That settles it. On his own terms, Kyrie Irving announces his return after missing the first 24 games of the season due to a fractured knee cap that has haunted him since his first career NBA Finals appearance months ago. I'm back. — Kyrie Irving (@KyrieIrving) December 19, 2015 “Wrongly reported” less than a week […]

It’s official: Cavaliers shooting guard Iman Shumpert is the father of a beautiful baby girl. His wife certainly sees the paternal potential, as father Shump went doctor Shump to bring new life into the world: “On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world.

After landing the largest sports contract in human history (What a time to be alive), LeBron James has signed his life away to Nike. That’s a commitment, and we all know how seriously James takes his commitments. RELATED: LeBron James Signs Lifetime Deal With Nike If the video above does not work, try this one: […]

After missing 21 games due to a wrist injury, surgery and rehab process, Cavs shooting guard Iman Shumpert has been taken off the injured reserve list. His anticipated activation has stretched for weeks without return dates, the best report being “a chance” for a comeback from head coach David Blatt on their upcoming road trip. […]

With an Eastern conference that will only get better, the Atlanta Hawks are quickly loosing a competitive edge on teams like the Cavaliers and Bulls. Even a quick tip from an eight-year-old fan couldn’t hurt: If you couldn’t make out his stellar penmanship, Eli wrote directly to Coach Mike Budenholzer: Dear Coach Bud, My name […]

Were we ever truly worried about LeBron James? After receiving an anti-inflammatory injection in his lower back last week, some questioned LeBron James’ availability in the Cavaliers’ season opener against the Chicago Bulls after being shutdown for the remainder of preseason. Reports from ESPN’s Dave McMenamin throughout the week gave optimism despite yesterday’s panic that […]

“Never before have I had middle-aged women, or older women, or people of color, approach me in these numbers.” The phrase “LeBron James” can take over any conversation, drive away any doubt of greatness, bring profits to any business and even make any organization a philanthropic one. James’ influence serves communities around the world, but […]

This past week, for the sixteenth time since its inception in 2002 (NBA Media Central) , the NBA Replay Center unanimously voted to add modifications to the instant-replay procedure for NBA games. The association has stepped up its game this time. Starting this season, before the required three on-court NBA officials can make a calls […]

The media has been looking for “that story” this summer and according to TMZ’s “obtained court documents,” a gold mine might have been uncovered. Quickly surfacing around the web are rumors that Kyrie Irving is going to be a dad. With news this big, it only makes sense that it comes out of Texas, where […]

Have you ever wanted to travel around with LeBron James? What about just making contact with one of the greatest of all time? Well then there’s a opportunity for you, and you can apply to the King himself: I've been thinking about this for awhile and some of you may think I'm crazy but hey, […]

What hurts most about falling short after coming so far in sports is how deep the fallen end up. Kevin Love’s recovery from his shoulder injury still feels dislocated and Kyrie Irving’s knee fracture in Game 1 of Cleveland’s fairytale Finals run still stings months later. Consequently, the front office’s job was far from finished […]

Cleveland’s offseason has been dramatically predictable, especially in their front court. After Kevin Love announced his decision to take care of unfinished business and Timofey Mozgov accepting a qualifying offer to play for a larger contract next season, all that’s left for Cavs fans to do is welcome back Tristan Thompson. Then came Sasha Kaun, […]

Like most storylines in LeBron James’ career, the tension between him and Kevin Love insinuated by subversive thinkers results from taking the King’s life too personally. James revealed his inner circle of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul and Dwyane Wade – the tremendous draft class of 2003 – to silence any speculation of his relationship with […]

After an entire summer of contract talks, Cavs fans in the dark finally heard word on Tristan Thompson’s contract, and the dramatic anticipation did not disappoint. The Forward’s agent, Rich Paul, announced an ultimatum that makes Cleveland’s decision on Thompson’s future a gamble: "All I know is TT on Qualifying Offer will be his last […]

Summer 2015 has been underwhelming to say the least. The Cavs have swallowed defeat, reassembled a majority of their hungry squad, added a few old and new faces, and now look to take their NBA-leading 2-1 Las Vegas odds to the 2015-16 season with a head of steam for a championship. Along that path was […]

Since losing in the NBA Finals, the Cavaliers have learned to become grateful. Cavs fans are starting to fight pessimistic slurs that called LeBron James’ 40-point performances and triple-doubles “not enough” to win a championship. Now, the Cavs have some work to do in order to avoid falling short next season. The first step is […]

Two facts were validated about LeBron James in his 2015 postseason push: all discipline, no distractions. In fact, made that clear before the playoffs even started with his patented Social Media Shutdown that he benevolently calls “Zero Dark Thirty-23.” Besides the one-way praises he sent Chris Paul in a 30 second phone call after the […]

With the weight of the NBA’s most patient fans on his shoulders, LeBron James has to avoid drowning in his hometown’s half-century thirst of a championship. Thus far, the King has led his the Cavaliers to 12 impressive playoff victories in a postseason-low 14 games. Now in his fifth consecutive Finals showing, James is leading […]

There is a level of respect you get when you stand up after being shoved by another player who’s got 60 pounds on you. But read his lips, and you realize he might’ve just ignited LeBron James, who silences trash talk with domination.

After stealing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Atlanta, the Cleveland Cavaliers have validated the theory that, come playoff time, regular season records are meaningless. The Houston Rockets were swept by the Golden State Warriors by an average difference of 14.1 ppg in the regular season before insinuating this thesis after falling short […]

Joakim Noah continues to do absolutely nothing against LeBron James. All talk is an understatement.

This is not basketball. The worst part? Chicago cheers when the Bulls make these plays.

After Bulls Point Guard Derrick Rose won Game Three with a miraculous buzzer-beater off the glass, the Cavs went back to the hotel with broken hearts, aching muscles and a game down in the series. Recovery was the top priority. After a yoga session and media scrutiny, the Cavs walked back into the United Center […]

Kevin Love just had surgery, keeping him from basketball for 4-6 months. A blow to the Cavs lineup, but not their playoff hopes. Love lifts Cavs Nation: Tough break but I woke up feeling great this morning. Thank you everyone for the love and support. #GoCavs Here’s Love’s timeline from the injury announcement to the […]

After reports confirming Kevin Love’s dislocated shoulder would rule out Cleveland’s starting Power Forward for the Eastern Conference Semifinals, Cavs’ GM David Griffin made some pessimistic, yet oddly inspirational comments at this morning’s press conference: David Griffin says its "highly unlikely" that Kevin Love returns at any point during the playoffs. — Dave McMenamin (@mcten) […]

According to Jason Lloyd, the Cavs have ruled out Kevin Love for Cleveland’s Eastern Conference Semifinals series against either the Chicago Bulls or Milwaukee Bucks. Love was injured in what he believes was a “dirty play” by Boston Celtics’ Kelly Olynyk in Game 4 of the Cavs’ first round sweep this past Sunday. Basically Love […]

Game 4 of the Cavs first round playoff series against the Boston Celtics did not go very smoothly. Not that the Cavs lost, but they might’ve limbed out of their victory at the TD Garden. The Cavs overcame what Point Guard Kyrie Irving calls “the most physical game [he’s] every played in,” as the Wine […]

RELATED: Man Arrested Over Violent LeBron James Vs Michael Jordan Debate! LeBron James has become more than accustomed to post game interviews, but the truth can make any question awkward. Challenging his own pride, James admits one of his biggest fans doesn’t believe he’s the greatest of all time: That’s right, Bronny James looks up […]

LeBron James’ first bucket in the AT&T Center is ferocious and merciless, you can tell he’s not messing around tonight after letting the Spurs slip through his fingers last time.

Shump can Jump!

Remember January? Not too long ago, the Cavs had the most interesting month of their season. It started slow, when the Cavs lost 8 of 10 games and suffered injuries and media scrutiny. Then, to make matters worst, LeBron took two weeks off to rejuvenate and suppress nagging injuries to his ankle and back. We […]

January was a tale of tales for the Cavaliers. Extended injuries, blockbuster trades, losing streaks, winning streaks – the works, really; but along with the roller coaster came the passengers, including Kyrie Irving who was taken for a ride to kick off 2015. After losing nearly seven million dollars for not being named an All […]

After losing LeBron’s return to Cleveland against the Knicks and to Miami against the Heat, the Cavs finally got a reunion right. Kevin made a successful return to his former team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, defeating his past 6-year abode, 106-90. LeBron James led the Cavaliers with 36 points, six rebounds and five assists. Andrew Wiggins, […]

Trading Dion Waiters and multiple picks for Iman Shumpert, J.R. Smith and Timofey Mozgov initially relayed a controversial rep for the Cavaliers. However, the driving force to these criticisms was carried by the momentum of their disappointing play. Naturally, high-strung media sources exacerbated the rumors, pegging the franchise’s issues around player-coach drama and a saturated […]

When desperate times call for desperate measures, the Cavs make a blockbuster decision that might make GM David Griffin a historical businessman. In their mostly insignificant contest with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Cavs pulled Dion Waiters, Lou Amundson and Alex Kirk from the lineup, with sources now confirming that the three are involved in a three-way […]

After physicals exams and a MRI at Cleveland Clinic Sports Health, Cavs’ Head Team Physician, Dr. Richard D. Parker, revealed strains in LeBron’s lower back and left knee that will sideline the King for more than a couple games. His rehab will mainly consists of rest and plenty of anti-inflammatories, but time off is the […]
