LeBron James continued to show his support for Colin Kaepernick after the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback settled his collusion grievance with the NFL on Friday. Speaking to reporters Saturday during NBA All-Star Weekend, James said he respects Kaepernick for the sacrifice he made to bring greater

It didn’t take long for LeBron James to demonstrate just how little of a chance the Boston Celtics have at advancing to the NBA Finals. After getting his first two buckets of the night by blowing right by Jae Crowder—exactly the kind of brawny forward people have spent years tricking themselves into believing can…

Somehow, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk, and Avery Bradley were not enough to stop the Cleveland Cavaliers or even slow them down very much. The final score was not that imposing, as the Cavs won just 117-104, but Cleveland emotionally disemboweled the Celtics early and turned the entire second half into a soggy…

LeBron James spent the first half of Game 1 destroying the Celtics. He was the best player on the court to such a comical degree, and watching him and the Cavs roll through the weak-ass Celtics was like watching an older sibling pull the “Stop hitting yourself!” routine. LeBron went for 23 points, five boards, and…

The Toronto Raptors came into these playoffs with a well-known “LeBron Stopper” on the roster in DeMarre Carroll. The Hawks got swept by the Cavs when Carroll played the role for Atlanta in 2015, and James averaged 26.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, and 6.7 assists on 62.2 percent shooting when the Cavs beat Carroll’s Raptors…

So far the story of the second-round series between the Cavs and the Raptors is the degree to which the Cavs are completely unbothered by their opponents. Here’s the series summed up, in one image:

For the second consecutive postseason, it has become abundantly clear that the Toronto Raptors are going to get owned by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Dahntay Jones signed a veteran’s minimum contract with the Cavaliers on the very last day of the regular season, meaning that his prorated salary for the year was $9,127. The 36-year-old earned three garbage-time minutes at the end of last night’s win over the Raptors, and in those three minutes he managed to dunk a…

The Cavs may have had their troubles almost blowing leads against the Pacers, yet they still swept Indiana away and got a week off before their second round series against the Raptors. Indiana gave the Cavs more trouble than they anticipated, but LeBron James remains untouchable so it sort of didn’t matter. The…

Are the Cavs a bit rusty after an eight-day layoff between the first round and the second?

The LeBron James-less Cleveland Cavaliers coughed up another fourth-quarter lead tonight and lost in overtime to the Miami Heat. The result gives the Boston Celtics the first seed in the Eastern Conference and keeps the Miami Heat’s playoff hopes alive. It’s also utterly demoralizing for the Cavs.

The Atlanta Hawks downed the Cavs today in overtime after coming back from a 93-67 deficit early in the fourth quarter. It’s the biggest blown fourth-quarter lead in almost 15 years.

In the first half of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 114-91 win over the Boston Celtics last night, LeBron James threw down a massive dunk, served up a demoralizing block on the other end, and then trotted into the crowd to bask in the attention of his adoring fans. This game was not in Cleveland.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled mightily since the All-Star break, watching the Boston Celtics catch up with them atop the Eastern Conference standings thanks to their putrescent defense. Since getting throttled by the Spurs last week, the Cavs have stabilized and won three out of four, although they’ve given…

The suddenly desperate Cavs won a double-overtime game agains the Pacers on Sunday, allowing them to maintain their tie with the Celtics for the No. 1 seed in the East. It wasn’t exactly an inspiring win, though, as they needed 52 minutes and a 41-16-11 triple-double from LeBron James to pull out the win. Then there’s…

For the first time in over a year, the Cleveland Cavaliers are no longer the top seed in the Eastern Conference. That honor belongs to the Celtics for the moment, after the Cavs got rocked by the Spurs in San Antonio tonight. Cleveland has looked like ass from the ass factory since the All Star break, and tonight’s L…

One of the many outlandish claims that Lonzo Ball’s dad LaVar made on his recent press tour to proclaim the supreme basketball ability of his three sons was that his kids were set up for success in the NBA more than LeBron’s two sons. Specifically, Ball said that LeBron’s sons aren’t primed for NBA success the way…

The Cavaliers became the first team in the East to clinch a playoff berth with their 125-120 win over the Lakers on Sunday night, on the backs of huge games from Kyrie Irving (46 points), LeBron James (34 points), and Kevin Love (21 points, 15 rebounds). It’s fully fair to speculate if any or all of the Big Three’s…

Before last night’s nationally televised game against the Clippers, the Cavaliers announced that they’d be resting their three best players. LeBron James, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving took a seat while L.A. breezed to a predictably easy victory. The NBA was, just as predictably, not pleased.

In the fourth quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ win over the Utah Jazz on Thursday, LeBron James blew past George Hill to throw down a thundering one-handed slam.

The Cavs had their hands surprisingly full with the Pistons tonight and ultimately lost, but who cares for the details there when you can bask in the glory of this gorgeous LeBron dunk instead?

Patriots coach Bill Belichick was in attendance for last night’s 103-99 Celtics win over the Cavs, and he had good seats:

In his first game with the Cleveland Cavaliers since being signed two days ago, Deron Williams scored four points on 2-for-8 shooting in 24 minutes, recording two rebounds and two assists. It would have been an utterly bland outing … had it not been for his missed, game-costing shot in the final seconds of the…

For the first time since LeBron returned to Cleveland, the rest of the Eastern Conference is not quaking in utter fear of the Cavaliers. Toronto just traded for Serge Ibaka and P.J. Tucker, and they clearly think they might have a chance to give the Cavs a run. Kevin Love is hurt and may not be back until the…

A half-baked theory: LeBron saw John Wall’s otherworldy self-nutmeg pass last night and decided to one-up him tonight. And, uh, yeah he sure did.

Since dropping a bizarre overtime game to the lowly Sacramento Kings, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers have righted the ship (on-court, anyway). They’ve gone 6-1 over their past seven and beat a Wizards team playing its best ball of the season earlier this week. For all the legitimate handwringing about the…

What do we know? We know Phil Jackson wants to move Carmelo Anthony before this month’s trade deadline. We know player/coach/GM LeBron James wants the Cavs to make a move to get better ahead of another title push. We know the Knicks are big on Kevin Love, even though a Love-for-Melo swap doesn’t really make any sense…

Take heart, D.C. fans. Sometimes the best basketball player alive is just gonna throw in a one-legged 25-foot turnaround fallaway jumper high off the glass to tie the game with 0.3 seconds left in regulation in your building. It happens! Or anyway, it happened.
