LeBron Busts A Move At The ESPYs
Just because a guy can score his team's final 25 points in game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals against Detroit doesn't mean he can't dance, dance, dance. If the King wants to rock the Hammer Pants and a Gumby haircut, that's his prerogative.
On Sunday, LeBron boosted his repertoire, adding award-show host/performer to his resume. Check out King James performing Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative" while busting a move with the freshest Hammer Pants you've ever seen and a haircut that Brown is surely proud of. As one YouTube member asserts, "this shit is mad funny. lebron is the man. all haters need to stop hating and buy his shoes."
Indeed.

NBA Finals mercifully end
It's official. The Spurs/Cavs 2007 Finals is the lowest rated NBA Finals ever. In history. And with mega-markets like San Antonio and Cleveland coming together for one of, if not the most lopsided championship match-ups ever, it's hard to imagine why. Jason Whitlock put it best when he wrote, "So why don’t the Spurs connect? Why were these finals a TV ratings disaster and a challenge to watch? Because sports fans aren’t stupid. They can sniff an impostor even when we in the media try to convince them otherwise."
Thankfully, NBA TV put together a minute and twelve seconds of all you need to see about San Antonio's third title in five years. Note that Tony Parker (better known as "Mr. Eva Longoria"), who would go on to win Finals MVP, is responsible for all three Spurs highlights.

NBA Playoffs: Pistons-Cavaliers Game 4 Preview
NBA playoffs! Very exciting! And if you're like me and just now catching up with the action, this NBA-produced preview for tonight's Pistons-Cavaliers Game 4 is the perfect place to start. In two minutes, you not only get a recap of the series's biggest moments, but predictions regarding tonight's game, including thoughts on what Larry Hughes's leg injury might mean for the Cavaliers line-up. Pistons are up 2-1, but tonight the Cavaliers are going home to Cleveland, and LeBron James looks ready to bring it. (Not that James ever looks un-ready to bring it. It's part of his charm.)
