Cleveland and the Cavs Have The Best Laugh On Dwayne Wade's Sidekick With a 102 - 90 Win Over The Miami Heat

CLEVELAND, OH. It was sweet, sweet redemption for a city that has not only suffered the humilitation of the public announcement of Lebron's "Decision", but then had to endure the humilition of their team laying down to Lebron at home in an embarassing 118 - 90 loss to the Miami Heat on December 2nd, 2010.

Cleveland fans are still upset, but on this night, they got the better of Lebron's South Beach superfriends.

After dealing away the players that didn't have the heart to play for the city of Cleveland, the Cleveland Cavaliers came to fight tonight against the Miami Heat, who ran into a very different Cleveland reception and a very different Cleveland Cavaliers team.

It began in the parking garage as, allegedly, Lebron arrived at the game with his large entourage of homies that had had free run of the Q when Lebron was the Cavaliers star, however garage attendants turned away Lebron's "guests", setting the tone for the reception Lebron would now get in Cleveland on and off the court.

Cleveland came ready to battle, hustling for every rebound and loose ball and showing an edge that was lacking from the players on the floor in the previous home meeting with the Heat.

Baron Davis, who started his career with the Cavs and was back in Cleveland by virtue of the February 24th trade that sent Mo Williams to the Clippers, was one of the new faces on the Cavs that was not present for the embarassing home loss and now brings their swagger to the Cavs/ Heat rivalry.

It was a great pickup; Davis hit on a big three pointer before the buzzer at the half, and the Cavs went into the locker room at halftime with an 11 point lead.

Baron Davis set up Gee for a big dunk in the 4th Quarter to preserve the win for the Cavaliers.

The Cavs were able to build on the lead and push it to 23 before Miami began to make a run. But the Cavs, after relinquishing some big leads this season, were able to lean on Davis' veteran leadership and big plays by J.J. Hickson (21 pts, 12 reb), Anthony Parker (20 pts, 7 reb, 2 ast), and a great defensive effort by Ryan Hollins (13 pts, 3 reb, 2 stl, 3 blks).

Here are the highlights:


Those who diminish the value of the game and the win do not really understand the larger scope. With the losses of both Chicago and Boston yesterday, a Miami win would have allowed them to gain a full game in the race for first place and home court in the Eastern Conference.

For Miami, the loss ot Cleveland could mean falling short of getting the top seed in the East. And although Miami may not necessarily need home court the way a Chicago might, it still makes Miami's potential road through the Eastern Conference playoff much more difficult, making them have to beat Boston AND Chicago, two teams they have yet to beat this season.

It is too soon to truly tell, but the gutsy win by the Cavaliers may have potentially stopped Miami from making the NBA Finals this season.

Karma? You bet.

The Upside of Lebron Leaving Cleveland: The Fresh Air! Just Ask Anderson Varejao

Dear Clevelanders,

Whether or not you have gotten over the horrifically produced travesty that was "The Decision" Show yet, we can all admit that the loss of Lebron will be a difficult blow for the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team to recover from, even though Lebron shoots like 15% from the field in must win games.

However, after searching high and low, scientists have indeed discovered an upside to Lebron James leaving Cleveland: fresher air! After the growth of industry that lead to the population boom in Cleveland and the associated rise in air pollution, environmental regulations have lead to a gradual improvement in Cleveland's air quality to its present level. However, it seems that the effects of all the environmental regulation combined will not improve the air quality as much as the departure of Lebron James.

Anderson Varejao was instrumental in exposing Lebron James' assault on the environment. The following video reveals the lengths and sacrifice that Varejao went to in order to expose James.



Cleveland will be a better place for many reasons with the departure of Lebron, and Varejao deserves our gratitude for his sacrifice in exposing Lebron, the eco-criminal.

Best Award Winning Videos from the Summer of Lebron is a LeBiatch, the Documentary Edition

So, the much anticipated 2010 NBA Free Agency period (the so called "Summer of Lebron") has come and gone. It was a soap opera beyond imagination which finally ended with the most awkward debacle of an announcement of a bad decision ever made in the history of modern sports.

Lebron decided to take his talents (and for his sake, enough lube) to South Beach to join Dwayne Wade and new Heat teammate, Chris Bosh. And that was when Lebron revealed himself to be a fraud and less than the Chosen One he had claimed to be. The hearts of those who had once supported him were broken, as they have been so many times before in Cleveland. And beyond Cleveland, those who believed that he could step into the Air Jordans of the Greatest of All Time and those who hoped that pride could be restored for a team that plays in the Mecca of Basketball were also disappointed.

However, none of this may compare with the irreparable damage that "the Decision" has done to Lebron's own legacy. The championships that he may have believed would cement his legacy, gotten this way by joining a champion in DWade, will forever cast him as a sidekick. And despite what anyone has said, this incarnation of the Miami Heat have yet to win a single game.

With all the free agent dominoes having fallen and the teams geared up to start the regular season, this usually proves to be the longest month for hardcore hoops fans. Therefore, we wish to bring you the Best Videos of the Summer of Lebron is a LeBiatch. In this edition, we examine the Best Documentary Videos of the summer.

August 9, 2010 About a month after announcing "the Decision", Lebron returns to Cedar Point, the legendary amusement park in northern Ohio. However, despite the solid month of anti Lebron sentiment coming out of the Cleveland Cavaliers fanbase, Lebron must not have been convinced that his decision could have been so poorly received.

On this day, an amateur camera-person captures Lebron James at the basketball hoops getting jeered by park-goers and missing every shot he takes. He must have been having flashbacks to Game 5 of the Boston Celtics playoff series this year where he shot 3 of 14.

July 9, 2010 This will be a date that will live in infamy in the minds of Cleveland sports fans as the unthinkable and unimaginable happened in a public act of humiliation that garnered an audience of 9.95 million to TV screens. In a classless display of self-aggrandizement, Lebron took an hour of national TV airtime on ESPN (and the dignity of one Jim Gray, who presided over the charade) to make his long awaited announcement.

Lebron James, a homegrown, hometown basketball phenom from nearby Akron, OH, eventually became the #1 overall selection of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA Draft. He was christened The Chosen One because he was believed to be the one to return Cleveland sports to respectability, and during his 7 years playing for the Cavs, James won two MVP awards, lead his team to the best regular season record twice, and made one NBA Finals appearance.

Lebron's decision to join a loaded team in Miami was viewed as not only selfish and quitting, but it was also an act of betrayal greater than any other because he was the local guy who should understand the pain and the plight of the city in terms of sports history. After being likened to Benedict Arnold, Lebron is giving Art Modell a run for his money for the mantel of most hated Cleveland sports demigod.

Bosh Reveals That There Was Never Discussion About Cleveland With Lebron

It seems that as time goes by, tiny morsels of facts regarding "The Decision" and the rest of the farce that was NBA Free Agency 2010 emerge that lend more and more credence to the notion that Lebron's decision to join with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami was contrived well in advance of the start of the free agent signing period on July 1, 2010.

On SI.com's Dan Patrick Show, none other than Chris Bosh, the least talented of the Miami Big Three, was asked about Lebron's attempts to lure him to join the Cleveland Cavaliers. Reportedly, Lebron had spoken to Bosh about the possibility of joining the team in a sign and trade; an option that the Cavs would surely have entertained in order to keep James in Cleveland.

“We never had a discussion about Cleveland,” Bosh revealed, Wednesday morning. "We never really had discussions, period."

This simple statement greatly implicate that James had already closed the door on returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers, the team that originally drafted him out of high school first overall in the 2003 NBA Draft.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, which finished the 2010 regular season with a 61-21 record and the best record in the league for the second consecutive season, could have arguably had the addition it needed to be title favorites by adding Chris Bosh and keeping James.

The Lebron James public spectacle, and the infamous "Decision", continues to baffle, particularly those who understand the game and business of basketball the best.

Did he or did he not quit? That was the question. In the playoff series against the underdog Boston Celtics, Game 4 just may be the most infamous game in the career of Lebron James, for when he was supposed to rise to the occasion and put the Cleveland Cavaliers on his back and carry them back to a tied series. However, after struggling for three quarters, Lebron simply stopped shooting and seemed to stop fighting. Following the loss in Game 4 and the series-ending loss in Game 5, Cavs fans actually booed, not the loss, but lack of effort.

In the days leading up to the official start of free agency, Cavs fans were optimistic that their hometown hero would keep fighting for the sports pride of the area where Lebron grew up and played his entire NBA career. They could not imagine that "The Chosen One" could fail in his quest to bring the elusive NBA Championship home.



That is, until the poorly produced "The Decision" show on ESPN (and all the hilarious spoofs that would come about as a result, such as the one above!). When Lebron announced his decision to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami, he answered an innumerable number of questions about Lebron James the basketball player, as well as, Lebron James the person.

The world would "Witness" a player who did not succeed with a team, and rather than take responsibility to fulfill his promise to area by accepting the mantle of "The Chosen One" (like the tattoo on his back says), he opted for the easy road. Rather than showing the persistence, mental fortitude, and leadership that was the character of past legendary players, he opted to give up, surrender, throw in the towel, lay down, or his own brand of quitting, QUITNESS.

For all the Cleveland Fans out there fighting and never surrendering and who deserve a role model, a player, and a team that will never surrender, this is for you!
