It did not take too long for someone to start parodying LeBron James’ latest decision. Who would have figured that the person doing the best job of it would be none other than the “White Mamba” himself, Brian Scalabrine: Before anyone cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid raised in Enumclaw, Washington.

Cavs’ LeBron James is known for being a physical beast. While with the Heat, he was like a bulldozer of pure muscle running up and down the court en route to two NBA titles. That was then and this is now. It seems James has been on one crazy no-carb diet and has seemingly lost a […]

“Yoav Borovitch, Globes Online: Do you support the operation? David Blatt, Cavaliers coach: Absolutely. In my opinion, this war is Israel’s most justified war I can remember in recent years.

Surely this is not anything to ponder at great length is it Cavs fans? Or maybe it is. Cleveland’s Andrew Wiggins has been linked in numerous trade rumors involving Kevin Love.

Former NBA player Vlade Divac had emergency stomach surgery recently in his home country of Serbia.
Although reports say it was not life-threatening, the reason for the surgery was not disclosed.
Doctors said Saturday in a statement that Divac was admitted to a Belgrade hospital after feeling “strong pains in his stomach.”
The statement said his life was not threatened. It did not specify his exact health problem.
Divac played in the NBA from 1989-1998, and 1999-2005 mainly playing for the Lakers and Kings.
Divac is one of six players in NBA history to record 13,000 points, 9,000 rebounds, 3,000 assists and 1,500 blocked shots. He retired from the game in 2005.
