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.
Kyrie Walking in a Walking Boot
Before even traveling to Rio, Brazil. Kyrie Irving suffered a sprained ankle in a practice on October 8th. ESPN said, "Kyrie was walking in walking boot after practice today." No one really knew what was wrong until Kyrie tweeted, "Just a sprained ankle from practice, in a walking boot for precautionary reasons. Not that serious, I'm all good." Kyrie missed 49 games in the last three seasons according to ESPN. Kyrie did not play the preseason game Vs Miami in Rio, Brazil, but he still traveled with the team.
LeBron and Dwyane Wade Show Some Love After The Game
After the game in Brazil the Tv crew got LeBron and Wade showing each other some love after the game. Greeting each other goodbye and whatever words they had to share. I remember from a long time ago, before LeBron even thought about joining the Miami Heat LeBron and Wade were true brothers. LeBron and Wade had so much respect for one another that LeBron leaving Miami is not going to change Wades perspective of LeBron as a person. Wade may have more loyalty than LeBron, but LeBrons loyalty for Wade will never change even though they are former teammates. You can look on youtube and i remember seeing that if you look up LeBron and Wade Brotherhood they both will tell you their brotherhood and relationship off the court. What is more important loyalty or brotherhood? Most NBA fans will choose loyalty because brotherhood will effect each players play on the court when they face each other. I see it as playing against your bigger brother in a pick up game of one on one and having fun. Thats all it comes down to is having fun. NBA is not about the money even though players are being paid millions and millions. It is about putting on a show for the crowd and having fun doing just that.
LeBron and Cavs Vs. Miami in Brazil
LeBron had his first look at his former team in Brazil Saturday night. It is the preseason and the NBA has been hosting games not only in the United States, but around the world with associations associated with the NBA. Saturday night LeBron played against his former team and walked away with the W in that game. The score was 122 to 119 in overtime. LeBron did not play much he finished the game with 7 points, but his new teammate Kevin Love lead the game with 27 points. This was not about LeBron James, Kevin Love, or Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. This was about both the teams bench. The bench was the one putting on a show for the crowd in Rio de Janerio, Brazil. The Miami Heat bench sent the Cavaliers into overtime after almost leading the entire game until the fourth quarter. Cleveland went up 2-0 in preseason after defeating Miami(0-3). Big round of applause for both benches putting on a show in Brazil.
Former Teammates
LeBron is back home. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! We all know. Is everyone over that LeBron left Miami? Or is Miami trying to be like Cleveland when LeBron left? I don't know how it is all going to go down when LeBron returns to Miami during Christmas. What I do know is that some of LeBrons' former teammates like Mario Chamlers and Chris Bosh is kind of firing shots at LeBron. Mario is saying it is a year where it is going to be different not being powered by that one guy. Obviously he is talking about LeBron James. Mario also said, "Kyrie is going to have to adjust the way LeBron style of leadership." Chris Bosh did not really fire shots, but he has not talked to LeBron since LeBrons decision to go back home. At least Bosh is not talking like Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett did when Ray Allen left to win some more ring joing Miami in 2012-13 season. Are there going to be more shots fired when the season starts? Or are they going to walk ways like LeBron and Dwyane Wade did? Time will only tell.
Why LeBron left Miami
What was LeBrons' real reason about leaving Miami? I been seeing some articles on Facebook on why LeBron really left. They say that LeBron after losing to the Spurs he went straight to working on his body. LeBron is a freak of nature. This includes his weight loss and Miami did not like that he was on a diet that made him lose weight, but he was on a certain type of pill that Jonah Hill was on. The pill did not make LeBron lose muscle only weight and Miami made it a big deal that LeBron was trying to make his body fit knowing that age is catching up to LeBron taking him out of his prime. LeBron not being in his prime motivates him to be a main factor on the court like trying to keep fit and losing weight to make him faster out on the court. That is one of the reasons why LeBron left and knowing how much LeBron his the most hated athlete in the NBA I'am pretty sure that there is going to be more drama about why LeBron left Miami.

LeBron's Shoe Release Date Delayed
Nike informed the world that LeBron's Nike 12's release date is delayed due to small cosmetic issue. The shoes says LRJ.06 instead of LBJ.23(according to Dime Magazine)? LRJ.06 stands for LeBron Raymone James. Raymone is LeBrons middle name just incase you did not know. LBJ.23 is LeBron James number 23 because he switched back to his old number. Is that issue that big of a deal? Do you fans actually care it would say LRJ.06 instead of LBJ.23? I do not think it makes a big of difference. I only care for the support of the shoe, comfort and how the shoe looks(color wise and design). Not no stupid little mistake that people probably will not notice unless they go through and read the whole shoe like some weird people. All i got to say is.. Shake my head. Tiny mistake for a delay.
LeBron's Old Hairline Is BACK
The curse is back! On SportsCenter I'am pretty sure you seen LeBron's hairline is back. What is going on with your hair LeBron? One week it looks like your hairline was perfect for once since he was younger during his rookie days or high school days. Seeing the Cavaliers scrimmage on ESPN or SportsCenter you can't help to notice LeBron's hairline fell back again. No one knows what LeBron's hairline wants. I don't even think LeBron knows what his hairline wants.
Wine and Gold Scrimmage At Quicken Loans Arena
On October 1, 2014 the Cleveland Cavaliers held a open scrimmage game at the Quicken Loans Arena. 16,000 people showed up to get a look at the Cavaliers new time. On the wine team there were some big names Kevin love, Kyrie Irving, Dion Waiter, Shawn Marion, and YES! LEBRON JAMES! The scrimmage was practically teasing the world showing what these group of stars can do. On the gold side, but wore white jerseys there were names like Mike Miller, and Haywood. This was just the Cavaliers team playing against each other. They scrimmaged for 3 full 12 minute quarters. Before they scrimmaged they had a team introduction. LeBron was the last player to be introduced and it was nothing, but love for him. It use to be a lot of boos for LeBron when he stepped on the court at the Quicken Loans. Little more than 16,000 people came to welcome LeBron back and see what he has in store for this years 2014-15 season.
