LeBron James firmly stated that he “wouldn’t lose sleep” over the Cleveland Cavaliers’ loss to the Boston Celtics in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals, but the star forward just might have been trying to put on a brave face. Ahead of Saturday’s Game 3 at Quicken Loans Arena, James spoke rather candidly about how he responds to playoff defeats. “I mean, I lose sleep,” James said, per ESPN. “I mean, at the end of the day, when you lose any game in the postseason, (you lose sleep), so it’s never comfort. Playoffs is never comfort. There’s nothing about the playoffs that’s comfortable until you either win it all or you lose a... NESN.com

Why Chris Broussard Gives Celtics ‘No Chance’ Of Beating LeBron James
Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Chris Broussard is hating on the Boston Celtics. Earlier this season, the ever-opinionated (but only sometimes reality-based) NBA analyst said the Celtics, who still had Kyrie Irving, weren’t legit NBA Finals contenders. That take came less than a week after Broussard said the Cleveland Cavaliers’ moves at the NBA trade deadline signaled Boston’s “funeral.” So, with the C’s and the Cavs seemingly on a collision course to meet in the Eastern Conference finals, where does Broussard stand? “I give the Boston Celtics no chance,” he said. Here we go: In Broussard’s defense, it’s toug... NESN.com
Did LeBron James Paint His Living Room Before Game 7 Against Pacers?
LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have worn matching suits multiple times during their first-round NBA playoffs series with the Indiana Pacers. But prior to Sunday’s Game 7, James showed up to Quicken Loans Arena wearing something entirely different, yet no less strange. Check out The King’s spotty arrival in the video below: OK, what are those pants? Here are a few possibilities: — James elected to paint his living room just before leaving for the arena.— He had a seriously unfortunate run-in with a flock of pigeons prior to the game.— Bron-Bron put too much bleach in the laundry machine.— His favorite...

LeBron James Blasts ‘Corrupt’ NCAA; Here’s His Suggested Alternative
LeBron James didn’t play college basketball. But you’d best believe he has strong opinions about the NCAA. The Cleveland Cavaliers star was asked Tuesday about the latest scandal to rock college hoops and cut straight to the chase in his answer. “The NCAA is corrupt,” James said, via ESPN.com. “We know that. Sorry, it’s going to make headlines, but it’s corrupt.” Last Friday’s report revealed a federal investigation into agents giving impermissible benefits to top college players at elite Division I schools. Apparently that didn’t surprise James, who believes the NCAA’s corruption is systematic. “I don’t know ... NESN.com
Gregg Popovich Rips Laura Ingraham, Likens LeBron James To A ‘Superhero’
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...

Kyrie Irving Likes Instagram Video Of Furious LeBron James Ripping Into Cavs
LeBron James may be “The King” when it comes to basketball, but Kyrie Irving certainly owns the title when it comes to sheer pettiness. The Cleveland Cavaliers got dusted by the Toronto Raptors on Thursday, losing 133-99. And during a timeout James took it upon himself to lead the huddle and rip into his teammates and coaches. One user on Instagram posted the video of James’ rage, and the Boston Celtics’ point guard liked the post in a hilarious demonstration of trolling. Irving certainly had a much better Thursday night than LeBron did, with the Celtics putting together a 22-point comeback in London to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 114-103. NESN.com
