Larry Hughes says LeBron will stay in Cleveland


Larry Hughes is relevant again.. (not really) by bringing up LeBron James' future. Larry reiterated that he thinks LeBron will stay in Cleveland after this year. When asked about LeBron, Hughes said, "He's got a good opportunity to win there. And I knokw a lot of people talk about him playing in a big market, but he just wants to win a ring. It's not about playing in a big market." Hughes and LeBron still talk regularly and has said that James is happy with the direction the Cavs are going as a powerhouse in the NBA. Cleveland fans remember Hughes as an under-achieving, over-paid player that the Cavs paid big money to, when they failed to sign Michael Redd in the summer of 2005. They gave this guy a 5 year contract worth $70 Million! Easily one of the worst decisions the Cavs front office has ever made. The former "Man-of-Steal" is playing for the Knicks this season, but barring unforseen success for either Hughes or the Knicks, (unlikely) Hughes will probably not play there past this year. Maybe Larry Hughes knows what he's talking about, maybe not.. but at least someone in the NBA thinks LeBron will stay. The city of Cleveland desperately needs LBJ. LeBron James is underrated for sure

Cavs lose to Wizards, LeBron DNP

The Cavaliers lost last night to the Washington Wizards, but LeBron James did not play because of flu-like symptoms. NBA.com reported today that LeBron is being treated for the H1N1 swine-flu. This shouldn't worry anybody too much, LeBron will be healthy and back in action long before the regular season starts. Shaq looked legit; He had 13 points, 6 rebounds, and had both a block as well as a steal in just 19 minutes on the floor. Even with those decent numbers, Shaq said, "I don't really turn it up in preseason and just protect myself out there. I'm not going into all my tricks yet. I'm shooting the ball well, feeling loose out there." Good to know Shaq, we look forward to seeing your "tricks" this season as we try to win an NBA championship. The Cavs are now 3-1 in preseason (undefeated with LeBron) and have 4 games left until the start of the regular season. I leave you with a delicious block that Shaq had on Gilbert Arenas. LeBron James is underrated

Cavs vs. Olympiacos

Here's a video of the Cavs destroying an international team from Greece, the Olympiacos. The Cavs looked great and Shaquille O' Neal even jumped ino the stands trying to save a ball. This is just preseason basketball, but the Cavs look impressive. LeBron James is underrated

LeBron and Braylon

Braylon Edwards is an absolute joke. Sunday after the Cleveland Browns game, Braylon and some other offensive players went to a nightclub. He ran into Edward Givens, (one of LeBron's inner circle of friends/business partners) and exchanged words with him. 6 ft. 3" Edwards punched 5 ft. 7" 130 pound Givens in the face and told him that he wouldn't have money, a job, or girls if he didn't know LeBron. Basically Braylon Edwards is jealous of LeBron's fame and fortune, and he took it out on LeBron's friend who is a Clevland marketing promoter. This latest incident adds up to bad timing for Braylon, who was drinking with Donte Stallworth the night of his DUI manslaughter, and was cited for driving 120 mph on the freeway not too long ago. LeBron called it childish, but let's be honest. Braylon is an insecure, overpaid, overrated, under-achieving diva wide receiver who can't catch the ball. The problem for Braylon is he hasn't been good for the Browns, and has consistently dropped more big passes than he's made. LeBron and Everyone else in Cleveland know that Edwards is a shaky receiver on a bad team, but that he would punch one of his friends is messed up. The video below is ESPN 1st and 10 with Skip Bayless, and he makes some good points about Braylon. The NFL and possibly law enforcement will deal with Edwards. He should pick on people his own size, preferably ones that aren't best friends with LeBron James. Braylon Edwards is insecure. LeBron James is underrated

LeBron on Entourage

So LeBron just happened to be in California when they were shooting the season finale of Entourage, and he made a guest cameo alongside Matt Damon. In the episode (it was hilarious) they played themselves and forcibly tried to convince Vince to send them a check to help kids in poverty all over the world. Here is a video of LeBron behind the scenes of the shoot with Jeremy Piven. Enjoy

Mo Williams ready to erase disappointment of last year


Mo Williams did not play in the Wine and Gold Scrimmage this past Saturday held at U of Akron, because he has a mildly strained groin. He seems ready and willing to help erase the disappointing end to the Cavaliers season last year. He talked to reporters about how he thinks he tried to play at a speed that was too fast for his game. Mo admitted, "Looking at the that tape, watching those games, the way I felt in those games.. I felt like I wasplaying at a different speed than I was during the season. Just simple things. If I'm coming off a pin-down, I'm going so fast and not being able to get my feet set, I'm missing those shots I usually make because during the season, I'm taking my time. I'm in rhythm, and all of a sudden I'm just speeding through stuff. I started playing at a different speed and trying to force things. The game was so big, I wanted to do well." Mo went on to say that, "Having that experience, knowing that, if I'm in that situation again, I'm going to be the same person, controlling the game, playing at my tempo.
Looks like Mo is feeling good about this season. Probably playing another year with LeBron has something to do with it. LeBron James is underrated.
