Laura Ingraham’s remarks regarding LeBron James’ political commentary did not sit well with many people, one of whom was Gregg Popovich. After James unleashed his unapologetic opinion of President Donald Trump, Ingraham lashed out at the Cleveland Cavaliers star, claiming that James “shut up and dribble.” For Popovich, who prides himself on being politically and socially conscious, Ingraham’s reaction to James speaking his mind was not one that had any base. “To me, when I heard about that it was just an unbelievable show of arrogance for a talking head to try and tell someone else if they can speak, what they can speak about and ...

Cavs’ LeBron James Doubles Down On Laura Ingraham Comments
LeBron James refuses to back down from Laura Ingraham. The back and forth between the Cleveland Cavaliers forward and FOX News host continued when James commented on Ingraham after leading Team LeBron to a 148-145 victory over Team Steph in the 2018 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday night. “I will not shut up and dribble,” James told TNT’s Charles Barkley when asked if he had anything else to say to Ingraham after his initial response days earlier. “I owe it to my peers, my fans, the youth, and everyone that laid the path for me to get to this point.” James then pointed out the NBA legends in attendance for All-Star Weekend, including Bi...

Why Skip Bayless Thinks Kyrie Irving Is Under More Pressure Than LeBron James
All roads in the NBA lead back to LeBron James. At least it does in Skip Bayless’ mind. And heading into Wednesday’s matchup between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers, Bayless was all-in on his hot takes between James and Celtics guard Kyrie Irving. And his belief Wednesday — a somewhat tepid take by his standard — was that Irving now is under “ten-times more pressure” to succeed than LeBron is. “It was similar to what (Kevin) Durant did with (Russell) Westbrook,” Bayless said on his talk show on FS1. “Kyrie got tired of — I got this from a source very close to Kyrie and I’m going to say it again because I
Cavs’ Isaiah Thomas Fires Back At Notion That Kyrie Irving Is More Clutch
Kyrie Irving has been sensational for the Boston Celtics this season, to say the least. But don’t let his play cause you to forget how great Isaiah Thomas was during his time in Boston. ESPN reporter Chris Forsberg recently published an article about how clutch Irving has been since joining the C’s, and compared his crunch-time numbers to those of Thomas. No harm, no foul. However, the headline on ESPN.com read, “Isaiah who? Why Kyrie Irving is Boston’s new king of clutch time.” Assuming Thomas would have something to say about this, Twitter user Zach Pisani tweeted the photo at the Cleveland Cavaliers guard. Thomas took the bait, and offer... NESN.com
NBA Twitter Had Jokes After Kyrie Irving Trade Finally Was Completed
After more than a week, the deal finally is done. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly finalized their megadeal Wednesday that will send Kyrie Irving to Boston in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, the Brooklyn Nets’ 2018 first-round draft pick and a 2020 second-round pick. And that last part is what all the hold up was about. As you probably know, the deal hit a snag when the Cavs were alarmed by Thomas’ nagging right hip injury and demanded more compensation. And after a few days of posturing and negotiations, the 2020 second-round pick, which originally belonged to the Miami Heat, is what got the deal do... NESN.com
Golfer Roasts Stephen Curry, Warriors With 3-1 Wedge Stamp Before Web.Com Event
The Golden State Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals, and no one is ever going to let them forget that. Warriors star Stephen Curry is set to tee off in his first professional golf tournament Thursday when he takes the links at the Web.Com Tour’s Ellie Mae Classic in Hayward, Calif., thanks to a sponsorship exemption. And while the Warriors handily defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2017 NBA Finals, one of Curry’s competitors on the course isn’t going to let the two-time MVP forget about his team’s collapse from the previous season. Justin Lower is a huge Cavs fan, and he decided to rile up the locals with
Did Khloe Kardashian, Cavs’ Tristan Thompson Recently Get Engaged?
Share this: Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson have been dating for quite some time now, and it appears they might have taken the next step. Kardashian has been open about her desire for the Cleveland Cavaliers center to pop the question, and based on a photo posted on Instagram by BallerAlert, and spotted by BET, he might have done just that. Kardashian was spotted sporting a large diamond band on her left ring finger that certainly could signal the two have some news they have yet to share. 👀 A post shared by Baller Alert (@balleralert) on Jun 25, 2017 at 11:19pm PDT Of course, there’s always the chance this is just one of the many fancy rings Kardashian owns.
