To say that LeBron James had one of the worst outings in his career Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves would make many stans angry, but the numbers just don’t lie.

Cleveland Cavaliers superstar forward LeBron James has established himself as perhaps the most physically-gifted player in NBA history.

After a stretch that saw the Cleveland Cavaliers win 18 of 19 games, they now seem stuck in an uninspired and sluggish pace. The effort they displayed on Monday night’s 127-99 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves was a prime example. The Cavs can’t get anything going offensively and defensively all game long, and it also […]

With his small frame and classic scorer’s mentality, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Isaiah Thomas quickly rose to become one of the most loved players in the NBA. It didn’t even matter if one liked his previous teams (Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, and Sacramento Kings), because the now-Cavs star was just that fun to watch. When Thomas […]

LeBron James is not a closet fan of the Cleveland Browns. He takes things seriously. For that reason, it makes complete sense that he would be very upset that the Browns ended their NFL season without a single win.

The Los Angeles Lakers waived center Andrew Bogut on Thursday, and now the bidding war begins for his services in the next few days.

Some people might even be surprised […]

I’ve […]
