• Why LeBron James is the Most Underpaid Athlete in Sports (infographic)

  In Basketball, infographic, Sports / 1 May 2013 / 0 comments

  

  What if I told you LeBron was underpaid by an amount 90% of NBA players don’t make in a year. Even though LeBron is the best player in the NBA right now, he’s still one of the most underpaid athletes in the country. Given all the money the Cavs made during his time with them compared to the money the Heat made upon his arrival, LeBron makes for one lucrative money maker. This infographic proves the intangibles LeBron brings to the table. The difference in all aspects since his departure from Cleveland, over to his grand entrance to Miami.

  In Sports / 14 March 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Bloomberg Sports has released their list of the 100 most powerful athletes playing in the United States. Bloomberg uses both “on-field” ( stats, like batting average, goals, points, touchdowns, etc) and “off-field” (endorsement deals and social media presence) attributes to determine the list and only athletes who were active in the 2011-2012 season were considered. We’ve narrowed down the list to the top 10 but if you want to see all 100 check them out on Bloomberg Sports.

• Photo of the Day: LeBron James Dunking As Five Knicks Players Stand In Awe

  In Basketball, Lebron James, Photo Of The Day / 4 March 2013 / 0 comments

  

  The Miami Heat went into MSG and showed the New York Knicks who’s boss yesterday. At one point, the Knicks were up 16-points but then LeBron and the Heat turned on the jets and won 99-93. LeBron is having a historic season and he was stellar once again — with 29 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists — leading Miami to its 14th-straight win. He is getting a lot of props for his ongoing pregame dunks but it was this alley-oop in the first half, captured by Getty photographer Nick Laham, that had everyone talking. LeBron is seen flying through the air as the Knicks look helplessly below. Photo via: Nick Laham/Getty

• LeBron James Threw Down ANOTHER Insane Pre-Game Dunk

  In Basketball / 27 February 2013 / 0 comments

  

  Get to Miami Heat games early because the pre-game is more exciting than the game itself. In case you didn’t know that LeBron could dunk or not now you do. Just another example of why the Dunk Contest doesn’t feature the best talent in the league.

• Lebron James’s Pre-game Dunk Was Better Than The Dunk Contest

  In Basketball, Sports, VIDEO / 25 February 2013 / 0 comments

  

  In a perfect world, NBA stars like Lebron James would compete in the dunk contest each year. You can say what you want about him, but the guy’s athleticism is unreal. And let’s face it, the dunk contest is a snooze fest. You may get one or two dunks each year that causes you to double-take. But for the most part, you really aren’t interested because there are no big-name players competing. Which dunk won last year’s contest? Bet you can’t answer that but you CAN remember where you were when you saw Vince Carter put his entire elbow inside the rim. If Lebron wanted to, he could destroy the dunk competition and have fans and media talk about those dunks for years to come – like we did/still do with guys like MJ and Vince Carter. During his pre-game warmup the other night, Lebron showed off his athleticism by casually throwing down a dunk that was better than anything we saw in the dunk contest this year. Just do us all a favor and compete, would ya!?

• Somehow, The Miami Heat Are a Profit Losing Organization

  In Basketball, Sports / 6 July 2012 / 1 comment

  

  The Miami Heat have just won the NBA championship.  They have one of the most powerhouse teams ever assembled (feel free to debate this below) that have helped them sell out their second straight season. Oh yea, and they haven’t paid rent on the building. (fancy loopholes of course)  All of this and yet they still expect to have lost money this year.

• What If The BCS Was Used In The NBA?

  In Basketball, Sports / 20 June 2012 / 1 comment

  

  The Roosevelts recently demonstrated how poorly the BCS system would have fared in selecting the Super Bowl participants over the past decade.  On Monday we discovered it did even worse with the World Series. Today, we look at how different the NBA Finals would have been under a BCS system.  We again uses ESPN’s Power Rankings as our BCS substitute, and select the highest rated team at the end of the regular season from each conference.  The highlights and full results from the past 9 years (the NBA Power Rankings only go back to 2004) are below. The actual NBA champion made the BCS NBA Finals 3 times (2009 Lakers, 2008 Celtics, 2004 Pistons). The system correctly picked 1 NBA Finals matchup (2008 Lakers vs. Celtics) The system correctly selected only 5 out of 18 actual NBA Finals participants. The Bulls are the biggest winner, increasing their Finals appearances from 0 to 3, and Suns are close behind, increasing from 0 to 2. Other notable winners include the Cavs, Pistons, and Spurs who all gain an additional appearance. The Heat are the biggest losers by far, failing to make any to make any NBA Finals under a BCS system. The Magic and Thunder more »

  Over the past few years, big brands have been featuring viral videos of professional sports figures accomplishing astounding feats during “down time” on a commercial set or just practicing their trade. While everyone knows the authenticity of these viral ads, it’s fun to imagine these athletes as the larger than life figures we once thought they were as children.
