LeBron's 4th Quarter Hightlight Reel

I guess Greg Doyle was onto something when he asked LeBron why he has been disappearing in the 4th. I'm watching this game last night and I find myself squinting at the TV.."Am I missing something? Where is LeBron? Is he in the game?" He was...barely. 8 points in the entire game, 0 in the 4th. LeBron, you can't EVER be considered the greatest when your talents dissipate at the end of the game the way that they did in Game 4. Is he still better than Jordan? That one was for you Scottie--LBJ has gone 3-12 in the 4th quarter this series, a painful stat if your a Heat fan or if you were one of these people that claimed this wasn't Wade's team. Wade scored 32 btw...I'm thinking the newest NBA Finals talking ball commercial is going to be a basketball in the middle of the court screaming "LeBron! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Tell the Fat Lady to Put Down Her Microphone...

...Since going to the 2-3-2 format 11 of the 11 teams that have won game 3 in a series tied 1-1 has gone on to win the NBA Finals. Furthermore, the team that wins game one goes on to win the NBA Finals 73% of the time. Not to mention, overall the Miami Heat are out playing the Dallas Mavericks for about 40 minutes each game. I still have an inclination that the Mavericks will win this series, or at least push it to seven games. Take game 2 for example; I all but fell asleep, as did most of the country because the Mavs were getting pounded by 20 late. During my slumber they found a way to battle back with gritty defense, help from their bench, and a red-hot Dirk Nowitzki. Miami is good but they are not great yet and they have shown that they can take their foot off the pedal. So, before we write off Dallas lets remember this is a 7 game series and it might take all 7 games to tell us who the better basketball team is.

Oh Gilbert...

Gilbert's Tweets...

The Big Finish

At the age of 39 The Big Diesel is hanging up his size 76 shoe, putting down his mic, and handing in his badge. Shaq was a larger than life mega-star who will be remembered for a litany of things...NBA titles, MVP's, playing for several teams, Kazaam, feuding with Kobe, and so on. But the thing I will remember the most about Shactus was his incredible rap album. I'm not even sure I'm being sarcastic. Of course for years I thought Shaq Diesel rapping was a joke, I mean come on, the title of his first album was Shaq-Fu. However, after doing some research for the show today I stumbled upon some old Shaq songs and to be honest...they're not that bad. So, without further adieu, here is one of my favs from Shaq-Fu Panda. Enjoy!

Ho-Grant To The Rescue

After hearing Scottie Pippen's comment about LeBron being better than Jordan, former teammate Horace Grant says without saying 'that dude's crazy'! Horace adds that Jordan was the greatest in his era and made everyone better and was pretty much hinting at the fact that without Jordan NO ONE on that team would have had the career that they did...and I agree. Maybe we should start drug testing retired basketball players.

Dwight Staying?

Dwight Howard on Monday stated his commitment to the Orlando Magic, saying he wants the franchise to grow in stature. He also said he needs help on and off the court to make that happen.

"Not only do I need the right teammates, but I need the city behind me. That's the only way it's going to get done. We can change this small city that we have — this small market that we have — and we can make it a big market," the Magic center told the Orlando Sentinel during a Memorial Day barbecue he held for fans in Orlando.

Dwight Howard makes it clear: Surround me with better players so I can lead the Magic to greatness. (AP Photo)Orlando tried to improve the All-NBA center’s surrounding cast last December with two major trades. The Magic acquired Gilbert Arenas from the Washington Wizards for Rashard Lewis, and they reacquired Hedo Turkoglu from the Phoenix Suns in a six-player deal that sent Vince Carter out west. Orlando finished second in the Southeast Division with a 52-30 record and was eliminated by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the playoffs.

The 25-year-old Howard told the Sentinel he wanted to "start my own path" in Orlando. "I'm not trying to run behind nobody like Shaq or be behind somebody else," Howard said, referring to Shaquille O'Neal's exit from Orlando 15 years ago for the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. is considered a primary option for Howard, who can opt out of his contract a year early in 2012.

Howard told the Sentinel he came up with the idea of a cookout Monday morning as a way to address fans' concerns about his future in Orlando. The Sentinel reported that hundreds of people attended even though the event was announced only on Twitter.

"As of right now, I'm a part of the Orlando Magic and I plan to be here," Howard said. "And I want the Magic to do whatever they can to make sure that we can get our city behind us. That's the only thing that I want to happen: just to have the city behind me and the support of our fans.

"I never said I was leaving. I never, ever thought about leaving. That's basically where my head is right now. I never said anything to them [the Magic] about what my plans were because that's not what I'm focused on right now."

The forthcoming Einhorn (new minority owner of the Mets whose middle name is Finkle btw) wasted no time in humanizing himself to the fanbase with this relatable quote:

“In 1975, I even dressed in a homemade jersey as a Met for Halloween. I have been a baseball fan for my entire life and have enjoyed teaching the game as the coach of my daughter’s little league team.”

Good for you buddy.

Bulls layed to rest due to Heat stroke...

The big 3 showed up big last night, each scoring over 20 and equally contributing to the elimination of the best team in NBA. The Bulls had a great run but they might need to go grab one more guy because the Heat are a year ahead of schedule and something tells me they're not going to get worse in the coming seasons.
