By halftime on Saturday at the BankUnited Center, while most of the sold-out crowd was twisting out their necks trying to get an eyeful of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade courtside, the national beat writers and TV analysts holed up in the media room were already tossing around the question:…
LeBron James has demonstrated such deity-like powers lately, the pope said, “Ah fuck it. I quit.”Throughout his career as an indomitable nard-crushing baller, LeBron has repeatedly demonstrated his astonishing ability to cock-punch his opponents unconscious while simultaneously lighting them on fire with every shot and dunk. And yet, he’s never…
For a long while now this season, the Miami Heat were languishing at the bottom of the league in rebounds. This was partly due to them not having a real rebounding specialist. It was also because the Heat sometimes approach regular season games like a kid playing with his mashed…

Yesterday we told you about South Plantation High star running back Alex Collins’ mom confiscating his letter of intent to attend Arkansas and then disappearing with it. Basically, Momma Collins doesn’t want her baby to go so far away. And who can blame her? It’s her son; it’s a tense…
Apparently Ohioans being butthurt about LeBron James leaving Cleveland to join the Miami Heat is still a thing. So much so that the State of Ohio has been receiving requests for vanity plates that express hatred for all things LeBron. Because it’s not enough to call a sports talk radio…

The Miami Marlins held a fan/player meet-and-greet at the Hollywood Dave & Busters last night where they literally could have dressed the guy who hands out prize tickets in a suit and told people he was one of the new players and no one would have batted an eye. Meanwhile,…
As we’ve pointed out here before, LeBron James’ game is more than just taking shots and making dunks. It is insanely balls-out efficient. Last night against the visiting Charlotte Bobcats, LeBron showed that his massive efficiency grades were currently at gamma ray levels, going 13-for-14 — a nut-demolishing 98.2 field-goal…
Riding a nine-game winning streak and perfect 8-0 ACC score card, the University of Miami’s men’s basketball program hit another milestone yesterday: a spot on the Associated Press’ top 10.

An NBA player who’s more famous for grabbing another player’s dick than his actual game went and said some dumb stuff about the Miami Heat and LeBron James. Brooklyn Nets power forward Reggie Evans told reporters that he doesn’t think much of the Heat’s championship and that LeBron is basically…
Maybe it was the fact that the team fooled Miami-Dade into building them a ballpark, and now the county is billions of dollars in the hole. Maybe it was the fact that they swore they wanted to contend while trading away their best players. Maybe it was that ridiculous rainbow…

With three of the league’s biggest egotistical asshats superstars filling out its roster, not to mention a fresh championship, you would think the Heat would at least land in the top five when it comes to the highest valued NBA franchises. Almost, but not quite, or so says Forbes. According…
Commissioners in Miami-Dade County said they want the Dolphins’ Broward County operations come south of the county borderline should they help fund the team’s $400 million revamp of Sun Life Stadium. “Any public investment we entertain, we must have a return, a clear public purpose,” said Mayor Carlos Giménez. “If…
