By Farid Rushdi Harper was a man among boys playing high school ball, hitting .616-25-112 over two seasons. But that was his entire high school career, because believing that he could get no better at that level, Harper obtained his GED and left school after his sophomore year. Really?

By John Boller I’m not sure how it happened, but it happened. The Atlanta Hawks have swept the regular season series with the Boston Celtics. You want to tell me that Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers don’t care about their losses to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

By Christopher Finley Friday night’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Indiana Pacers can essentially be summed up by one word, defense. The Cavs simply out-muscled the smaller Pacers en route to a 94-73 victory. The Cavaliers stormed out of the gates opening up a 36-18 lead after one quarter, led by n...

By Tom Delamater Williams has also emerged as a floor general for the Cavaliers, averaging better than five assists a game. That’s not a gaudy number, but don’t forget that James, the unquestioned leader of the team, leads Cleveland in that category as well.

By Associated Press LeBron James finished one rebound short of a triple-double, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Indiana Pacers 94-73 on Friday night.

LeBron James finished one rebound short of a triple-double, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Indiana Pacers 94-73 on Friday night.

By Tom Delamater Two nights later, after learning that point guard Mo Williams would be lost for up to six weeks with a sprained shoulder, James recorded 37 points, nine assists and five rebounds as the Cavs topped Kobe Bryant and the Lakers, 93-87. Bryant led the Lakers with 31 points.

There was a single moment Monday night when a game between the Heat and Cavaliers became the best two-man show South Florida has ever seen.

By M. Haubs(thepaintedarea@gmail.com) So, there's been lots of LeBron food for thought over the last week or so, including the very good LeBron column by Bill Simmons. And that's the thing: LeBron has a chance to challenge for no. 1. Yes, Kobe is a more accomplished player and ranks higher than LeBron for his career as of now. But LeBro...

By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) This is the fifth Cavs-Lakers game that I have covered (remember that because they are in opposite conferences, the Cavs and Lakers only play each other twice--home and home--in the regular season).

By Ryan Virgin Where's LeBron gonna go?" Should he stay in Cleveland? And that is sentimentality. LeBron is from Ohio, he grew up in Ohio, went to high school in Ohio, and was drafted by Cleveland. Cleveland made LeBron who he is. The city loves him and the Cavaliers hold him sacred.

By Kaczala Over the past few days tons of pics presenting new LeBron sneakers have surfaced the Internet. I hope you’re ready for some more, cause it ain’t over. We previewed LBJ’s All-Star game shoes yesterday and the day before, but now as nearly 30 new photos have hit the blogs we go into the details. Th...

By David Friedman(Doc319@yahoo.com) The 3-13 New York Knicks own the third worst record in the NBA; they have no apparent plan to become successful any time soon, only a dream--call it a delusion--that LeBron James is going to leave a championship contending team in Cleveland to become the captain of the Gotham Titanic. More than a generation ago, Micheal Ray Richardson famously lamented that the Knicks' "ship be sinking," adding that "the sky's the limit" after being asked how far the ship could plummet--but the current edition of the Knicks is even worse than Richardson's team was: the Knicks rank 29th (out of 30 teams) in points allowed (107.9), 29th in rebounding differential (-6.6) 28th in point differential (-6.5) and 28th in defensive field goal percentage (.488).

By Will Ayers Jr. There is no doubt that the best player for the Celtics last year in the playoffs was Rajon Rondo. He was more than a point guard last year for the C's, he was "the team." Rondo averaged nearly a triple double racking up 16.9 points, 9.8 assists, and 9.7 rebounds, while leading the Celtics to within o...

By M. Haubs(noreply@blogger.com) 1. Where will LeBron James be? 2. How will Greg Oden/Andrew Bynum develop? 3. How will high-school-to-pros players age?

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) I wrote three team previews for Lindy's Pro Basketball 2009-10: Cleveland Cavaliers (second year in a row), Phoenix Suns (third year in a row) and Dallas Mavericks (first time). The Cavs signed Leon Powe after the article submission deadline, so I did not write the parenthetical comments about Powe in the Cleveland preview and I disagree with the suggestion that the Cavs will play him at all at small forward; assuming that he recovers from knee surgery in time to play during the regular season--the Cavs really brought him in to hopefully provide frontcourt depth for the playoffs--Powe will get minutes at power forward and center.   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The Cleveland Cavaliers used a powerful three pronged offensive attack led by LeBron James plus stifling defense to race to a 29 point lead versus the sputtering Detroit Pistons en route to a 94-82 victory, placing Detroit in a 2-0 hole. James finished with game-high totals in points (29) and rebounds (13), adding six assists while committing only two turnovers. He thrilled the crowd with two sensational third quarter dunks: a two handed monster jam off of a slick bounce pass from Mo Williams at the 5:19 mark to put the Cavs up 61-44 and a two handed windmill fastbreak dunk that made the score 68-46 Cleveland with 3:27 left. Williams established playoff career-highs in points (21) and assists (seven), while Delonte West had 20 points and fo...   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Kobe Bryant: Pro: Con: LeBron James: Pro: James has led the Cavaliers to the best record in the NBA. James has relentlessly attacked his few skill set weaknesses (free throw shooting, three point shooting, defense) so thoroughly that only one flaw remains: midrange shooting. Con: James' erratic midrange jump shot still leaves him--and the Cavaliers--vulnerable against elite defensive teams that will sag off of James and force him to make that shot, something that James was not able to do versus the Spurs in the 2007 NBA Finals or the Celtics in the 2008 Eastern Conference semifinals, the last two playoff series that the Cavs have lost.

By David Friedman Last season, the Cleveland Cavaliers eliminated the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals by relying on excellent team defense, strong rebounding and the brilliant all-around play of LeBron James. Several of the faces have changed in Cleveland--and things have not always gone smoothly since the big trade--but that tried and tested formula resulted in an 89-73 home victory over Detroit on Wednesday night. James did his part with 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists, shooting 11-19 from the field and producing a +15 plus/minus rating while playing a team-high 41 minutes. The Cavaliers outrebounded the Pistons 46-39. Ben Wallace and Zydrunas Ilgauskas each had eight rebounds and Anderson Varejao added six rebounds o...   [read the full post]

About five players have emerged as MVP candidates for this NBA season. Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, LeBron James, Kevin Garnett and Tracy McGrady top most lists. Suns forward Amar Stoudemire wont say whether he thinks he deserves consideration.

By David Friedman LeBron James is the clear winner as the most athletic player in the NBA, getting 46.2% of the vote. Vince Carter (11.5%) finished second, while Kobe Bryant, Shawn Marion and Gerald Wallace (7.7%) tied for third. James seems to be the obvious choice here. The GMs largely agree that point guard Nash (85.2%), shooting guard Bryant (92.6%) and small forward James (74.1%) are the best players at their respective positions; point guard Jason Kidd (14.8%) and small forward Carmelo Anthony (14.8%) are the only other players to get more than 10% of the vote at those spots. Tim Duncan wins at both power forward (48.1% to 25.9% for Kevin Garnett and 18.5% for Dirk Nowitzki) and center (48.1% to 33.3% for Yao Ming and 7.7% each for Dwight Howard and Shaquille O'Neal).
