longer, and had already won a NBA title, DWade remained the defacto leader of the squad. After famously flaming out in the NBA Finals, LeBron was [...]
Ronny Turiaf talked with Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra, and got recruiting calls from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. The Miami Heat put on the press, and Turiaf was impressed. “I was actually quite shocked, to tell you the truth,” Turiaf said. “I was not expecting Dwyane and LeBron to reach out to me.” They did, and the Heat recruiting [...]
Even though he may not have yet won an NBA championship, LeBron James, at 27, is already a pretty well-accomplished person, isn’t he? He has won two MVP awards, been to the NBA Finals two times, been a scoring champion, a rookie of the year, and an eight-time All Star. In the process, he has also sold a lot of [...]
Last fall, USA TODAY published an article about the Duke men’s basketball team, in which coach Mike Krzyzewski compared then-Duke star Kyrie Irving to NBA All-Star Chris Paul. When told of those comments last month in an interview with USA TODAY, Irving paused, then said, “There’s only one Kyrie Irving.” While a comparison to Paul may be bold, Irving’s performance [...]
Gregg Popovich is hardly one to put out “Popovich for 2016″ posters. But LeBron James might do some campaigning for him. James, the Miami forward, said Tuesday that Popovich, who has coached San Antonio to four NBA titles, would be a great choice for U.S. Olympic coach in 2016 if Mike Krzyzewski doesn’t return. “Absolutely,” James said when asked by [...]
It’s early, but LeBron James looks very good at the line. He’s got a relaxed, fluid and free arm motion, which is working well with his somewhat more open stance. But he’s also following his shot, stepping over the line with his right foot before the ball reaches the basket. It’s like he’s daring the refs to whistle him for [...]
I’ll certainly enjoy Tuesday’s Boston-Miami game, but it won’t have the deed to my attention span. Last year’s Celtics-Heat opener owned my anticipation, attention, and later, my ruminations. I sat bolt-upright in a musty, saw-dusted sports bar, eyes bulging towards the TV. I interrogated the game for some kind of predictive meaning. I interrogated bar patrons for how they felt [...]
