Miami cHeat vs. Chicago Bulls: LebronLeBiatch's Dirty Tactics On Display Again

CHICAGO, IL.  The Chicago Bulls went into the halftime intermission trailing 43-37. Not sure what was said in the locker room, but I can guarantee that one play was mentioned.

Shortly before the half, Lebron had leaked to cherry pick an easy basket, but Jimmy Butler was in position to strip the ball loose which was recovered by the Bulls.

"Hey Lebron! How's my dick taste?"

While on the floor after the play, Lebron purposefully pulled down Jimmy Butler to prevent the Bulls from having numbers while he wasn't hustling back.

As he pulled down Butler (in front of the NBA referee, mind you, without a foul call), Butler's feet ended up around Lebron's head area. Lebron continued to engage Butler, including swinging his own legs up toward Butler's head. Butler, without taking any swings or kicks at Lebron, made it clear that he wasn't going to give Lebron a single inch, and he emerged from the scrum smiling a confident smile.

Take a look at footage of the play and judge for yourself:

That play had to fire up Jimmy Butler. After going 0 for 5 with no points in the first half, he finished up with 16 pts, 11 reb, 4 stl, and 1 blk.

Meanwhile, Lebron, who had to have been frustrated and now embarassed by this unsportsmanlike play, went on to finish with only 17 pts on 8 of 23 shooting (38.2%), even below his season average against the Bulls (19.0 on 42.9% shooting).

Jimmy Butler added to his resume as the Lebron-stopper; while being defended by Butler, Lebron made only 2 field goals and had 3 turnovers.

The Bulls came back from an 11 point 4th quarter deficit to force OT. Then, led by Joakim Noah (20pts, 12reb, 7ast, 5blk), Chicago dominated Miami on the boards and suffocated the Heat offense, which only managed 2 meaningless points on a too little, to late layup by Lebron.

The Chicago Bulls sent the cHeat to their third straight loss in a week that began with Lebron piling on during a blowout of the lowly Bobcats with 61 points. Since then, Lebron has managed 58 points combined in the cHeat's three straight losses.


Beware of the Lebron Dick-Riders

Today, all the Lebron Dick-riders were all up in arms to say that Jimmy Butler kicked Lebron in the face, using very creative stills from the game footage to illustrate their opinionated articles.

We all know that at full speed, that was not a kick, and Lebron flinches like he's been shot in the head at any contact because he's used to getting something for all his acting.

But on the other hand, with video review, the NBA needs to start holding the players that instigate this type of contact accountable because players can and do get hurt from all the tangling of limbs that some players, particularly Miami Heat players, have initiated.

Case in point, a play from the 2011 NBA Playoffs that changed the entire dynamics of the Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics series:

Enough with the acting. Enough with double technicals. Make these situations reviewable by replay and make the penalty meaningful.

Instigators should be ejected from the game with potential for suspension pending the result of the play. This kind of unsportsmanlike play is unacceptable in a professional sports league.

Lebron did not injure Jimmy Butler on that play, but he could have the way Rondo was injured. But the referees should have viewed a replay of the contact. They should have ejected Lebron from the game. And if there was an injury, as there was with Rajon Rondo, there should be the potential to suspend the involved player for the rest of the series.

As it stands, the David Stern-led NBA basically awarded the Miami Heat for causing this injury. Hopefully, new NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is aware of this and many other flaws in NBA officiating and is actively working to rid his league of unsportsmanlike play such as this.

If you think Lebron's and the Miami Heat's unsportsmanlike contact should be banned from the NBA, please comment and share this article on your Facebook.

LeBron and Miami Heat's Complaining Starts Early In Cheating For Another Championship

MIAMI, FL.  Not sure why ESPN.com bothers having a section on its site called "Heat Index" specifically covering Miami Heat stories when the entire NBA coverage by ESPN is a Miami Heat propaganda machine.

This used to be called a charge taken by a gutsy veteran with a high basketball IQ; in this league of superstar calls, its a foul and free throws for the Star, never a foul on LeBron James.

Anyway, in a stunt for the TV cameras and sports "journalists" in attendence during Miami Heat practice, the Heat coaching staff brought out football pads to "simulate" the physical play that the team would encounter against the Chicago Bulls on opening night.

As Miami Heat sports writers everywhere describe the odd sight, the not-so-subtle message is transmitted throughout the slanted ESPN universe: "Beware of the dirty play of the Chicago Bulls."

C'mon.

Tom Haberstroh, as the Miami Heat beat writer for ESPN, you are either slipping that in there to gain your team an advantage, or you are so stupid that you let the Miami Heat coaching staff use you to gain an officiating advantage. Either way, you are a pathetic excuse for a "journalist".

Meanwhile, wasn't it LeBron James himself that tauted flopping as an effective strategy after stating that he has never flopped in his entire career? And wasn't it the same LeBron James that got called and fined a few nights later for flopping?

And what about this Dwayne Wade Cheap Shot Montage (starting at 9:39)?

LeBron and the Heat must sense the sun setting on their time at the top, by default. The Heat won't get an automatic road to the Finals.

Their Eastern Conference Finals foes from last season, the Indiana Pacers have gotten even bigger up front and deeper.

The superteams in Boston and Brooklyn have consolidated into a single Eastern superpower based in Brooklyn.

And the Miami Heat's greatest rival, the Chicago Bulls have their MVP back in Derrick Rose. They are the team that have put fear into the hearts of LeBiatch and his bunch since they split the season series last season and took two games off of them in the playoffs without their best and second best players.

And so what does a aging and declining champion resort to when they feel vulnerable?

They cry foul. They complain about officiating. They stack the deck if they can.

They accuse the other team of being too physical.

They CHeat.

Did Justin Bieber "Screw Lebron" During His Acceptance Speech at the VMAs?

Justin Bieber was the talk and tweet of the MTV Video Music Awards last night, and it wasn't because of his music or his androgynous good-looks. Even on this evening when he took home the VMA for Best New Artist of 2010, the conversation was mostly about what he said during his acceptance speech.

The twitter-verse exploded with chatter about the closing statement of his speech: "Screw LeBron!"

During the aptly named "Summer of Lebron", it seems that all the talk has been about Lebron, his classless dumping of his hometown Cleveland Cavaliers, or one of a dozen other poor decisions made by himself and his team. His actions have made him the object of outright hatred well beyond the city limits of Cleveland, OH.

So, Justin Bieber making a statement like "Screw Lebron!" at the end of his acceptance speech would just be him announcing to the world that, "Hey, Lebron is a LeBiatch!" And I know there are plenty of awesome people that would agree with that.

In fact, many in the twitter-verse expounded a new respect for Bieber for his shot at Lebron. One tweeter said, "Bieber said screw Lebron. Love Justin Bieber now", and another said, "I am a @justinbieber fan for life Screw Lebron @KingJames".

However, the more you think about it, Justin Bieber is a lip-syncing, easy path to fame, coat-tail rider. Now who does that sound like? Would he really bad-mouth one of his own? I suppose if it is the easy way to more fame and respect, and I think the twitter-verse has made it clear that @justinbieber would get some easy cred by starting beef with Lebron.



On the other hand, Bieber could just be thanking his manager, Scooter Braun. Here is the first of many videos showing Justin Bieber's acceptance speech. You can decide for yourself.

"Lebron James is a Bitch" Song by Mike Polk Soon To Send Anti-Lebron Sentiments Viral

Comedian Mike Polk may become the new voice and megaphone for the masses of disenchanted former-fans of Lebron James. Cleveland and fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers have suffered many painful losses when it comes to the history of sports in the city of Cleveland. However, this latest loss especially hurts not only because of the freshness of it, but also because of the treasonous nature of Lebron James' betrayal of the Northeast Ohio-area where James grew up.

Following a summer of high hopes for several NBA team, an extended courtship of the top NBA free agents, and the emergence of a conspiracy, Cleveland was publicly spurned by their own native son, James, who had been embraced by the city with the moniker, "The Chosen One".

After numerous delays, Lebron announced his choice to join with fellow All Stars and Team USA teammates, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, on the Miami Heat, during an ill-conceived 1-hour special on ESPN called "The Decision". The show's name soon became synonymous with the latest betrayal born by the city of Cleveland.

Following "The Decision", there has been harsh backlash against James'. Prior to the infamous decision, James was a much admired sports figure, not only in Cleveland, but Lebron was respected globally to fans of the sport. However, perception of Lebron James has drastically shifted, and Mike Polk's tribute song is the latest emphatic statement of this.



The perception of Lebron James leaving his city, although not the course of champions of the echelon of Jordan, Bird, and Kobe, would not have been a career-killer if James had gone about it with more public-relations savvy. Shaquille O'Neal moved during his prime, much like Lebron James, from an NBA Finals team in the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers, however O'Neal was the main attraction on the Lakers, who won the NBA Championship with O'Neal because of the eventual development of Kobe Bryant.

However, with Lebron stringing along several NBA franchises, announcing his departure in such a self-aggrandizing and self-promotional forum, and leaving Cleveland to join two other established players, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, on a team that Wade has already won a championship with in Miami, many former Lebron fans feel deceived. There was nothing admirable or heroic about Lebron's actions from "The Decision" onward. By subjugating himself to Wade, he has made the admission that he cannot lead a team to victory, and he has revealed the fraud in the advertisements that taut his supremacy.

Sports super-stardom is driven by image and perception, and Lebron has managed to tarnish his well-polished image with quite possibly the worst PR summer of any great athlete in recent memory. A viral video would not help things for James, however the outrage is real and stands to grow with each game Lebron plays with Wade's team.

Postings like this one all over social media sites like Facebook and Twitter have fueled the popularity of Mike Polk's YouTube performance. The following update was posted to the Facebook group, Lebron is a LeBiatch:

This is my new favorite song! Thank you, Mike Polk! Lebron is a LeBiatch.

Within a matter of 2 hours, the hit count on the YouTube video rose by nearly 3500 views, and with the viral nature of social media, Lebron James could possibly be the first NBA star to become globally infamous because of Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. Nike and other brands don't bank on athletes with the image of being a Bitch.

BEWARE: Lebron is Making a Mental List of His Enemies; Lebron is a LeBiatch

After much speculation that Lebron was an arrogant jerk who makes bad Decisions, Lebron proved it today.

Lebron is making a list and checking it twice, gonna find out who's naughty or nice...

In a poorly conceived follow up to "The Decision" show, Lebron chose the twitterverse to be the platform for his public coming out party. After a month to ponder his response to the disappointment felt by avid followers of basketball, and himself in particular, the best he could come up with was a reactionary verbal flipping of the bird to those that were not going to loyally and mindlessly continue to revere him. Loyalty, as in the quality he failed to show a city that he grew up in the shadow of and that he promised when he was drafted in 2003, "I will bring a championship to the city of Cleveland." It was surprising how quickly Lebron corrected himself; I grew up in Akron, and we hated Clevelanders. If it was hard to carry the team, it will be ever harder winning them a championship by playing for another team in the same conference.

Despite not being able to live up to his word and expecting loyalty when he doesn't feel the need to be loyal himself, some fans stood by him. Even when the greatest legends in basketball history questioned the arrogance and selfishness of the decision and how it would tarnish his legacy, this generation of spoiled brats was quick to defend one of their own. The self-proclaimed "king" had a right to "get paid" and to "chase a ring" they would say. Sure, "pursuit of happiness" is indeed a right, but where is his respect for the game and the legends that built the sport into one of the cornerstones of America. It is clear now, after "The Decision", Lebron doesn't intend to work for anything, he just wants to cash the checks that Magic, Bird, and Michael worked for.

And now, he has an audience of 1 million people, and he wants to tell them he is making a revenge list?

Any sentiment existing outside of South Beach that sympathized with Lebron was bashed over the head with a baseball bat.

My response: 

"After showing us all that he can't be The Man to lead a team to a Championship, now @kingjames is mouthing off on twitter. Shut up and win ONE ring before you whine about how people are disrespecting you. Lebron is a LeBiatch."

 

The vindictive tone of the tweet was seen by anyone with access to twitter.com, essentially any computer that was connected to the internet. All of Lebron's 1 million+ followers on the social media website would have seen the threatening tweet in their update list, and it could have been seen by anyone choosing to view those people's updates. Let's just say, it was the "Threat Heard Round The World".

Immediately, the tweet set off a series of defiant retorts (like mine) that echoed in the twitterverse through the power retweeting, and they carry with them the truth about Lebron's legacy. It has been damaged, and it can never be returned to where it stood just one month ago.

All I can say is that, at the end of the day, Lebron's mental ability to do anything does not scare me in the least. What about you?

NEVER SURRENDER Cleveland Cavaliers LeBiatch Design T-Shirt

NEVER SURRENDER Cleveland Cavaliers LeBiatch Design T-Shirt

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!

ACHIEVE GREATNESS LeBiatch Design T-Shirt

GREATNESS... his name is synonymous with it.

He is the unquestioned Greatest of All Time, His Airness, Michael Jordan. Drafted by the Chicago Bulls third overall in the 1984 NBA Draft, and immediately put the League on notice with a first year campaign that included a selection as an NBA All-Star and culminated in the 1985 Rookie of the Year Award.

By the prime of his career, Jordan and his Chicago Bulls teams were a perennial fixture in the NBA Finals having overcome the challenge of the "Bad Boy" Detroit Pistons teams of 1989 and 1990. From 1991 to 1993, the Chicago Bulls established their dynasty by appearing in three consecutive NBA Finals, and Jordan powered the team to victory in all three.

During the summer of 1992, Michael Jordan was the star of the greatest basketball team ever assembled, the original Dream Team. Despite the marquis names of Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, Jordan was the in his prime, and he was the unchallenged best player in the league. The Dream Team dominated the 1992 Olympics winning their games by an average of 42 points, and we caught a glimpse of the boom in the global popularity of basketball that Jordan had catalyzed.

The high of winning the Olympic Gold Medal in 1992 and the NBA Championship in 1993 was followed by the tragic murder of Michael Jordan's father leading to a nearly two year hiatus from basketball, during which Jordan applied his trademark focus, determination, and perseverance to the sport of baseball. Jordan's switch to the sport of baseball was in honor of his father, for it was the sport that his father envisioned him playing. Although he met with limited success in his short professional baseball career and eventually returned to basketball, basketball fans gained some insight into the greatness of Michael Jordan.

The world saw that despite being the greatest basketball player in the world, when it came to baseball, he worked hard to become better and he stayed late to put in extra batting practice, the same way he worked on his basketball skills after being cut from his high school basketball team when he was a Junior at Laney High. It was his incredible work ethic was what made Jordan a success.

"I'm back," was the simple statement that heralded his return to basketball in 1995. Upon his return, the doubters questioned what the effects would be of his hiatus from basketball. However, Jordan quickly silenced the doubters with an epic 55 point performance at the Mecca of Basketball, Madison Square Garden, against one of the Chicago Bulls most hated rivals. Jordan was certainly back.

Jordan lead the Chicago Bulls back to the NBA Finals in 1996, and again, he fueled his team to the NBA Championship. The Chicago Bulls dynasty was back on top, and following 1997 and 1998 campaigns that ended in two more Bulls Championships, Michael Jordan retired in his prime, from the game he loved, promoted, and dominated.

Michael Jordan not only dominated the sport of basketball, but the effects of his life and presence reverberate beyond the sport. He is still a hero to millions, and held up as a role model and example of success. And that is why his greatness will never be matched in the history of basketball.

HANG BANNERS Boston Celtics LeBiatch Design T-Shirt

The long-awaited Banner 17 was raised at the home of the Boston Celtics only after a championship drought of 22 years and two blockbuster trades in the summer of 2007.

The Celtics first acquired Ray Allen and a draft pick from Seattle for Wally Szerbiak, Delonte West, and Boston's 5th Overall pick in the NBA Draft. Then on July 31, 2007, the Celtics acquired former MVP and perennial All-Star Kevin Garnett for Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green, Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Sebastian Telfair, a 2009 first round draft pick (top three protected) and a return of Minnesota's conditional first round draft pick. Although the trades gutted the roster, Boston was able to assemble a "Big Three" in Garnett, Allen, and All-Star Paul Pierce.

The Boston Celtics would finish the 2007-08 season with the best record in the NBA, 66-16, and after a challenging first round series with the Atlanta Hawks, they advanced to the Eastern Conference crown and faced the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2008 NBA Finals.

Factoring in the Lakers strong playoff run to the Finals and the Celtics problems of even reaching the Finals with two 7-game series, the Lakers were favored to beat a seemingly tired Boston team, even with Boston holding homecourt advantage. The first games of the series started with the Celtics once again dominating at home. Game 1 saw Paul Pierce suffer a knee injury early in the game only to come back and make 70 percent of his attempted field goals, resulting in a 98–88 Celtics win. In Game 2, Boston nearly lost a 24-point lead only to win 108–102. The Lakers returned to Staples Center and won Game 3, 87–81. When Los Angeles took a 24-point lead in the second quarter of Game 4 the Celtics appeared to be losing control of the series. Led by a bench that outscored the Lakers bench by 20 points, the Celtics took over Game 4 with a victory, the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers won Game 5, 103–98, the series went back to Boston for Game 6, and the Celtics finished off Los Angeles with a 131–92 victory, claiming the most lopsided win in a NBA Finals game since the Chicago Bulls defeated the Utah Jazz by 42 points in the 1998 NBA Finals, and the all-time largest margin of victory in a deciding game. Paul Pierce was named NBA Finals MVP.

The Celtics had won their record 17th NBA championship, a championship 22 years in the making. Banner 17 would be the first new NBA Championship banner to be raised to the rafters in the new TD Banknorth Garden.
