If you are still on an NFL hangover, you may have missed the fact that the Cleveland Cavaliers have completely taken over the NBA.  And no one is more responsible than King James himself. Please check the highlights below (as incomplete as they are).

Skip to the 1:05 mark of the video to see the start of the finishing run with a Lebron fadeaway jumper, the 1:13 mark of the video for a ridiculous catch and pass Alley-Oop to Shaq, and the 1:24 mark of the video for a purely stupid/unfair spinning, fadeaway dagger as the crowd chants MVP.  Take the Jalen Rose analysis as you will (I love his enthusiasm, but I’m not completely sold on his game analysis yet).

By the way, this highlight package failed to show a Lebron driving layup (with 4:04 to go), a completely unguardable, step-back, foot-on-the-3-point-line-jumper (with 2:56 to go), an assist to Shaq (with 2:16 to go), and an outrageous step-back 3 from the wing (with 1:43 to go).

For now, check the link - HIGHLIGHTS (I will embed the video when I find a complete highlight package).

All said, the last 6:19 of the game, which the Cavs entered trailing 97-94, featured 11 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds from the King as the Cavs outscored the Magic 21-10 (and the Magic scored the last 5 points).

Do yourself a favor and look for the full highlights on SportsCenter, ESPNews, etc.  And for those counting at home, that’s 13 straight wins for the Cavs.

Sorry Kobe, you may be a better shooter/clutch scorer, but I’m with LB23.  The Lakers keep rolling without Kobe.  The Cavs roster is mediocre, but the King makes everyone look like All-Stars.  M-V-P….M-V-P….M-V-P.

The new video for Drake’s “Forever”, featuring Kanye, Lil Wayne, and Eminem, is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while for the sole purpose that it consists of numerous Lebron James highlights from when he was a kid through high school and into the NBA. Haven’t gotten hyped like this from a video in a long time.

The song is also featured on Eminem’s, Relapse: Refill, album.

For those of you who aren’t aware, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West was arrested Thursday night on weapons charges.  No, this was a Plaxico Burress, I-shot-myself-in-a-public-place type of deal.  No, Mr. West was minding his own business, riding his motorcycle when he was pulled over in Maryland.  Police found a loaded pistol in his jacket, another one in his pants leg, and A SHOTGUN IN HIS GUITAR CASE, which was strapped to his back.  Really?  Really Delonte?  Good Lord.  Use your head dude - the real world isn’t Hollywood - people can’t ride around like they are in the Matrix, armed to the teeth, and not expect to get caught.

Who are you trying to be, Antonio Banderas??  Life doesn’t necessitate riding around with guns in a guitar case like ‘Desperado’ man.  It’s fairly simple (provided you aren’t a hardened criminal) to get a concealed carry permit in most states - we suggest you look into that after this whole deal blows over.

Best of luck in beating this case - hopefully you are ahead of the game and already have CCW permits for your guns.  If not, prepare to get got in the big house.  Best of luck to you.

I guess Michael Jordan can’t be good at everything.  His 20-minute-plus Hall of Fame acceptance speech (click here for Part One and Two) has met with some not-so-nice reviews from Yahoo Sports and ESPN.

Rick Reilly from ESPN:  “In the entire 23-minute cringe-athon, there were only six thank yous, seven if you count his sarcastic rip at the very Hall that was inducting him. “Thank you, Hall of Fame, for raising ticket prices, I guess,” he sneered. By comparison, David Robinson’s classy and heartfelt seven-minute speech had 17. Joe Montana’s even shorter speech in Canton had 23. Who wrote your speech Mike? Kanye West?”

Ouch.

No, but I do it anyway because it’s sterile and I like the taste. ~ Patches O’Houlihan from Dodgeball

I think we all laughed when we heard that line in the movie Dodgeball.  Apparently, Juan Manuel Marquez took it to heart.  HBO has been following Marquez and Floyd Mayweather in their preparation for their upcoming fight during its latest installment of their Boxing 24/7 series. The weekly show leading up to the fight continues to be one of the best shows on television.  In the latest episode, we were introduced to a strange Marquez training tactic.  And I thought Moises Alou pissing on his own hands was bad.

Check the video for yourself.

Here’s to Floyd Mayweather beating the hell out of Marquez.
