King Lebron James

Lebron James took his talents to South Beach and failed

2011-06-13T11:22:00.002+08:00

The Larry O'brien Trophy.

This is just a very disappointing day, specially for a Lebron James fan like me.

When Lebron made "The Decision" to take his talents to South Beach to team up with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, they made a super team bound to make a run for the championship and the NBA trophy.

And they did make the run for the crown finishing 2nd in the Eastern Conference and dispatching the Philadephia 76ers, Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Playoffs to reach the 2011 NBA Finals.

Meeting them in the 2011 NBA Finals is the Dallas Mavericks, who also carved their way for the crown finishing 3rd in the Western Conference and dismantling the Portland Trailblazers, sweeping the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and shutting the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The series was set with Miami being a clear favorites to win the Larry O'brien Trophy. The series saw Miami leading the series 2-1 but the Dallas Mavericks proved to be a very resilient team as what they have showed in their series against the Blazers, Lakers and Thunder. 4th quarter runs after another, Dallas proved to be a harder nut to crack than they looked.

Dallas' bench delivered when Dirk needed the help. Jason Terry walked his talked as he really needed to back up his mouth. Stevenson, Barea, Marion and Kidd delivering some timely shots and Chandler making stops and taps when needed.

Lebron James had good games but GOOD is not good enough for a man as dominating as Lebron James. If possible, I would have wanted him to dominate the ball almost as much as he dominated the ball in Cleveland, maybe, just maybe, he may have been more effective.

Miami's Big Three (Lebron, Wade and Bosh) still has 5 years left on the 6-year contract they signed this summer. They still have 5 more chances to make a run for the title and if the 2011 NBA Finals was any sign of years to come, it is that Miamis' Big Three needs to bring it every night out and the bench needs to deliver.

Congratulations, Dallas. You deserved it.

Congratulations, Dallas Mavericks. It's your crown now. Hold on tight.

NBA Finals Game 1: Miami Heat Prevails; SHAQ Retires

2011-06-02T12:13:00.001+08:00

Game 1 of the 2011 NBA Finals has started with the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat competing for the Larry O'Brien trophy.

The 2011 NBA Finals is more like a rematch of the 2006 NBA Finals that saw the Mavs going on a 2-0 lead but eventually losing to the Miami Heat in 6 games with Dwayne Wade and Shaq guiding the Heat to every victory. Of course, the 2011 NBA Finals is different with both teams very much beefed up. The Heat (Wade and Haslem left from the 2006 team) and Mavs (Nowitzki, Terry and Barea left from the 2006 team) having made big acquisition for the past 2 years (the Miami Heat revamped only this year with the 2010 Free Agency).

Game 1 saw a battle for every possession with Dallas holding the Heat to 39 percent shooting, Miami’s second-worst showing of the playoffs but the Mavericks shot 37 percent—by far, their worst night of the postseason offensively. Miami also outrebounded Dallas 46-36.

Dallas led 17-16 after the first quarter, which was the lowest two-team output in the first quarter of Game 1 of a finals in the shot clock era, according to STATS LLC. It tied the fourth-lowest total for any finals quarter since 1955, bettering only the 30 points by the Magic and Lakers in Game 2 in 2009, and the 31 posted by the Jazz and Bulls in 1998’s Game 3 along with the Lakers and Celtics in 1969’s Game 4. Due to the defensive intensity, everyone was struggling with their shot. Lebron James was 3 for 6 in the first quarter, while the rest of the Heat were 3 for 15 while half of Dallas’ four first-quarter baskets were 3-pointers by Jason Kidd.

The Heat trailed by eight points early in the third quarter before pulling away, remaining unbeaten—now 9-0—at home in these playoffs and snapping Dallas’ five-game road postseason winning streak. It was a close game until a strong fourth-quarter finish by Wade and James. Dwayne Wade had a highlight alley-oop to James which made the sell-out crowd at the American Airlines Arena go berserk.

Dirk Nowitzki scored 27 points—tearing a tendon in the middle finger on his left, non-shooting, hand during the game and revealing afterward that he’ll likely wear a splint throughout the remainder of the series—and grabbed eight rebounds for Dallas, which got 16 points and 10 rebounds from Shawn Marion and 12 points from Jason Terry.

James scored 24 points for his first win in five NBA finals games (he was swept by the San Antonio Spurs in the 2007 Finals), for the Heat Wade scored 15 of his 22 points in the second half, Bosh scored 19 points and Mario Chalmers added 12 and the Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks 92-84 in Game 1 of the title series on Tuesday night—holding the Western Conference champions to their lowest point total of the playoffs after a dominant defensive showing down the stretch.

GAME 1 on the BOOKS! 1-0 MIAMI!

The Miami Heat is the 2011 NBA Eastern Conference Champion

2011-05-27T12:36:00.001+08:00

11 months after the 2010 NBA Free Agency ended and the "The Decision" was announced, three of the best NBA Players in Chris Bosh, Dwayne Wade and Lebron James agreed to sign with the Miami Heat to form a "super" team destined to make a dynasty and win multiple championships.

The Miami Hear Big Three: Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh

Due to the signing of 3 superstars, even at a lower rate to what their market value was, they were left with little to spare on the salary cap to fillup the roster. Still, Pat Riley was able to sign a good enough team by signing serviceable bigs and good enough ball handlers and shooters. It did not look too good for the Miami Heat as they looked disoriented at the start of the season as they went on a 9-8 win-loss slate and millions of haters to boot.

The Miami Heat was able to gather themselves and was able to finish 2nd in the Eastern Conference with a 58-24 win-loss card. Meeting and dismantling Philadelphia 76ers in the first round in 5 games, they met the Boston Celtics in the 2nd round. Fortunately, the hard-nosed Boston Celtics that we knew this past years were outplayed and outhustled by the Miami Heat and was dispatched in 5 games (they sure miss Kendrick Perkins).

And then the 2011 Eastern Conference Finals came meeting #1 seeded Chicago Bulls spearheaded by current MVP Derrick Rose. In the regular season, the Miami Heat has never won a game against the Chicago Bulls going 3-0. Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals showed how deadly the Chicago Bulls can be with the Bulls winning by 21 points with MVP Derrick Rose and Loul Deng heading the attack and the Big Three shutdown. But the Chicago Bulls' part of the story in the series ended in Game 1 as the Miami Heat took over in the next 4 games.

The Miami Heat is the 2011 NBA Eastern Conference Champion. Next, the 2011 NBA Championships with the Dallas Mavericks waiting for them at the doorway.

2011 NBA All-Star: Lebron James Failed Chase-down Block on Kobe

You cant chase them all. Lebron James tried to chase-down Kobe on a fast break during the 2011 NBA All-Star game. He almost blocked the ball but Kobe does not want to get embarrassed in front of his home crowd, so he flushes it right away before James swats the ball forcefully.

Watch a video of Lebron James' failed chase-down block on Kobe.

LeBron James Throws Alley-Oop to Himself

2011-02-17T21:41:00.001+08:00

After D-Wade hit Lebron James with an alley-oop, which by far is the longest alley-oop in the NBA, Lebron James then throws an alley-oop to himself. Lebron to Lebron!

Who needs your teammates if you can do an alley-oop to yourself? Does that count as an assist, a rebound and points for Lebron?

Wade hits LeBron for a full-court alley-oop

2011-02-16T22:28:00.002+08:00

When Lebron James made "The Decision" to take his talents to South Beach, everybody has expected highlight reels from him and D-Wade.

Well, D-Wade just hit Lebron with a full-court alley-oop during their game against Indiana (Feb. 15) which they won 110-103. Yes, a FULL-COURT alley-oop!

During the opener, injured Celtics Center Kendrick Perkins will not be able to pay as his projected recovery from surgery will be February 2010 but the Boston Celtics also added at center which the Miami Heat still lacks with only Ilgauskas, Joel Anthony and Jamaal Magloire while the defending Eastern champs have signed 6-time All-star Jermaine O'neal and just recently signed 15-time All-Star Shaquille O'Neal.Yes Shaq has signed with the Boston Celtics to a 2-year $3 million contract. If Shaq can regain some lost time, Boston now has a very big FOUR! (On a lighter note, Shaq will be wearing jersey No. 36 in Boston)

That matchup is tastier than your roasted Turkey. In an article in EPN, Ron Artest has said that he will be guarding Lebron, Kobe on Wade, and Lamar, Pau or Bynum on Bosh. That is how deep the Los Angeles Lakers are.

Well, you may be asking? When is Lebron and the Miami Heat going to play the Cleveland Cavaliers? Miami Heat vs Cleveland Cavalier will happen on 3 occasions.

The King goes with the HEAT!

2010-07-09T23:39:00.000+08:00

The King Lebron James is indeed leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and is joining draftmates, TEAM USA teammates and All-Stars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in the Miami Heat.

The new BIG 3 is born and they are Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. Now all they need is to sign a good supporting cast for this year and bump it up more next year and they'll be in for a dynasty.

Maybe the Miami Heat can get back the services of Shaquille O'neal for the veteran's minimum.

Once the new NBA season starts, time to change up this site to make it look more of the Miami Heat since the KING is now with the HEAT!

Where is the KING bound?

“I’m sorry,” he said Sunday, halting the ceremony at the University of Akron’s James A. Rhodes Arena. “But all my teammates, you have to come up here with me, man.”

James joined Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan and Steve Nash on a who’s-who list of back-to-back winners.

LeBron James becomes youngest to 15,000 points

2010-04-07T15:35:00.000+08:00

Lebron James became broke Kobe Bryant's mark by more than two years as he becomes the youngest player to score 15,000 career points. James reached the milestone at 25 years, 79 days, and he did it in his 540th game. Kobe Bryant was 27 years, 136 days and playing his 657th game, according to STATS LLC, when he did it for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Breaking that record, James said, was "very humbling" and the result of all the time he spends honing his game.

"I was born with a God-given gift," he said. "I take full advantage of it by being able to do what I do on the basketball court. Hopefully, I can continue to stay healthy, and hopefully, I'll continue to break records."

More records to break for the King! Hopefully he can win his first of many NBA Championship Throphy this year.

Lebron James not joining the Slam Dunk Contest

2010-01-20T14:31:00.001+08:00

This sure is bad news. Almost everybody wants Lebron James to join the 2010 Slam Dunk Contest. I want to see Lebron James in the Slam Dunk Contest. You want to see Lebron James in the Slam Dunk contes and they want see him in the Slam Dunk Contest too. Lebron James has decided to skip next month’s event in Dallas after originally saying he would participate.

Anyway, Shaq has a better plan to get Lebron James to join the Slam Dunk Contest and this should spark more interest from the fans. Shaquille O’Neal has made a plan to save the NBA’s All-Star dunk contest: Bring back the superstars and do it for devastated Haiti.

O’Neal was asked if he would like to see teammate LeBron James participate in this year’s Slam Dunk Contest. That’s when he offered his idea. He would like to see former dunk champion Vince Carter, Kobe Bryant and others take part along with James.

“As his manager, I will only allow ‘Bron to do the dunk contest if Vince Carter comes back out. If Kobe comes back out and if another big name comes back out. If we could get a big prize and have half of the money go to the people of Haiti and the other half to the winner.

“The guys that are in it, no disrespect to them, but there won’t really be any competition for LeBron. I want to see Kobe. I want to see Vince and I will allow my client to enter.”

Shaq added,

“I’m saying it now, So tweet it. Facebook it. E-mail it and hopefully it gets out. Vince, we’re calling you out. Kobe, we’re calling you out. We’re calling everybody out. If those guys step up in the dunk contest, then I will allow my client to step up.”

I am pro what Shaq wants but they should change the name to All-Star Dunk Contest, not Rising Stars Dunk Contest. They can add in Dwayne Wade in the list too. Also, they can add Shaq for the sake of entertainment.

Let's start a movement. Lebron James in 2010 Slam Dunk Contest movemennt. Who's with me?

LeBron James: The Chasedown Video

2010-01-06T21:29:00.001+08:00

There is a new term on the NBA and some NBA players fear it during a fastbreak. The new term is The Chasedown by Lebron James. You stole the ball from a Cavaliers player, you run down the court and just when you thought you are going to make an easy two, guess what? NOT! Someone is stalking you. Lebron James has chased you down the court and blocked your layup or dunk on the fastbreak.

Yes, Lebron James is not the first person who did "The Chasedown". In fact, Michael Jordan has had major chasedowns blocks on John Stockton (I can't find the video) and another chasedown block on Ron Mercer (and he did this when he was with the Washington Wizards, he was 40 years old).

Lebron James is just doing The Chasedown ever so often that I am personally annointing him The Chasedown King. Here is a video compilation of The Chasedown by Lebron James.

Here is a bonus Chasedown by Lebron James on Jason Richardson. Jason Richardson has been a victim of the Lebron James' Chasedown two or three times. Here is a video Jason Richardson attempting a 360 dunk on a fastbreak. Guess what? Jason Richardson tasted yet another Chasedown by Lebron James. Check out Lebron James Chasedown block on Jason Richardson.

The Cavaliers' Tweets!

2010-01-03T14:48:00.001+08:00

Since the King Lebron James does not have an official Twitter account, I've decided to add up the Cleveland Cavalier's Twitter feed on the sidebar instead of putting Lebron Fans' Twitter pages.

On another note, the The King Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers are currently on a roll. They are currently riding a 7 game win streak. Hope they keep up the streak until the 2010 All-Star Break this February.!

Go Cavs!
