My sports hero is LeBron James from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ever since I grew up he has been my favorite player in any sports I just saw him playing the Nuggets one time and knew he was my favorite player. A lot of people think I like LeBron James just because he’s good its more than him being the best it’s his leadership and work ethic. He is always in the gym striving to be the best player that has ever played the game of basketball. His workouts are insane and he is still putting up above average numbers at the age of 32 which is insane. As a 32 year old man LeBron is averaging 25.9ppg, 8.0rpg, and 8.9apg those numbers are the reason why he is the talk for mvp this year. At this age his numbers are better than Michael Jordan’s which helps my argument that he is the best basketball player ever to play the game. The other thing I like about him is the fact that he is always trying to make the people around him better. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love both play really well because they feed off LeBron’s energy on the court and in the locker room. I read an article that said more player want to go play with LeBron because he wants to win championships he also works on making you better as a player and team mate. Just think of it like this Cavs have signed Derrick William’s, Deron Williams, and Andrew Bogut in the last month or two because they came to win a championship and to surround themselves with greatness. The Cavs as most people know won the Finals last year and barely…
there best interest to take on Joe Johnson's massive contract pairing him with Deron Williams, to hopefully form a formidable backcourt. With Johnson and Williams the Nets finished the season at 49-33, and ended up losing a first round series to the Chicago Bulls. This was not acceptable to Prokhorov as a first round series appearance was not good enough. This led to Prokhorov instructing King to improve the roster and try to win a championship now. King traded the Nets first round draft picks…

It was a blistering, cold evening as my dad and I neared the arena, and rows of cars blocked the streets as thousands of Rockets fans crowded into the parking garage. My first Rockets game was nearing tipp-off, and I was bursting with excitement as my dad and I piled out of his gold colored Nissan Titan. Wearing my white Tracy McGrady jersey that went down to my knees and blue jeans, and having my Rockets banner in hand, we walked down multiple flights of stairs to the bottom of the concrete…
Frye also played and started in place of Love, finishing with 15 points and five rebounds. Entering Wednesday, the Bulls had lost 11 of their last 17 games since defeating the Cavs in Chicago on Dec. 2.

After a competitive game 1, the Cleveland Cavaliers hold the series advantage going into game 2. The Cavs will again host the Detroit Pistons at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday night. The first game was a dog fight between two completely different teams. One being a serious championship contender, the other being a team whom hasn’t seen the postseason since the 2008-09 season. Despite trending in different directions, both teams went back and forth exchanging buckets, but the Cavs came through…
are in desperate need of a franchise player to get them back in the mix." James, like many athletes and their owners, match their success by the championships and not the overall career highlights and the positive economic impact on the cities they represent. The LeBron James team may ultimately put him in line for an NBA title or he might be among other NBA greats including Bob Lanier, Patrick Ewing, John Stockton and Karl Malone and others who never got the trophy. That takes nothing away…
150-point game isn't out of reach for them. "I mean, we could have gotten at least 140 the other night if we only had about 10 to 15 turnovers," All-Star guard Klay Thompson said of Game 2. The Warriors have been as dominant in the finals season as any other team in NBA history. Perhaps the team they resemble most is the Golden State Warriors from 2016. Warriors' Collapse Assured Title For Cleveland Last year, too, the Warriors were the favorites to win the NBA Finals. After taking a 2-0…
