NBA legend Michael Jordan believes he could beat LeBron James in a one-on-one basketball game when he was in his prime.
So long, James, Allen, Pierce and Garnett.
If you haven't yet forgiven Derrick Rose, get ready.
It's happening again. LeBron James is happening. Another round of free agency. Another decision. Another chance for the greatest player of his generation, and possibly the greatest player of any generation, to stack the deck and make it as easy as possible to win another two or three NBA titles.
Luol Deng is tremendously important to the Bulls, which is why they should avoid signing him to another long-term extension.
After Michael Jordan, it's pretty tough...
Move over LeBron James, Derrick Rose is coming back.
Check out this GIF that compiles every single shot LeBron James made from Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
He's the most decorated player in the National Basketball Association and when it mattered most, LeBron James once again came through for the Miami Heat.
Haters gonna hate.
How do you follow up one of the greatest NBA Finals games in history? The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs did just that Thursday night with the greatest spectacle in sports, a Game 7, winner-take-all game at the AmericanAirlines Arena.
Chris Bosh told those Heat fans who had left Game 6 early to stay home, and judging strictly by his line in Game 7, he barely bothered to show up himself.
LeBron James and the Miami Heat remain atop the NBA, and not even a proud push from the San Antonio Spurs could knock them down.
He arrived in Miami predicting "Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven" NBA championships, which leaves us to assume that LeBron James bolted Cleveland for South Beach to win eight crowns with the Heat.
This is why there is no finality in sports until it's time. This is why, win or lose in this epic Game 6 on Tuesday night, there was no defining anything about LeBron James, his career, his place in history -- any of it.
The worst possible reason to take a shot is because you think it's about time you did.
It will be known as the LeBron James Headband Game.
LeBron James led a title-saving charge, and now his crown will be on the line one more time in Game 7.
This might be why Miami Heat fans are considered some of the worst sports fans in the world.
LeBron James saved a championship reign, canceled a celebration. The toughest part now might be topping this performance in Game 7.
When you're as big as LeBron James, you shouldn't need to flop.
Five things to watch for in Game 6 of the NBA Finals, as the San Antonio Spurs try to clinch their fifth title and end the Miami Heat's reign on Tuesday night:
A little more than a year ago, the Miami Heat stood on the verge of elimination in the Eastern Conference Finals. The team's heart and the ability of the Big Three were being questioned left and right ahead of Game 6 of the Conference Finals.
