So the Cavs Just Traded Everyone Except LeBron and LeBron’s Bigen
I began writing this at 1:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. I’m sharing this information with you just in case, in the time between literally right now as I’m typing this sentence and the time this is actually published, the Cavs also decide to trade Kevin Love, LeBron James’ barber, Tyronn Lue’s suits, a rotisserie chicken…

Collusion? Forget Russia: LeBron James Is Willing to Take a Meeting With the Golden State Warriors
I’m going to need special counsel Robert Mueller to stand down on the Russia investigation and take a look at LeBron “King” James’ reported willingness to have a sit-down with the Golden State Warriors.

It’s a Week Before the Super Bowl, and the Biggest Story in Sports Is a … Draft for the NBA All-Star Game?
Football is still America’s most popular sport. And the NFL our biggest and most popular sports league.

Watch: Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas Rekindle Their Friendship After 25 Years of Pettiness
Decades before LeBron James and Dwyane Wade straddled a floating banana to become this generation’s poster children for BFFs, Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas donned their Daisy Dukes to kiss at half-court before each of their iconic NBA duels. Not only were the two men considered the best point guards of their era (sorry, John…

Did Chris Bosh’s Mama Turn His Texas Home Into the Trap?
No words for this so we’ll just present the facts as we know them. And honestly they seem a little sketchy to this reporter.
