The old NBA Playoffs cliché is that it’s not a series until the home team loses a game. And if that’s true at all, then the Indiana Pacers/Miami Heat battle is now a series in every sense of the word, and on top of that, there’s a bit of bad blood between the two squads. The Pacers escaped Miami with [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Antoine Walker‘s NBA Championship ring just sold for $21,500 … which would have been great news for Antoine, if he wouldn’t have been FORCED to sell as part of his bankruptcy case. Walker — who won the ring as a member of the 2006 Miami Heat — filed for bankruptcy back in 2010 … claiming he racked up more than [...]
No need to use Google when Shane Battier is standing nearby. If Miami Heat players need a question answered, they turn to Battier, their versatile forward — versatile, that is, with his knowledge. “He’s probably the No. 1 smartest basketball player and person I’ve been around,” said Heat forward LeBron James. “He knows everything.” The savvy Battier obviously knows basketball. [...]
In a couple of weeks, we’ll start hearing the inevitable chatter about hot seats in the NBA. The formula for who rides the hot seat is pretty reliable. The coach’s team has underperformed and his critics believe he has been given ample time to succeed. His contract can’t be too onerous because most teams don’t enjoy subsidizing the salaries of [...]
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 [...]
A 21-year-old student is suing Alonzo Mourning claiming the former Miami Heat star struck his car, which had already been involved in a crash and was left in a major roadway. On the eve of his philanthropic foundation’s most important fund-raising event of the year, Zo’s Summer Groove, former Miami Heat basketball star Alonzo Mourning is facing a lawsuit stemming [...]
