Breaking Ankle, but Losing

Last night, December 17, 2014, the Cavaliers took on the Atlanta Hawks. During the game LeBron was being guarded tight by Thabo Sefolosha. LeBron could not really get pass Sefolosha, he even stumbled the ball a couple of times. But LeBron was not going to make himself look bad at home in the Quicken Loans Arena. So, LeBron put on his ball handling skills, and showed Sefolosha how it is to be put on an ice rink. LeBron crossed Sefolosha going right, but went left and made Sefolosha fall to the floor, but he stuck his hand out. LeBron drove the ball in, but the Hawks defense collapsed on him, but LeBron does not only score, rebound, and play defense. LeBron can also pass the ball, and that is what exactly what he did once the Hawks defense collapsed on him. LeBron killed the ball out to an open Dellavedova for an open three pointer. Cavaliers lost this game to the Hawks though. I should not say lost I would have to say got blown out by the Hawks. The final score was 127-98, Cavaliers worst loss of the season. LeBron had 21 points, 2 assists, and 3 rebounds. What happen to LeBron this game? He also sat out the entire fourth quarter. LeBron did not look like how he was playing before the Hawks game. I do not know if it was just a bad day? Or what? But LeBron is really close to making history just three points away from passing Charles Barkley for the twenty-third spot on the NBA All Time Points leaders. LeBron has scored 23,754 through out his entire career. People are making statistics about when LeBron is going to pass Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant on the list. They say LeBron should pass them in year of 2019 at the age of 34. I guess we will just have to wait and see about that though. For now, Cavaliers just need to win games and better themselves each game.

Golden State 16 Game Winning Streak

Stephen Curry... He is not the greatest three point shooter, yet. He has not passed Ray Allen in three point shots made, but the way he shoots the three and how efficient he is from behind the arc, he will pass Ray Allen. If you did not know, but Stephen Curry is the Golden State Warriors point guard. The Warriors this season is on a hot streak. The Warriors are the top team in power ranking and top team of their conference. The Warriors win to lose ratio is 21-2, best in the NBA this season and are on a 16 game winning streak. Golden State had a lot of changes this summer, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson being on the 2014 USA Basketball team, and winning gold. Warriors also acquired former Bull, who was a good three point shooter, but not as great as Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr. New coach, new team. The Warriors are winning even though their big man David Lee has been out and only played 7 minutes this whole season. Steve Kerr was asked if the Warriors team can approach the 72 victories by the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, which Kerr played for. This is what Kerr had to say with a laugh,"No, we had this guy named Michael Jordan on that team." also adding in that 95-96 Chicago team was once 41-3 at one point. Kerr also said,"Come talk to me." if the Warriors stay on their hot streak and win 20 of their next 21 games. Tune in today, December 16, 2014, to watch the Warriors play in Memphis against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are 19-4 ranked second in power ranking. It is going to be a great game, and I hope Curry and the Warriors can keep their streak alive, and make history beating the 95-96 Bulls.

How LeBron Stands in This Season

People always worry about their favorite players stats. Well, LeBron fans here is LeBrons' stats so far this season and hope it can improve or stay where it as at for the rest of the season. LeBron currently ranks 2nd in the league in scoring, 2nd in minutes, 3rd in free throw attempts, and 6th in assists. LeBron is scoring 25.5 points per game, 5.50 rebounds per game, 7.6 assists per game, and playing 38 minutes per game. When he is on the court he bring 25.62 efficiency to the Cavaliers team. That means when LeBron plays, he is responsible for that many points for the Cavaliers. That is pretty damn good for a 11 year professional. This is how LeBron makes his mark and stands in the NBA 2014-15 season. His stats will change once it comes playoff time without a doubt.

Teams Thinking They Can Shut Down LeBron

Today, Monday, December 15, 2014, The Cavaliers won against the Charlotte Hornets 88-97 to keep their streak 22-0 against the Hornets. If you did not know, but Michael Jordan is the owner of the Hornets and the Hornets acquired Lance Stevenson over the summer. The reason Michael Jordan acquired Stevenson was to bother LeBron. Lance and LeBron are known to have their little scraps against each other when Lance was with the Indian Pacers. Tonight Lance could not bother LeBron or the Cavaliers team. LeBron had 27 points, 13 assists, and 7 rebounds. Lance had 8 points, 4 assists and 2 rebounds. Not even close to LeBron. LeBron had to say this about teams thinking they can shut them down,"You really can't get me out my game. The only way to get me out of my game is if I miss shots. And then I'm able to still affect the game in other ways. For me, I'm my worst enemy at times. If I'm not aggressive, then that's bad for our chances. So I need to always be aggressive. It doesn't matter if I'm making shots or not, I'm rebounding, defending, getting my guys involved. Teams are going to try to make me what they don't want me to do. They don't like me in transition, they don't like me getting to the rim, and they'd much rather have me shoot. So I work on all aspects of my game to where I don't have much of a flaw." That is what LeBron had say about teams trying to shut him down. This win against the Hornets also was LeBrons' seventh game with 10 or more assists, which LeBron only had 7 games with 10 or more assists the whole last season with Miami. Face the facts NBA, LeBron can not be stopped unless he stops himself. Even though LeBron did not win much with Miami, it was not really his fault. It was Miami not showing up and helping LeBron win the Finals last season. LeBron is a different player this year. I see it, I been watching LeBron play since he joined the NBA. I like this Cavaliers team, and I see them making the Playoffs and I' am hoping they make the finals. It is only their first year together and when LeBron joined Wade, and Bosh their first year they made the Finals, but lost. The Cavaliers "Big 3" are off to a better their first season together than the Miami's "Big 3" that included LeBron in the roster their first year.

3rd All Time Scorer.. Kobe Bean Bryant

On December 14, 2014 Kobe Bryant surpassed Legend Michael Jordan in most points scored. Kobe played in the league for 18 years, this is his 18th year, and Michael Jordan played in league for 15 years. Kobe was drafted in 1996 right out of high school. Michael Jordan went to college first before he went pro. Most people say, "Well Kobe has more years." That is not the point. Sure Michael scored more in less years. But that is his fault for retiring two times and coming back. Jordan has one more ring on Kobe, but Kobe can now say he has more points than Jordan. Kobe Bryants' point record right now is 32,310. Bryant is behind Karl Malone(36,928) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar(38,387). Kobe made this milestone versus the Timberwolves and right after Kobe shot the free throw to pass Jordan they stopped the game and congratulate him for the milestone. Bryant said this after the game,"I'm just honored to be here, man, to still be playing, I appreciate being able to play this long. Careers normally don't last this long. I really appreciate the opportunity to still be out there playing and performing and doing what I do." Of course people had to ask how Michael Jordan felt about Kobe passing him and this is what he had to say about Kobe passing him, "I congratulate Kobe on reaching this milestone, He's obviously a great player, with a strong work ethic and has an equally strong passion for the game of basketball. I've enjoyed watching his game evolve over the years, and I look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next." Kobe also had to say this, "He(Jordan) knows how much I've learned from him, from the other legends, but him in particular." Players in the league like LeBron sent tweets out congratulating Kobe and his achievement. Also, legends like Magic Johnson who is a former Laker. To celebrate Bryants' achievement, Nike, which sponsors both athletes, put a special edition "Mamba Moment" shoe on sale online for $245. It was a great moment of history for Kobe and the Bryant family. This is not the end of Kobe Bryant breaking history. He will achieve more milestones in his career because it is not quite over yet, he has at least one more year in him. Until then, we will see how much more points Kobe will score and he will continue adding more points today, December 15, 2014, against the Indian Pacers. Tune in to see Kobe add more points on his career points.

9 Game Winning Streak... Nope.

On Thursday, December 11, 2014, the Cleveland Cavaliers faced off against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Cavaliers ended up losing the game 103-94 ending their 8 game winning streak. During the first half Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving had a scare for Cavalier Nation by trying to contest Oklahoma's point guard Russell Westbrook's shot. Kyrie ended up coming back and finishing the game with 20 points, 6 assists, and 3 rebounds. LeBron did not play this game due to soreness in his knees, but Cavaliers still got some work done without LeBron. It was just a nine point game, and it could of been worse. Without LeBron this game, Kevin Love had to put some work in and he finished the game with 18 points, 16 rebounds, and 2 assists. Big man Tristan Thompson had 14 points and 13 rebounds. Matthew Dellavedova who missed quite some games due to injury played and finished with 14 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists. Coming off the bench Dion Waiters had 14 points, and 4 assists. Oklahoma snaps the Cavaliers winning streak and take the win to a LeBron- less team. Kevin Durant and Russell back from injury, the Cavaliers will give this game to them to get them back on track. Until next time Oklahoma fans.

Kobe Bryant Passing Michael Jordan

I know this is not about LeBron, but this guy is beyond talented and people claim he is better than Michael Jordan and I would agree with that. Kobe is known for the most missed shots in the NBA, he holds that record for the most missed shots. You also would see similarities between Kobes' style of play and Jordans'. Kobe might have stole his moves, but he perfected how it looked. Jordan was the guy to hit clutch shots, but he is also known to finish around the rim. Kobe is a shooter and we all know that. Kobe is or was the most clutch person, and you can not deny it just because you do not like him. Kobe has been through many injuries, even a career ending injury the torn achilles. Kobe came back from that injury, all Jordan really had was the "Flu" game. What makes Jordan better? That he has 6 rings and Kobe has 6? Well, Kobe is about to pass Jordan pretty soon in points. Given healthy and 30 or so shot attempts over the next game or three, Kobe will pass Jordan for third in NBA history in career points. Kobe came up in a generation desperate for "The Next Jordan." Kobe Bryant who is now 36 years old, but still leading the NBA with 25.5 points a game this season for the 6-16 Lakers, has outlasted most of his rivals from that era. Jordan has 32,292 career points and Kobe has 32,262. Kobe had to say this after the win Against Sacramento, "It's coming, I just take it all in stride." There is no doubt that all Laker fans are waiting to see Kobe pass Jordan. This is history for the old Kobe Bryant. This is a cherry on top of a sundae, and now it is just when is he going to retire? Kobe said he can not see himself playing beyond 2015-16. That is a lot of time from now, but it has to leave Laker fans kind of down? Is the Clippers going to be the next team for Los Angeles? Or are the Lakers going to get a young and talent player from the draft like Kobe again? Highly unlikely. But, who knows? Kobe might change his mind playing beyond the 2015-16 season. For right now, watch the history in the making. Pretty soon, Kobe will pass Jordan for the third spot in the NBA for most career points.

LeBron Watched Knicks Fall to Trail Blazers

December 7, 2014, LeBron watched the Knicks falls short to the Portland Trail Blazers 103-99. The funny part of the game was that J.R. Smith called James a "student of the game" for attending the Knicks' game Sunday at the Garden. J.R. Smith is too cocky for a shooting guard. He is talking about the best player in the game today. J.R. Smith is known to take bad shots, and have some problems on the court. Remember when Carmelo Anthony was wide open, but Smith had to take the last shot anyways, and missed. But he does have his fair share of good moments. It was the Knicks straight defeat, seven of them only losing by seven or less points. According to Carmelo Anthony, James took in the game as a way to show his "support" for their friendship. LeBron sat across from the Knick bench on his day off from the Cavaliers, who visited the Brooklyn Nets on Monday. The Knicks are 4-18 have lost 17 of their last 19 and off to their worst start in franchise history. James got to see the Knicks rally from 11 points down in the fourth quarter, with Anthony and Smith leading the change before Aldridge took over in the final minute. Anthony who had 23 points made a deep three to make it 95-91 with 5:56 left. Anthony then hit a 19 footer to cut it to 95-93 with a little over five minutes left. A'mare ended up tying the game 95-95 with 4:29 to go, but eventually the Blazers would take the lead 97-95 with 3:33 left. Six straight point from Aldridge put the Blazers up 102-99 with 1:18 left. Anthony missed a 21 foot jump shot at 1:05 and Prigioni missed a potential game tying three with 29 seconds remaining.

8 Game Winning Streak and History

Lately the Cleveland Cavaliers are on a hot streak. They have won eight games in a row and last night was their eighth against the best team in the East, Toronto Raptors. LeBron had 35 points, making the tiebreaking 3- pointer with forty eight seconds remaining, and Cleveland beat the Toronto Raptors 105-101. Toronto, who owns the best record in the Eastern Conference, went ahead midway through the first quarter, built the lead to 14 points late in the third quarter and still led by 10 with about eight minutes to play. "I guess it was a little desperation, you get down on your home floor 13, 14 points, you go out and control what you can control. That's how hard you play, how hard you defend. The defense got our offense going." Said LeBron. With LeBron's jumper from the top of the key gave Cleveland a 102-99 lead and tied him with Mark Price for the franchise record for 3-pointers made at 802. LeBron scored 10 points in the fourth quarter, when Cleveland held Toronto to 13 points. The Cavaliers have not lost a game since falling to the Toronto Raptors 110-93 at the Quicken Loans Arena on November 22, when LeBron called the Cavaliers "fragile." Dion Waiters came off the bench and had 18 points and Kevin Love had 17. LeBron's 35 point game yesterday, December 9, 2014 snapped an 11 game streak with fewer than 30 points, his longest such streak since his rookie season.

"I Can't Breath" Shirts

On December 9, 2014, In Brooklyn it was the Cavaliers versus the Nets. During pre game warm ups several players from the Cavaliers and the Nets were wearing the black "I Can't Breathe" T-shirt. Those players included LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Garnett, and Deron Williams. First to support the T-Shirt was Derrick Rose from the Chicago Bulls to support the family of Eric Garner. LeBron had to say this before Mondays game,"It's not a Cavs thing, It's a worldly thing." In the past couple of weeks on several occasions, LeBron has spoken out about the deaths of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Tamir Rice in Cleveland. Garner, Brown, and Rice were all African American males who died because of confrontation with a police officer. LeBron had to say this about being asked about the T-shirt, "It's just for us to make a statement to understand what we're going through in society ,I've been quoted over and over about whats going on as far as it's more of a notion to the family, more than anything. Obviously, as a society we have to do better. We have to be better for one another. It doesn't matter what race you are. It's more of a shout out to the family more than anything, because they're the ones that should be getting all the energy and effort." LeBron told the media on Sunday he was looking for the same T-shirt Derrick Rose was wearing before the Nets game. Jarrett Jack heard LeBrons comments and supplied for players on both teams to wear. Before the game, Jack, who played for Cleveland last season, told reporters he offered the T-shirts to members of the Cavs. This is what Jack had to say," I just heard people's opinion on the topic, and I know (the Cavaliers) are on the road, this is place where it happened, so if they wanted to be a part of the cause or make a statement without actually necessarily saying any words, I definitely extended the invitation." Kyrie had to say things about supporting the T-shirts, " I think it's really important that we show our respect to the families. More importantly we're in the city where the tragedy happened and it's really important to us that we stand up for a cause, especially this one. It hits close to home and means a lot to me." LeBron had to more to say after the 110-88 victory, "It was a message to the family. That I'm sorry for their loss, sorry to his wife. That's what it's about. I think everybody else gets caught up in everything else besides who's really feeling it, and that's the family. That's what it's about." NBA Commissioner Adam Silver had to say this about players wearing the T-shirts, " I respect Derrick Rose and all of our players for voicing their personal views on important issues but my preference would be for players to abide by our on-court attire rules." Players are required to wear attire of Adidas, the leagues official apparel provider, but a league source told ESPN's Jeremy Schaap that the NBA will not fine players who wore the shirts in warm ups. Outside Barclays Center, a couple hundred protestors chanted and participated in a "die-in" in front of the main entrance to the area as members of the NYPD looked on and helped secure the area. Their chants included "I Can't Breathe! I Can't Breathe!" and "No justice! No peace! No racist police!"

Cleveland Hosts 2018 All Star Game

According to Dime Magazine the Cleveland Cavaliers have placed a bid to host the 2018 NBA All Star Game. If you do not know what the NBA All Star Game, it is hosted in February. It is when the NBA players have a break for a week and call it All Star Week. They have the Rookies versus Sophomores, Skills challenge, and All Star game. The All Star game is where the NBA fan base votes for their favorite players to be a game East Conference teams from any team versus the West Conference players on any team. When LeBron was asked what he thought about Cleveland hosting the 2018 All Star Game he said this, "It would be too much for me, it would be too much for me. I think it would be great for us to host it, but hopefully I'm no good in that if we get it. I don't want it. My family, friend, I don't want it. Too much." LeBron was smiling and speaking in a sarcastic, exasperated tone when considering the rash of appearances and ticket requests the game would inevitably put on his plate. LeBron would be 33 years old when the time comes if Cleveland does host the All Star Game. We would just have to see if LeBron is still capable of handling the game when it comes time for carrying Cleveland from the previous years.

Kyrie Irving Unveils First Nike Signature Shoes

Today December 3, 2014, Kyrie unveils his first Nike signature shoes. According to Slam Magazine it was designed by Leo Chang, and the Kyrie 1 was built to match the speed and quickness of one of the game's best point guards. With pinpoint responsiveness thanks to Nike Zoom Air in the forefoot, a dynamic traction pattern wrapping the shoe's sidewalls and breathability in the Hyperfuse construction, all in a mid- cut silhouette, the Kyrie 1 is built for premium performance. It also has personal details, like the number two on the upper heel, Irving's signature on the inside of the tongue, and the jagged edge pattern on the heel counter inspired by Sydney Opera House in Irving's homeland of Australia. And, per Nike, the acronym "JBY" that sits beneath Irving's new logo on the outsole that stand for "Just Be You" a motto that Irving hopes inspires kids as they establish their own unique identities. The Kyrie 1 will debut in two color ways black called "Dream" on December 23, and "Deceptive Red" on January 10 for a retail price of $110. By the looks of these shoes, I have to get my hands on a pair of these shoes. Pictures below:

New Jerseys

This has nothing to do with LeBron or the Cleveland Cavaliers, but I would like to blog about the new jerseys my basketball team got this week on Monday. We have not bought new jerseys for like 8 or 9 years. Thats a long time wearing the same old jerseys. Our old jerseys were our school colors red, black, and white. Our home jerseys were white of course, and our away jerseys were black. This year is a change though, our away jerseys are red. That may not be a big deal to you people around the world, but it is big deal to my teammates and I. This is a privilege to us. We raised money for these jerseys, spending our own money for fundraisers so we can make more profit off of what we are selling at our fundraisers. The whole starting five on the team received both home and away jerseys personalized with our names on the back. That was also a big deal to us, because it is such a pride to have your name on a jersey for a team that you actually play for. This is my fifth year on the high school basketball team I joined my eighth grade year. Having my name on the back is such a thrill and joy. The starting five also had thew choice to choose what number they wanted on their jerseys, and I chose number twenty this year because it was one of my uncles number from when he was in high school. This friday, December 7, 2014, we are going to have a game first one of the season and if the team has the grades to play we will wear the new jerseys. Our coach said we can wear these jerseys when ever we want for the ones who received their own customized jerseys once we show them off in a game. They are not all fancy looking jerseys like the NBA's, but they made from good material that includes drifit, and Square net. We ordered these jerseys from Allens Sportswear and we got a deal on them, because it was a big order. I forgot to mention. The people who had their jerseys customized had to pay 128 dollars out of their own pockets. In my opinion, it was worth the money. Here are some photos of the jerseys front to back home and away.

Tristan Thompson on his role as a Cavalier

Tristan Thompson number 13, power forward for the Cleveland Cavaliers who is only 23 years old is a young player with quite some talent. Tristan Thompson is 6 foot 8 and 225 pounds is averaging 24.8 minutes per game and averaging 10.6 points per game,Along with 8.4 rebounds per game. Thompson played in 16 games for the Cavaliers and started for one game. So, he mainly comes off the bench and is a big factor off the bench along with Dion Waiters. We heard what Dion had to say about his role for the Cavaliers, but this is what Thompson had to say about his role, "Basketball is basketball, it doesn't matter if you're starting or coming off the bench. You have to be ready to play. Once the ball is tipped you have to be locked in and be ready to play. Come in with the energy and the defensive mindset." Thompson is a player who cares about winning, but not about his own personal stats it seems like. This is a type of player LeBron wants on his team. Thompson does not care that he comes off the bench or he starts, it all comes down to winning and winning championships. That is what most teams mindset is, but they have players who just want to put up numbers on their stats and do not care about winning games. We've all seen that is how Kyrie started off, but he has grown to playing with a new Cavaliers team with LeBron and Love. It is great hearing this from a young player because most young players want to just play for stats. Respect to Thompson and hope he can stay healthy this season so he can come off the bench or start when ever he gets the chance to for Cleveland. This is a player kids should look up to. So what if he is not hitting threes like Stephen Curry or scoring a lot of points like Carmelo Anthony or Kobe Bryant. This a team playing guy.

Kevin Loves Future Plans with Cavaliers

Kevin Love had rumors flying around the league when Cleveland had their struggles that he would already want to opt out of his contract when free agency begins. Kevin released a statement like a week later when that rumor was going everywhere saying that he was not opting out and the rumors we're false. Today in a statement according to Cavaliers Nation this is what Kevin Love had to add on to his future with the Cavaliers," Since I was traded to Cleveland during the summer, I said since day one I'm a Cleveland Cavalier long term. I plan for it to be that way, and I want to grow with this team." That is great news for Cavalier fans and horrible news for teams that were hoping Kevin Love would of opt out of his contract during free agency. This does not mean he could not opt out once come free agency when time comes. It is just him stating that he wants to grow with the Cavalier franchise. Anything could happen. If he lives up to this statement that is great news for die hard Cleveland fans and not "bandwagon"fans who came back to Cleveland because LeBron returned. Bandwagon fans are people who join others in doing or supporting something fashionable or likely to be successful. Great news for Cavalier Nation and organization hearing this from Kevin Love. LeBron is not going to be in the league forever so, this could Cleveland's new face of the franchise once LeBron is done playing. We're just going to have to see if Love will live up to his word, and if the Cavalier organization won't trade him like they did young rookie star Andrew Wiggins for Love. Anything could happen at anytime. Time could only tell honestly. This is great news now for Cleveland Nation and organization because Cleveland has a "BIG 3" for quite some time.

LeBron Teaching Rookies in the League


        LeBron is known for his great sportsmanship on and off the court. LeBron helps and gives some rookies advice for being in the NBA. He tells them expectations of them and how to improve their game for the next step in their career. One of them rookies back in the day was Oklahoma City Thunder's small forward Kevin Durant. Now, this rookie happens to be Jabari Parker. This is what LeBron had to say on teaching rookies like Jabari, "I've always had an open door, open phone policy for guys that want to learn about the game and what it takes to be a professional, more than anything, both on and off the floor. So, I've always been that guy."Knowing that LeBron has the highest basketball IQ in the league today out of most NBA player like Kobe Bryant who is still playing in the NBA to this day. Rookies should take LeBrons' advice and not take it for granted. Other rookies that want to know more of the game they should consider talking to LeBron when he could take their phone call or talk to them in person. LeBron is open to them and LeBron is known for being the Greatest Player in the League today also.

Cavalier Versus Knicks Expectations


      Cavaliers are on a four game winning streak and their next game is versus the Knicks. The game is tomorrow Thursday, December 4, 2014 at Madison Square Garden @ 4PM televised on TNT and FSOH. Take note that this is the team that defeated the Cavaliers on their season opener. The score from the season opener and the last time this new Cavaliers met the Knicks, the Cavaliers fell to defeat the score was 95-90. LeBron had 17 points shooting 5-15 from the field and had eight turnovers. Kyrie Irving had 22 points and Kevin Love added 19 points along with 14 rebounds.  I'am quite sure that we are going to see a different LeBron and Cavaliers team this time. Now that they have more playing time, chemistry, and feel for each other this season since last meeting the Knicks this season. The Knicks during the game opener did quite well with their star Carmelo Anthony scoring 25 points with Iman Shumpert and Jason Smith having 12 points a piece. Carmelo is coming back from back spasms so lets see how he will compete against LeBron this coming game. It will not only be the starting five from both teams to contribute this game. Both teams will need their bench to put in work. Last game the Knicks bench outscored the Cavaliers 41-12. That was some horrible stats from the Cavaliers. After the Knicks won the game in October this is what Knicks star Carmelo Anthony had to say, "Everyone expects it to work automatically, it's going to take some time. It took time in Miami for him. He'll figure it out. I don't see anything that they won't figure out." LeBron had to say this after the game in October after the loss to the Knicks, "It was one game, and we've got to learn from it." Both teams are struggling in the season a bit. The Cavaliers record is 9-7 better than the Knicks whose record is 4-15. The game could go any way for each team. It just depends on which team can get the lead early in the game and if they can keep the lead going in the second half. After halftime it seems like when the most competition comes out from each team. It comes down to who wants to win the game more and if they can play as a team. It should be a great game Thursday when these team meet again. The Cavaliers most likely want revenge on the Knicks after losing their game opener of the Season in the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. I advise Cavalier fans to tune in a watch and compare how they played against the Knicks this time from when first played them in October. It will be a different Cleveland team without a doubt.

Cleveland Versus Bucks


      Last night December 2, 2014 Cleveland Cavaliers won their fourth game in row against the Milwaukee Bucks. The final score was 111-108, sure as a close game in the Quicken Loans Arena. Kyrie Irving lead the Cavaliers with 28 points along with six assists. Kevin Love had 27 points along with 10 rebounds. LeBron had 26 points along with 10 assists. LeBron had a double double game so did Kevin Love. The Cavaliers are now 9-7 which makes them over the 500 mark of win to lose ratio. The Cavaliers been averaging 103.8 points per game with letting the opposing team average 99.9 points per game. Their home record is 6-4 and their road record is 3-3 and on a four game winning streak and are 6-4 in their last ten games. The Cavaliers are now 12-1 at home versus the bucks when it comes time for these two team to play each other. The Cavaliers next game in on December 4, 2014 versus the Knicks. The team who beat Cleveland on their game opener. Should tune in for that game because it is going to be a great game. Cleveland without a doubt wants revenge for making them lose their first game of their season at their home town.

LeBron James: "We Need Balance" in Latest Win



      Cavaliers are on a three game win streak, but that still does not mean the Cavaliers are quite on the same page says LeBron. LeBron had to say this after the Cavaliers win versus the Indian Pacers. "We're going to have games like that, and we need it, we need balance. We're going to have guys that lead in points or in rebound or in assists, whatever, on different occasions. Every game presents different challenges and for us, I'm not one to really care about if I'm the leading scorer or whatever the case may be. I'm out there making plays to help our team win."In the previous three game winning streak LeBron scored 32, 29, and 29. After coming into Saturdays game, LeBron was averaging 31.6 points in Cleveland's seven wins and 19 in seven losses. Against Indian Kevin Love dropped a season high 28 points and 10 rebounds, and Kyire had 24 points and a career high tying 10 rebounds. This is what head coach Blatt had to say after Saturdays win, "That will serve us well going forward, we hope to get his (LeBron) minutes cut down this year, and I think so far on average we're meeting that, but it's only because of games like this where we play well enough that we can take him off the floor and give him the chance to rest." More wins with less stress for James is a good thing for being 29 year old whose body is older from beating of the play offs and olympic tours.

LeBron Position


       LeBron does not see himself as a small forward according to Cleveland News. What is his position on the court? He is an all around player. He could play all positions on the floor. If you do not know anything about basketball positions the positions are point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. LeBron is capable for playing all positions. LeBron is 6 foot 8 inches, and weighing around 250 because we do not know his current weight. He will not tell anybody. LeBron has the vision of a point guard, the body of a power forward, and the quickness and moves of a shooting guard. But, he is listed as a small forward. LeBron said, "I don't have a position, I'm just a ball player. Put me on the floor and I'll make something happen." LeBron said to Northeast Ohio Media Group when they tried asking if he had a natural position. LeBron is a triple double machine, and we all know that. LeBron is named a "Triple Double Threat" and not many players are considered that. LeBron had to say this about him being a "Triple Double Threat." "I have no idea. I have a gift and I try to use it as much as I can to my advantage and I work on it. I work on my game. You guys see me every day. I stay after practice. I've tried to be a triple threat being able to score, pass, and rebound. Whatever the case may be to help my team win." LeBron has recorded 38 triple doubles during his career, which makes him seventh on the all time list. He has the most of any active player. LeBron spent most of his time watching Jason Kidd former NBA player who was a point guard for quite a few teams. LeBron had to say this about Jason Kidd, "He was a complete basketball team player, he was always about the team and never about 'I' with him. Growing up watching him and then being a teammate with him on the '08 Olympic team, it showed why he was one of the greatest point guards, one of the best leaders to ever play this game. It was great to be alongside of him,"

Dion Waiter 6th Man of the Year


         What did I tell you people? Dion Waiters coming off the bench is A great opportunity for him to win the 6th Man of the Year. I think he is willing to accept his new role on the Cavaliers as being the sixth man. This is what Dion had to say about him having the opportunity to win the sixth man of the year award, " I would be very grateful, thankful for the opportunity." Waiters told Northeast Ohio Media Group. " I've just got to keep doing what I'm doing. Hopefully we can keep wining and I'm able to walk away with it." "Im a leading scorer on the bench, I'm leading scorer in the starting five," he said with a dead serious expression on his face. "It doesn't matter. You know what I'm saying." Since taken out of the starting line up that included LeBron, Kyrie, Love, and Anderson, Dion has been averaging 12.2 points off the bench. That is 9th in the league of players who come off the bench. Currently Jamal Crawford who won he 2013-14 Sixth Man Award is in the lead with 19.0 points coming off the bench. Waiters I'm pretty sure in everyones eyes who watches the game of basketball has not matured enough to win the Sixth Man Award. If he wants to win the award this is where Waiters needs to take the time to listen and learn from his teammates. Waiters has a lot of confidence of winning this award, but it takes more than confidence. He is talking the talk, but he is not walking the walk. It is up to Dion to actually win this award if he wants to, but he needs to get rid of his cocky attitude and realize that he can not just talk, he has to prove himself in the league.

Bye, Bye Chalk Toss


           Well, it did not last long people. LeBron has ditched the chalk toss pre game ritual. According to Business Insider,"The loss of the chalk toss may have just been a message to his teammates that he is just one of them, some of the other changes may be impacting the final scores." LeBron also ditch his rigorous pre game and body maintenance routine and instead is participating in the pre game shoot around with his teammates. The pre game shooting may be helping LeBron to be more aggressive earlier in game, noting that he is now averaging 11.3 points in the first quarter and the Cavaliers were leading by an average of 10.3 points at the end of the first quarter during the Cavaliers 3 game win streak according to Vardon. LeBron is taking less shots, but he is scoring more due to attacking the basket aggressively and shooting more free throws. These moves to the basket are not only benefiting LeBron, but is benefiting the LeBron's teammates opening up outside shots. LeBron's assists went up from 6.8 per game to 8.7. Making simple moves like putting the ball in LeBrons hands, and knowing how effective LeBron can be cutting to the basket, that could leave Kevin Love, Kyrie, or Waiters open for an easy three. LeBrons has improved offensively, but also defensively. LeBrons steals per game has doubled. Most important is that LeBron has stopped imploring his teammates to do the things teams need to do to win and now is just leading by example.

Paul Pierce on LeBron James


      Paul Pierce who came in the league before LeBron had some words to say about LeBron. Before I get to what Paul Pierce said. I have a few statements and history between these two players. It started a while ago. LeBron was playing for the Cavaliers before they had Love or Kyrie. LeBron was always beaten by Paul Pierce and his Boston Celtics team. The Celtics were always like the "Big Brother" to the Cleveland Cavaliers when it was just LeBron running the team under horrible coaching. LeBron alway fell short against the Celtics in the playoffs. In the 2009-10 Season LeBron left the Cavaliers to South Beach after falling to Celtics in the playoffs. Even when LeBron went to join Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in South Beach the Celtics were still the "Big Brother." Paul Pierce was always a rivalry for LeBron. Paul Pierce never let LeBron win easily. LeBron never let Pierce win easily also. NBA fans should know that. This was the rivalry everyone wanted to watch. Pierce had built superstars like Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo. When the Celtics played whatever team LeBron was on either the Heat or the Cavaliers it was like they hated each other. They played intense and each team wanted to win badly. But, you get the point that I am trying to make. Now, this is what Paul Pierce had to say about LeBron James, "I think a lot of it is really misunderstood. If I see LeBron walking down the street, it's not going to be no fistfight. I've got a lot of respect for him. It's like fighting for the same girl. How am I going to be cool with that guy? I've got total respect for him as a person. It's just the thing we go through on the court." These two have respect for each other and both are going to be Hall of Famers for sure. That is without a doubt. It is still kind of a rivalry when these two meet during the season or playoffs. They never doubt each other and know it is going to be a tough night guarding each other. So, if you never saw Paul Pierce and LeBron rivalry then you should watch when these two meet. If you do not think they are any where close to being on each others playing level then Youtube the history between them. You will see.

Kevin Love Bettering Himself


       Kevin Love. The player who came from the Timberwolves traded to the Cavaliers lottery draft pick Andrew Wiggins. Most Cavalier fans liked the fact they traded someone young for Kevin's years in the NBA and basketball IQ. Kevin has not yet been to the NBA playoffs though. Which may run across your mind that it is basically the same type of player that Andrew Wiggins is, besides that Love is not a rookie. He is a three point shooting big man who can crash the boards and give you better numbers than Wiggins probably could. But, what makes Kevin Love a better player and a fit for the Cavaliers roster? Let me start by saying that he is a power forward, three point threat, and who will crash the boards for you every night. That is not the only thing though. He is also staying healthy by eating right. Kevin Love is recently dieting on low carbs diet something similar to LeBrons diet. Sports Illustrated went in Kevin Loves fridge and saw what he had to eat and asked what he eats before and after games. What Kevin Love has in his fridge is mainly protein and starts off his morning with a organic eggs or egg whites. Then after he eats grilled chicken to absorb protein and build muscle. Love also puts in mixed fruit two or three times a day with his meals. Love also loves his mothers cooking which everyone practically can not say no to a mothers cooking. His fridge also has plenty of bottled water or his favorite sports drinks which is BodyArmor. Which helps you refuel and get the right electrolytes and vitamins. Sports drinks are healthier than soda and other carbonated drinks, but it still does not beat water if you are trying to lose weight. Sports drinks have sugar in them and that will still keep you at the same weight or make you gain if you drink sports drinks constantly just because player like Love do. Kevin Love has a pre game meal which includes concoction of shredded wheat topped with almond butter, jam and applesauce with a cup of coffee. Coffee has caffeine and could slow down your running, believe me it really does considering that I am A basketball player myself. After game meals he eats Salmon filet or white fish, veggies and a protein shake to recover from games. These high protein meals with help with healthy muscle recovery. This is what Kevin Love is doing off the court to better himself. After last nights loss to the San Antonio Spurs Kevin Love said, "Both ends of the floor, I think I need to step up." We are watching Love grow into a player than he needs to be, better than the player that people saw in Minnesota.

LeBron Talking About The Cavaliers This Year


          The Cavaliers are struggling yeah. Their current record is 5-5. Which keeps their percentage at .500. What are you expecting to see though? Win after win? This team has young talent, not what Miami had. They have young talent. Kyrie being the type of point guard who wants to score more than pass the ball. All young players are going to worry about their numbers instead of winning games. That is how the game evolved into. I am not trying to put down Kyrie, but we all know he can score, but can he pass? I am off my topic a bit though. LeBron was asked A question about the Cavaliers for the 2014-15 season and this is what he had to say, " This is more challenging than me trying to win my first championship... I've taken on the burden of leading young guy, getting them to understand what it takes to win. And it takes more than just basketball. It's about being a professional, not having a sense of entitlement, being grateful that you're a part of this league. Those things have a lot to do with winning." This is LeBrons way of expressing what he has to do as the leader of the team to change each individual mindset on the Cavaliers roster if they want to win. All players talk about now days is winning Championship and getting rings, but they never do what they say they are going to do. They worry about their numbers mainly. It is about how much points you make, and breaking records. LeBron may have high scoring games, but he does not plan it. He just goes out there and let's his game and flow of the game speak for itself. LeBron is a true leader and we all know that. Will his team commit to that, and believe LeBron? A person who has been to the finals more than a majority of the players on the Roster now. Mike Miller, James Jones, and Anderson Varejao have been to the playoffs. Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love, Dion Waiters big names like that on the team have not been to the playoffs. It is time for the Cavaliers roster to grow up and listen to the Veterans on the team if they want to win Championships.

LeBrons Costly Turnover


         Last night, on November 20, 2014, people all around the world maybe saw the two teams for  2014-15 NBA finals. The Cleveland Cavaliers and The San Antonio Spurs had a pretty close and intense game. Leads were changing each quarter, it seemed like no team could keep a lead. Yeah, each team may have had the lead by certain amount of points, but they caught up by the end of each quarter. You have to admit it was a close game all the way down to the wire. What cost the game for the Cavaliers though was LeBrons last second turnover. LeBron had the ball in his hands with at least 5 seconds on the clock and we all know he was not that good of a ball handler with fancy moves like Kyrie is. LeBron tried to dribble the ball behind his back and lost the ball. Tim Duncan was the defender during the time. LeBron and Duncan were on the floor diving for the ball once LeBron lost it. Duncan ended up getting it and passing it to his teammate Manu Ginobili. Manu used the clock and the Spurs ended up winning the game by 2. The final score was 92-90. It was a good game overall doesn't matter who won. The Cavaliers big 3 just need time to get their chemistry together. The next Spurs and Cavaliers that is going to be the number one game on my list to watch.

LeBron Named Eastern Conference Player of the Week



          LeBron was named the Eastern Conference player of the week from November 10 through the 16th. This is not a reward like the MVP or Sixth Man, or Defensive Player of the Year. This is just a reward or just a showing from the league that LeBron has been performing great for the past week. This is not a new reward for LeBron, this is LeBrons 27th time earning the honor of being Player of the week. LeBron had some MVP stats this past week. His numbers were 35 points per game shooting .594 percent from the field. Perfect .500 percent from behind the arc. He grabbed 7.0 rebounds per game, and 7.7 assist per game and 1.0 blocks per game in 36.7 minutes per game. Those are really some MVP stats. This may be his statement that he is hungry and coming for the season Most Valuable Player award. LeBron almost had a triple double if the league did not cheat him out of it, and scored more than 30 each game. Not to mention he 41 point game versus Boston on November 14th. For the Western Conference player of the week, that went to Damian Lillard from the Portland Trail Blazers.

Rick Ross Has Money Against LeBron



       LeBron went back home to Cleveland this summer which we all know is old news. Here is some new news. Rapper Rick Ross has a bet which involves money at the amount of $100,000 that LeBrons former team the Miami Heat will have a better win to lose ratio than the Cleveland Cavaliers. Rick Ross was seen at Miami Heat games for the past years when LeBron was on the team. Rick Ross must be a die hard Miami Heat fan, and did not like the fact LeBron left to return back home. This is criticism that most celebrities will make if they do not like the loyalty of a player. It is typical news. Rick Ross has money on the line that Miami will have a better win to lose ratio and time will only tell if anyone wants to challenge his bet. Right now the Cleveland Cavaliers ratio is 3-3 and the Miami Heat who have been doing tremendously well this season without LeBron that their win to lose ratio is 5-3, that makes them the second best team in the NBA as of right now. Time can only tell and if the two teams could stay healthy. The amount of games is 82 in the season, so anything can happen. The Cavaliers or the Miami Heat probably do not have to make the playoffs to have an affect to the bet Rick Ross has currently made. Honestly this is just fans being fans and trying to down talk a team or a player that has left their team. This has been in LeBrons career numerous of times. When he left Cleveland, he had so much criticism that was pretty harsh and rude, but did not affect how LeBron plays the game of basketball. It just shows you that the game of basketball is stupidly competitive. Not players, but people that are die hard fans for any team.

Kevin Love Wants to Opt Out During Free Agency



          Cavaliers bad start was a tough time for the Cavaliers, but their current standing record in the NBA Eastern Conference is 3-3 which makes them 500 or fifty percent. This means they are fifty percent with winning and losing ratio. This ratio allows them to compete in the NBA Finals. The team with the best winning ratio will be the first seed in the playoffs and allows them to have home court advantage first. If teams are under the 500 ratio will not be a contender in the finals unless other teams have a worst ratios than a certain team. Besides all the ratio explaining, rumors have been flying around that when free agency comes for Kevin Love which is during the off season. Rumor has it that Kevin Love is strongly considering to test free agency when it comes time. For Cavalier fans we do not know what to think. It could be true or it could not be. It is too early in the beginning of the season to believe. Rumor reports that Kevin Love wants to opt out and the Los Angeles Lakers are considering to sign Love if he does test free agency. Opting out of a NBA contract is that players are allowed to test free agency. The team that the player was currently playing with only has the chance to pursue the players mind to resign with them. They do not have the right to take away the choice of the player to test free agency. The contract that the player sign before signing to a team says they have the right to opt out and test free agency when it comes time. Players could ask for trades and they have the right to ask the teams manager to trade them and the player could consider which teams and work out a trade for player(s) to work out a deal to benefit each team. If this rumor is true this is making Love look bad for the Cavalier organization. Other teams will try and consider and pursue which player they are targeting to sign with their organization. If Kevin Love opts out and considers signing with the Lakers that means that it was not their bad start to the season though. It has to be player issues or he does not like his role on the Cavaliers. It could also be money. The Los Angeles Lakers have a worse ratio than the Cavaliers. The Lakers current record for the 2014-15 season is 1-6. Which will make it hard for the Lakers to be a contender for the playoffs. Why sign to a team that is struggling worse than the team that you are currently signed with? We do not know if this rumor is true. Kevin Love has not faced media yet to answer if the rumor is true or not. I will have a report on this rumor if it is true or not when Love faces media.

Kyrie and Loves New Handshake


         
         LeBrons stripped triple doubt was not the only thing media has been talking in the social media atmosphere. Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving had a misunderstood handshake with forward Kevin Love. Social media was releasing videos and reports that Kyrie and Love were celebrating their win against the Pelicans with a handshake that involved smoking a joint or something cannabis related. No reporter asked any Cavalier players if Love and Irving handshake involved pretending smoke anything. Media will turn tables against you sometimes. Kyrie was asked about that handshake today November 12, 2014 in a report. Kyrie said the handshake did not involve smoking anything. It was mistakenly incorrect, it was just a wrong camera angle of Kyrie and Love sharpening their mustache. Make it clear once again. It was not a handshake that involving smoking anything. It was mistake for a simple mustache sharpening. NBA players are known for doing crazy handshakes. You can look up on youtube NBA handshakes and I am quite sure you will see some phenomenal handshakes. These handshakes are what kids and teenagers see and try to copy their favorite team and players pre game ritual handshakes. Some handshakes like Kyrie and Loves can be mistaken easily.

LeBron on Dion Waiters



          LeBron is the leader of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and we all know that. He does not only know his role on the team, he knows all the other players roles on the team. What I mean by that is what players need to contribute to the team to make this team successful and win games. Well, recently Dion Waiters has been taking out of the lineup for the Cavaliers. Shawn Marion is now in the starting lineup. So where does that leave Dion Waiters at? Well, here is LeBrons opinion on Dion Waiters and what his new role is. According to Cavaliers Report LeBron said this about Dion Waiters, "For the best of the team, that should be Dion's role. Dion comes off the bench and brings us that scoring mentality but more than that, he brings us another defender off the bench, which we need. Someone that's tough, someone that can guard one through three. It's a new role, but it's a good role for him." That is LeBrons statement on Dion Waiter's new role for the Cavaliers. That is honestly a great role for him. Not all great stars are starters. Most people think to be a star, means you should be in the starting line up. A majority of great NBA players come off the bench. The NBA kind of recognizes that by giving an award to a player called "The Sixth Man" award. It is a player that comes off the bench and plays spectacularly that, that player deserves to be recognized for his talent coming off the bench. Maybe if Dion Waiter does great like he usually does, he will give up a run for the Sixth Man award that Jamal Crawford was awarded last year. Lets see if Dion can expect this new role and still be effective and make a run for that Sixth Man award this year.

LeBron Robbed From Triple Double



        On Monday, November 9, 2014, LeBron was stripped or robbed from a triple double. The Cavaliers were playing against the New Orleans Pelicans, when LeBron was accounted for a triple double. The NBA routinely review videotape to maintain the principal morals of statistics. The league took away one rebound and one assist in third quarter. The one rebound should of went to LeBrons teammate Mike Miller and that one assist to another teammate Tristan Thompson. That would leave LeBron one assist shy of LeBrons 38th triple double. LeBrons original stats were 32 points, eleven rebounds, and nine assists. I do not know if you viewers know what a triple double is, but i will tell you anyways. A triple double is when a play records in his performance stats that he 10 points or more, 10 rebounds or more, and 10 assists or more. That people is called a triple double. Not many players record a triple double in the league and LeBron James was stripped of his triple double Tuesday, November 10, 2014. People were calling LeBron the "Triple Double Machine" on social media. Sorry LeBron fans, I know I am also angered with the league stripping LeBrons triple double ESPN or SportCenter told us that he recorded against the Pelicans Monday night. All is fair though. LeBron did not record the triple double so he did not earn his "38th" triple double of his career.

Who's Taking The Shots?



         Who is making the shots in Cleveland? Kyrie? No, David Blatt is. Yes, the Cavaliers head coach is making shots even though he is not even playing. According to the Akron Journal: Head Coach David Blatt wants James and Love to take the majority of the shots in games. What do you the fans think of that? You see memes of LeBron not being clutch at all because he has lost games in the season and games in the play offs. They always say he passes the ball during clutch moments. Is that true? I honestly do not know what to think of that? I think LeBron is just an all around player. He does not want to just take shots, he wants to share the ball. What is wrong with passing up shots? Never mind that though. Coach Blatt wants LeBron and Kevin to take a majority of the shots during games. Do you think Kyrie and Dion can live with that if they want to win games? Or do you think numbers are more important than winning for these two young stars? Shots are being made on the coaches side, but can shots be made on the court? Let's see if things can work out and no problems will occur for them with Coach Blatt making these decisions. This may just work or it just may cause more problems.

This Is Where Leadership Comes.


       
           With the Cavaliers struggling who do we all look to blame? Kyrie? Love? No, most of the people decide to blame LeBron James. He is the player with the play off experience and has two championships. Those championships may have not been in Cleveland, but he is still a champion and Finals MVP! LeBron is the leader no matter where he goes. LeBron needs to be the leader where ever he decides to play. Cleveland needs to recognize that. LeBron released in statement saying this, "I'm just trying to do other things. I'm trying to instill what it takes to win. My mission is not one-game thing. We have to do multiple things in order to win. We have to share the ball. We've got to play defense We've got to sacrifice in order to ultimately win. Obviously, when you're going through the process, it's not the best part of it. But I'm looking at the end of the tunnel." I think that is real leadership. He is the only player that shows leadership and talking to the players. I do not think Kevin or Kyrie would do that if LeBron did not have the leadership that he has now. Is this bad start in LeBrons hands? Is it just his fault? The coaching staff? No, it is a team effort. You can not blame the coach just because it is his first year of coaching in the NBA. They joined as a team to win, they lose as a team and go through the struggle as a team. Give LeBron the respect and leadership Cleveland. He is trying. LeBron is like a Lion trying to tame or teach his young cubs right from wrong. How to be a "King" in this world. Let's go Cleveland, lets improve every game for now on. The rosters joined to win, so time for them to do their parts and get those wins. CAVS NATION!

My Cleveland Predictions



        My predictions for the Cavaliers this year might just piss some of you Cleveland fans off. Or make you think that I am not a real LeBron fan. I really am a LeBron fan, but this is probably straight up facts if you actually take the time to think about it. LeBron had his struggles in Miami right? That is correct.Now, LeBron is having his struggles in Cleveland and why is that? Is it that the team is too young for LeBron? Which is my opinion? Is it because of Kyrie Irving being the point guard? Or is it the coaching for Cleveland? Nobody has a real answer for that question. We can assume what the problem is, but we do not know the real answer. My prediction for Cleveland when they do not reach the playoffs is that Kevin Love will leave the Cavaliers. Yeah, it is his first year with Cleveland, but he wants to win. You think Kevin Love will stick with a team that is not winning? He did not even stick with The Timberwolves. As of right now The Timberwolves would of been a better chance. Do not mind me with my predictions. I am just an angry Cleveland fan right now, and just thinking of the worst that can happen and is happening right now. LeBron needs to find a quick way to get the Cavaliers back in shape before someone does end up trading or the team is going to make trades. People are thinking that the Cavaliers need to trade Dion Waiters. It is just a young team that need to get their chemistry together. I guess things could be worse, but I am a LeBron fan and will be until he retires.

Can This Big 3 Last?


        Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Cavaliers terrible start to the season. But, thats not my point right here. I got a little argument that I would like to discuss with you. Can this Cleveland Big 3 last? Yeah, this is their first year together, it is to early to tell. Well, I can give an argument about that. Miami's Big 3 of LeBron, Dwyane, and Bosh was all in the same draft class. They knew how to play against each other or with each other. It is common sports knowledge. You do not see LeBron playing like Kobe's 96 draft class. Or Paul Geroge's draft class playing Like LeBrons. Each draft class that has been drafted has their own unique chemistry already. Miami's Big 3 lasted 4 years. Their first year making it to the NBA Finals. Can you say this Big 3 in Cleveland can do that? It is a lot of young talent compared to LeBron, Mike Miller, and James Jones. The Cavaliers rarely play Miller or Jones which is stupid as f*ck for them to do. These two guys played with LeBron longer than Love and Kyrie have. I just do not think this Big 3 will EVER have the SAME chemistry that Miami did. For everyone that was excited to see this Big 3, sorry, this is just facts. Cleveland should of just kept their lottery pick so they have something to use as an excuse for a bad start. My point, Cleveland is too young for LeBron.

Cavaliers Season Start


      It is season time, and I am wondering if any Cavalier fans are pissed like I am? This is a horrible start to the season. I see on Facebook, meme's about the Cavaliers new Big 3. All the loyal Cleveland fans that are probably from Cleveland are really defending them. I said it before that I am just a LeBron fan, but I am talking bad about them. This team has no chemistry what so ever. No wonder Ray Allen does not want to come to Cleveland. Cavaliers are playing sh*tty. I heard tempers already flared between LeBron and Kyrie. This Big 3 is going to be a lot harder than Miami's that for sure. Who is to blame for the Cavaliers terrible start? Is it LeBron? Kyrie? Love? or Coach? Most of you are thinking LeBron is the main reason they are doing terrible. You could possible be right, or you can just be the biggest LeBron hater and just always down talk the guy. LeBron is doing what he possible can for this team. He has the talent we all know that. Talent does not always work when team work and chemistry is f*cked. This is going to be A LONG season Cavalier fans. Honestly if this keeps going on, I might have to hop over to Golden State.

Cavaliers Vs Bulls Expectations


      Tomorrow is Halloween, October 31, 2014. Tomorrow is not only Halloween, it is the Cavaliers second game of the season. This is a must win game for the Cavaliers. It is not only because they lost their first game, it is a statement game against the Chicago Bulls. Chicago is one of the top teams in the East Conference with Cleveland. Also, LeBron has some pretty intense games against the Bulls when he was with the Miami Heat. He has had some scuffles with some players on the Bulls team roster, that includes Joakim Noah. The game will be held at the United Center in Chicago. Hopefully the Cavaliers could get the win in the "Windy City." Knowing that the Bulls have their all star point guard back Derrick Rose. This is going to make the game much more difficult. Derrick Rose is no joke for a point guard even though he has be through a series of injuries. You can not under estimate the heart of Derrick Rose. Derrick Rose is hungry for a championship and he released in a interview that he will win a championship. He will, it may not be this season or next year, but he will win one eventually. I am expecting this to be an intense game. LeBron is going to step up to plate since he could not finish things at home today Vs Carmelo and the Knicks. I know LeBron, not personally, but he is not going to let his fans down and lose two times in a row in the beginning of the season. Im expecting a BIG game from LeBron and the Cavaliers. It may be close game and come down right to the wire, but that is also what I expect. It is probably the top two teams in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls are not going to give the Cavaliers the win just like that. Knowing the team they are not going down without a fight. It can go both ways knowing how equally matched these teams are knowing that the Bulls required Pau Gasol and lost Carlos Boozer. All Cavalier fans tune in the game tomorrow and support your team. Cavs Nation! All for one and one for all!

I Promise Bands


      LeBron has a trend going with his LeBron James Family Foundation. LeBron has those little bracelets that say "I Promise" on the band. He released on statement on social media that he is coming out with a new color for the "I Promise" bracelet. The new bracelets colors of the On Court "I Promise" Band Collection is wine and gold. LeBron also said,"I wear these every game to let my kids know I'm playing for them. . . they're MY heroes. #IPROMISE #JustAKidFromAkron." I been wanting to get my hands on this bracelet for a while. I do not like to wear them during games, but I like to wear for appearance out wear. I am pretty sure fans knew these bracelets from 2k15 when LeBron was on the cover. He started the LeBron James Foundation a while ago. He always came back home to Cleveland when he was in Miami to make an appearance for the Foundation. LeBron is a giving man when it comes to his home. Thats why he made the trend with the "I Promise" bands.

Together


       I do not know if anyone else saw that Nike held a little commercial of LeBron and the Cavaliers. The commercial was called "Together." It was a pretty inspirational commercial of LeBron leading the Cavaliers in a team huddle at opening night, but it was not actually at the Cavaliers opening night. It showed LeBron giving a motivational talk to the Cavaliers team about playing for the Cleveland city. People in the audience started huddling with the Cavaliers while LeBron was still talking. LeBron did not only lead the Cavaliers in the huddle, he started to lead the whole city of Cleveland. My opinion I think it was that LeBron returned and he is not only the Cavaliers, he also leading the city of Cleveland and everyone one is behind him every step of the way. The Cavaliers and Cleveland respect the "King" of Cleveland that they trust him and put their faith in his hands. It is a rough start to the beginning of the season, but let us see if LeBron and Cleveland can make their point. A commercial like that, I think you need to prove your point after. Time can only tell what is in store of  the Cavaliers and the city of Cleveland. I am not going to lock in with the faith just yet. Do not get me wrong. I am not a Cleveland fan. I am a LeBron fan. I do not know if I could trust Cleveland just yet to work as one. A lot of talent could go wrong in a split second and players over think things and can destroy team chemistry. Like Kevin Durant said,"Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard."

LeBrons New Baby Girl


      May have been a disappointing loss tonight, but LeBron had a great win last Wednesday with the birth of a baby girl named Zhuri Nova. LeBron has two sons already LeBron James Jr, Bryce Maximus. LeBron quoted, "Its a lot different" when asked about having a girl around the house. LeBron also said, "You give tough love to your boys and soft love to your daughter." LeBrons wife will not be lonely being the only woman in the house anymore. Congrats to the James family on their new family member. Wonder if they will try to have a another kid sometime. Probably not as soon as we expected. Right now, they probably just settling in and adapting to the change of a baby girl in the house hold.

Cavaliers Vs Knicks


    Well, the game opener for the Cavaliers is over. Tough loss for the Cavaliers. New uniforms, new floor, and new scoreboard. Not to mention that LeBron is back and Kevin Love is on the roster for the Cavaliers. LeBron was not on top of his game tonight. He should take back the muscle flex back that he did for his first point as a Cavalier since 2010. LeBron needs to be the leader, do not let Kyrie and Kevin Love do everything. As a LeBron fan I am upset to see him lose in the first game of the season. I will down talk LeBron right now, but I do not have his talent. If I did I would have put the game and my hands and do it for my hometown. I would of been excited and motivated because it was his first game back as a Cavalier. I do not know what to say. It is to early in the season to make any predictions. I hope the team will get their fu**ing heads out of their asses and work as a team. Team work makes the dream work. Look at the San Antonio Spurs, they are a team working team. That is what the Cavaliers need to be successful. Carmelo Anthony lit it up in the fourth quarter with a clutch shot to keep the Knicks in the lead. The final score was 95-90 Knicks. Kevin Love was had  19 points and 14 rebounds. LeBron had 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 8 turn overs. That 8 turnovers killed the Cavaliers in my opinion. Kyrie Irving had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. Like I said it was a tough loss, but more of a disappointing game for Cavalier fans. I expect LeBron to be on the top of his game next time. He has more expectations that how we seen him play tonight. I do not know what to say. I am upset. I expected a blow out, but I expected wrong. Next time I guess, well I hope. Cavs Nation Lets Go! 0-1 so far in the season.

Chalk Toss Is Back!


    LeBron is back and the Cavaliers opening night started already. Cavs are down, but that is not what I am letting you LeBron fans know. Im letting you know that the Chalk Toss is back. Pre game ritual of LeBron James is back. At the looks of it LeBron had the fans all hyped up and excited for the game opener at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. It is good to see the Chalk Toss back as good as it is to see LeBron back in Cleveland. Time to see next game for the Cavaliers to see if LeBron will keep the Chalk Toss ritual going through out the whole season and hopefully the Playoffs if the Cavaliers can make the Playoffs. In my eyes, it is a struggle for Cleveland right now. Maybe it is the Chalk Toss or maybe it is too much talent. I do not know yet. Like I said I will give me opinion on how the Cavaliers did tonight in the game opener and how LeBron played and who won. Should be soon LeBron fans.

Opening Night


       HERE WE GO PEOPLE! Opening night for the Cleveland Cavaliers. I am watching the game right now and the Cavaliers are down three to the New York Knicks. I do not know people. LeBron is not being the player he was back in 2003-2010 Cavaliers or 2010-2014 Miami player. I do not know if it because a new roster with more talent or he is just not feeling it. Hope LeBron will get his head out of his ass and be the player that he is. This is his night I think in my own opinion. His first game home in a Cavaliers jersey since 2010. This is not Kyrie, Love or the Knicks game. It is all about LeBron James. It is a pretty close game so far with 70 to 69 with 9:48 left in the fourth quarter. I will have a recap at the end of the game with who wins and how the Cavaliers did in my perspective. Hope you guys enjoy the opener in Cleveland and look forward to a great season. LET'S GO CAVALIERS!

LeBrons Leadership


      LeBron is known for being the best player on the court today. Some people agree or disagree with what I just said. But, LeBron is also known for his leadership for any team that he plays with. I remember hearing during the Cavaliers Vs Grizzlies game that Kevin Love who is a star on the Cavs. Love said LeBron talked to each player on the roster and told them and asked them what their role on the team was. He personally talked to each player and told them what he wants to see out of them. That is some true leadership in my eyes. You do not see any other player do that besides Kobe Bryant. Great leaders talk with their players and tell them what they expect to see out of them and if they are willing to bring it to the table despite any situation. I expect LeBron to still be a leader this year and maybe his numbers will drop, but that is because it is not all about him. Cavaliers have so well known shooters like Love, Miller and James Jones. Dion Waiters is working on his shot and Kyrie being the Point Guard, but can still score. Also, LeBron back in Miami was the ball handler with Norris Cole and Mario. With the Cavaliers he probably notices that Kyrie and Waiters have handles so, it will be a change in his game. Hopefully it will not be bad to drop his numbers really low. We will see when it come to season time. These are my opinions this year, and knowing that LeBron is a team player. Cavaliers made a big change to their roster, lets see if it will not have a bad impact on the playing style for the team.

Tv Show of LeBron Growing Up on Disney Channel


       Today, October 24, 2014 there will be a life story on Disney Channel of LeBron James. It will tell his life story from a kid to a "King". I've seen his movie More Than A Game documentary. I know some things about his life story and I do not want to ruin that for you people that have not seen anything about LeBrons' childhood to the man he is now. If you are a LeBron fan and have dreams like him I recommend that you watch it. His documentary changed me and made me believe anything is possible if you work hard to get what you want. I have some similarities between me and LeBron, but there are also a lot of differences also. LeBron did not have there greatest childhood, but he made something out of nothing and it is a really inspiring documentary. So, watch his little documentary on Disney Channel today. I forgot what time sorry for that people. We as fans that look up to idols like LeBron should see that everything is not given to these people. They were normal people just like us, but they worked to get what they want. If you want to be inspired, I suggest that you watch it.

Cavaliers Vs Grizzles


      On Wednesday, October 22, 2014 the Cleveland Cavaliers faced off Vs the Memphis Grizzles. The Grizzlies ended up winning the game 96-92. LeBron was DNP due to rest. Shawn Marion was in the starting line up for LeBron. Everyone else played, but LeBron. LeBron played in five starting preseason games despite a minor back injury that has bothered him since training camp. Without a doubt Cavs new head coach David Blatt sat out LeBron for a rest before the season starts up next week. Knowing that LeBron sat out known veterans like Shawn Marion, James Jones and Mike Miller will get some more playing time then usual. I was watching some of the game on TNT. It looked like LeBron was suited up, but players usually suit up even if they do not see any playing time. The team was looking good, but second year player Dion Waiters was forcing shots it looked like for a bit. It was to seem as if he wanted to score more than pass and use his team. It is only preseason and the Cavs still need to work out some differences. When it comes to regular season lets hope that the Cavs players will not only think about their selves, but others as well. We know a group of all stars can score, but the real talent is learning how to play well with each other like LeBron, Wade and Bosh did when they first teamed up in South Beach. All my Cavalier fans, I hope you will be cheering on your Cavs and watch their games. Lets GO CAVALIERS!

Future Problems For Cleveland


      Okay, so this also ran across my mind. Knowing that I am A basketball player. The Cavaliers got a pretty stacked team to win a championship right? The Cavs have LeBron, Kevin Love, and Kyrie Irving. That sounds like a championship team to me when I first heard it. But! Will their style affect them to be a championship team though? When LeBron joined Miami it was LeBron, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh. That was also a championship team and they proved it winning 2 championships in 4 attempts in the playoff finals. Now, that LeBron is back home and was the ball handler in Miami and the Captain. When LeBron left Cleveland they needed a new superstar to carry the team and they got exactly that when they drafted Kyrie Irving as their Lottery Draft pick and he was known as the Cleveland star. He carried the team as much as he could, but it was not effective as LeBron before he left. Kyrie is an all star point and we all know that. If you do not then you should try watching him play. He can also be the best point guard in the NBA today says LeBron in a recent post I blogged about. Now, that the Cavs acquired Kevin Love who was the star for the Timberwolves. How is all this talent going to affect the team generally? Questions been asked if they can pull together like how LeBron, Wade and Bosh did in Cleveland? Or how I heard this saying from my high school basketball coach. Too much talent and not enough basketballs? This is a way different style play then in Miami in my opinion. We can only see when time comes I guess. We are going to have to see when it comes season time and playoff time knowing that LeBron is the only player out of the new Big 3 to make it to the playoffs. Kyrie and Kevin not having playoff experience is that going to be the Cavs weakness when time comes? I do not have the answer to that neither does ESPN, or SportsCenter. I am pretty sure LeBron, Love and Kyrie know it until it comes season time so they can work out their chemistry. Preseason is only limited playing time for these superstars because it is not regular season. Here is the new beginning chapter of the Cleveland Cavaliers Big 3.

Kings Only Get RIcher


       I do not know if you viewers of my blog about LeBron have heard, but LeBron is now endorsing KIA. LeBron is sponsored by Samsung, McDonalds, Nike, Coke and Sprite to just name a few of the endorsements. Now KIA for 66,000 dollars. People dream of having that much money and do whatever it takes to get it if they keep their mind set. People complain about players being overpaid. Is that honestly the truth? In my opinion. I think not. In my eyes they worked to deserve that money and people think it should go to better things. Yeah, it is ignorant to think that, but come on people. Reporters or critics make s*** up about these players sometimes and it starts rumors. I am not saying this because I'm A LeBron fan, but people put him through so much s*** I think he deserves it. LeBron grew up without A father just him and his mother just like I. But, that does not change my argument. LeBron is the best player in the NBA today. Of course NBA fans are going to get what LeBron sponsors. I know I do. Companies pay LeBron quite a whole lot of money just to sponsor what they are trying to sell. Also, LeBron trying to sell his Miami mansion for 17 million dollars. Can LeBron get any richer? In my eyes he can. He deserves it and I would argue over that opinion. He has a whole lot of money to retire right now and it can go to his kids college funds. He also has another child on the way and it is expected to be a baby girl. LeBron, spend the money wisely as you can and all I have to say is do not forget the people that were there for you and do not let money over power you state of mind. It is only paper.

LeBron MVP This Year?


         This caught my attention Facebook the other day and I shared it on my wall. It was a status with information post by King James Fans. It said, " LeBron won tow straight MVP awards in 2009 and 2010, but lost to a young superstar, Derrick Rose who won the MVP award in 2011, then D Rose got injured. LeBron then won two straight MVP awards in 2012 and 2013, but lost to a young superstar, Kevin Durant in 2014, and now Kevin Durant has gotten injured............. Will this mean LeBron will win the next two MVP awards and then lose to a young superstar who will then get injured? What are you LeBron James fans opinions on that statement? I think it is just a superstition. If LeBron does win the next two MVP's I do not think it is because Kevin Durant got injured. I think if he does win it is because he has proven he is the best god damn athlete in the game of basketball and he deserves the MVP award. That is my opinion. I could be wrong who knows what the next NBA season brings or the next. We will just have to sit back and see.

LeBron Plus Shortening Game Equals No! No! For The King


          The talk around the NBA is that they are wondering if they should shorten everything like the season and minutes for players safety. LeBron said he would agree with shortening the number of games in the season according to Yahoo Sports. The King also has a little disagreement with the NBA shortening the minutes to 44. It is usually 48 minutes that is 4 minutes less, but LeBron does not seem to like it. I also seen on Facebook that Dirk from the Mavericks think the season games should be shortened. LeBron said it clearly according to yahoo sports, "It's not the minutes, it's the games." The minutes don't mean anything. We can play 50 minute game if we have to. It's just the games. We all as players think it's too many games in our season. Eighty-two games are a lot. But it's not the minutes. Taking away minutes from the game isn't going to shorten it at all. Once you go out and play on the floor, it doesn't matter if you're playing 22 minutes … or you play 40 minutes. Once you play, it takes a toll on your body. We all know that without seeing the books that less games means less selling of tickets and prices and all of that," James said. "But at the end of the day, we want to protect the prize, and the prize is the players. We have to continue to promote the game and [when] guys are injured because there are so many games, we can't promote it at a high level." Do you agree with LeBron on shortening the number of games? Or would you go with Michael Jordan that made a statement that i saw on Facebook that he disagrees with LeBron and DIrk about shortening the games. I mean LeBron says it all. Look what happen to Paul George and Kevin Durant. It was only preseason for Kevin and not even close to preseason for Paul. I think honestly think games short be shortened at least 20 games.

Cavaliers Undefeated in Pre Season


      Yesterday, Wednesday, October 15, 2014. The Cleveland Cavaliers played another preseason game versus the Indiana Pacers in Ohio at the Xavier college school. The Cavaliers came to play as usual like they have been during their first three preseason games. The stadium was filled with 10,250 people according to the Cavalier news. The 10,250 people witnessed LeBron have a great game for once during the preseason, and I say for once because LeBron has not been putting up any good numbers, but it is only preseason. The people witnessed LeBron look like he was back with Miami or his old Cleveland days scoring 26 points shooting 9-12 from the field. He also added 4 rebounds and 3 assists in his 23 minutes of playing time. Kevin Love was not in such a great shooting night. In the 2nd quarter Love asked to get a sub so he can get out of the game. After halftime Kevin Love did not come out of the locker room with the Cavs and they ESPN said it was nothing big just a sore neck for Kevin Love. Despite losing Kevin Love for the second half even though he was not accurate with his shooting that night. LeBron and the Cavs still walked away with the win and are now 4-0 in preseason.

LeBron Bringing Back The Chalk Toss


        Before LeBron left Cleveland his pre game ritual was tossing up the chalk that players used for grip before games start. When LeBron went to Miami I only saw him do the chalk toss once. His four years in Miami I only see it once. Now that he is back in Cleveland LeBron posted a video to Instagram on August 25, 2014 suggesting that he will bring back the chalk toss. Along with the video LeBron had to say, "I swear I can't wait for this moment again!! #TheLand #PowderFillsTheRoom #StriveForGreatness." People say LeBron stole the chalk toss from Michael Jordan, but what can you expect from LeBron? Michael Jordan was his idol. My opinion I think LeBron makes the chalk toss look better anyways. This pre game ritual was a big thing for Cleveland fans when LeBron would do it before his trade to Cleveland. Now that the "KING" is back the chalk toss might be back also. I've been watching the pre games, but LeBron still has not brought back the chalk toss. What I' am expecting during the regular season is that LeBron will bring back the chalk toss and it is going to bring so many flash backs for LeBron. I feel that LeBron will have A great season this year back in Cleveland. So, LeBron fans watch out for the pre game ritual the chalk toss this year.

Mike Miller and James Jones


      I honestly am like the biggest bandwagon. For real, I follow LeBron to what ever team he goes to. I was a Cleveland fan before he made the decision to go to Miami. I followed LeBron to Miami and I saw these two players that I like from the start that I saw them play. Mike Miller and James Jones are top 3 point shooters. They are underrated for it because they do not take as much shots as Stephen Curry or Ray Allen because they do not have much playing time. I honestly think these two would go down as top greatest three point shooters if they had the opportunities and more playing time. These two hit some pretty clutch shots for Miami and other teams that they played for. Mike Miller with that one shot where he lost his shoe and still made the three point shot for the Miami Heat. James Jones and winning the All Star Weekend 3 Point competition. These two are the most underrated three point shooters in my book and do not sleep on them. They will make you pay if you under estimate their shooting ability.

Flopping


       Okay, I'm A basketball player and what I hate the most about the game is the flopping. We all know LeBron flops and I honestly do not see the reason why he has to flop. He is 250 pounds of pure muscle by now after going on the strict diet. What is the reason to flop? I know if you pretend to take a charge and you can get the possession after. You need to actually take the charge though. Do not sell it by throwing your body in the air, that s*** is dumb. LeBron is not the only on though. There is Lance Stephenson, Manu Ginobli, Tony Parker, and Chris Bosh. There is more players, but these players flop a lot more than player who flop sometimes. Lets just stop the flops and stop ruining the game.

Trades


      So, the season has not even started yet and I saw some news that the Cavaliers wanted to trade Dion Waiters and a couple others for ROY HIBBERT! Come on now! Cavaliers are not thinking smart in my opinion. Hibbert is what 7foot 2 or 7 foot 3 and nearly gave up in the playoffs last year. Cleveland traded away their lottery draft pick for Kevin Love and now a shooting guard for a center? F***ing idiots if they actually do make this trade. Honestly if they do this trade I'm going to Golden State. People that are making the decisions for the Cavaliers must not be thinking right. I hope the Cavaliers keep Dion Waiters because he is a great player and the way he has been performing during preseason so far. Dumb or actually retarded mistake if they end up trading him for Roy Hibbert.

LeBron DNP Vs Bucks


     Yesterday, October 14, 2014 Cleveland faced the Milwaukee Bucks and LeBron did not play. It was not due to injury or anything wrong with LeBron. It was just that LeBron took a rest day. If you watched the game you would of noticed he was in warm ups, but never played any minutes. LeBron is playing it smart I think. He's choosing health over games that do not really count because it is only preseason. We see that a lot of players are getting injured and it is only preseason. Shawn Marion ended up starting for LeBron Tuesday and the Cavaliers won 106 - 100. LeBron will play today versus the Pacers in Cincinnati at Xavier University so do not miss out on that match up between these two. It is going to be a great game and I think will come down to the wire maybe.

LeBron Selling Miami Mansion


        If you are a LeBron fan and you live in Mimai? Buy LeBrons new mansion he is selling for $17 million. That is a lot of money, but it is worth it if you are rich and wealthy. Even if you do not live in Miami go buy it and start living in Miami. It is LeBrons' mansion. 16,000 square fee. According to Nina Mandell the mansion has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an elevator, infinity edge pool (whatever that is), and rooftop sun deck. Sounds like a big house to me and so relaxation. A pretty nice and big looking kitchen. You can easily google this guys. Read more up on it and check out some pictures on the web. I'm to broke for that mansion and plus I'm still in school so that is off my list of houses.

Emotions After The Rio Game


      The Miami Heat Vs Cleveland Cavaliers last saturday had it's moments from LeBron facing his former team to LeBron setting screens on his own teammates. Now its the emotions after the game. On SportsCenter after the game they usually show interviewers asking the players a lot of questions. LeBron said, "For me it was a special moment to be back there competing against my old teammates." "I didn't get that awkward feeling, but a lot of memories came back about things that we accomplished." LeBron did not feel awkward at all just had flashbacks. On the other hand Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said, "If you had to do something like this, I think it really benefits both teams to get the awkwardness out of the way in preseason. There was certainly a level of strangness in it." On the other hand, Chris Bosh and LeBron who use to be great friends on and off the court before the game just shook hands and did not seem to make eye contact. After the game this is what Chris Bosh had to say, "I like the fact that we could get everything out of the way, that we could just come out here for the preseason and kind of let everybody see us. We can move on." Little bit of emotions flying through for both sides.

Ohio State Already Wants LeBron James Jr


       When you hear the name LeBron you automatically think of LeBron "King" James right? Well, if you do not then it is a good time to know the name and remember it. LeBron James is not the only talent to hit ohio maybe. Ohio State head coach said LeBron James Jr will be on his radar when it comes for college recruitment for the 9 year old. At nine years old and he already has a college coach looking at him to be recruited when it comes college time. Lucky boy! Is it because he's LeBrons kid? And the oldest out of 2 soon to be 3? The choice is up to you to decide. Youtube LeBron James Jr and I'm pretty sure you will see basketball videos of him already. Maybe LBJ jr could be better than his father. We will see when time comes.

LeBron Works Out On The Beach In Rio


       LeBron James the fittest athlete in sports today never stops working. Last Thursday morning LeBron went on a run and worked out on Copacabana Beach in Rio De Janerio while unsuspecting beach people watched according to Business Insider. ESPN Brain Windhorst says, "It was like that Nike Commercial where hundreds of people follow LeBron on a run throughout Miami." A few of the Cavalier players joined LeBron at his work out on the beach. Some players that you might know that joined him were Dion Waiters, and Tristan Thompson. Other people that were around were recording videos of the LeBron and the others working out. LeBron had a crowd around them while they were working out. People crowded them just to see them work out on a beach. We all know LeBron is a freak of nature when it comes to basketball. Knowing that age is catching up to him LeBron is going to try and beat father time by keeping in shape and losing weight.

Players Getting Hurt During Preseason


           I know this does not relate to LeBron in a big way, but this has been on my mind. See, LeBron has not been playing much minutes during preseason with the Cavs. Most people like me that are LeBron fans are not happy about that. I know I want to see LeBron playing more. LeBron is playing it smart though I think. All these players are getting injured before the actual season. Rajon Rondo broke his left hand before preseason slipping in the shower. Jeff Green strained his Calf muscle and Nick Young tore a ligament in his thumb reaching in on Kobe in practice and had surgery. Now Bradley Beal broke his wrist missing 6-8 weeks and Kevin Durant fracturing his foot also missing 6-8 weeks. May be it is great that LeBron is playing it smart not over working himself or injuring himself in preseason. Hopefully LeBron can keep healthy until the season and during the season.

LeBron Still Thinks He's Playing For Miami


        In the preseason game in Rio, Brazil there was this one play where LeBron was on defense and former teammate Norris Cole was on offense. LeBron set a screen on his own teammate Matt Dellavedova and it freed his former teammate Norris Cole. The Miami Heat did not score on the possession. The play ended up being an air ball from a Heat player. That play from LeBron will probably end up on Shaq's Shaqin A Fool. Hopefully LeBron knows now that he is not a player for the Miami Heat and will not be setting picks on his own teammates come Christmas time when Cleveland plays the Miami Heat again.
