And this time, they’re saying he could pair up with Dwyane Wade in, (drum roll please…) New FUCKING Jersey.

In case you didn’t know, both superstars; LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, will become free agents this summer. And there have been many rumors on whether the two should sign with the same team and if such a pairing would thrive.

The reasons against are, by now, well known. Many say that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade want their own team, won’t share the ball, and won’t take less money and/or term on contracts, which is a must for a co-superstar arrangement to happen.

There is, of course, the economy. League revenues have fallen, so the salary cap for 2010-11 will also fall, which means teams will have less to spend on free agents without triggering the luxury tax. And most owners have less disposable income to spend on NBA teams.

Then again, a LeBron James – Dwyane Wade partnership is still a possibility. It could work on the basketball court and balance sheet.

Being ‘The Man is a necessity. Not a choice. Without great teammates, James and Wade must dominate on-court for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat respectively to have any chance at winning. If being ‘The Man’ was what each truly wanted, they’d have maintained the status quo long ago by inking extensions with their current teams.

Two summers ago, James and Wade accepted lesser roles when…

You ready to rake in some cash on March?

What’s the biggest betting event of the year in North America? Not so fast if you guessed the Super Bowl. While the Super Bowl lays claim to being the largest wagered event of the year, March Madness surpasses the NFL’s crown jewel in total wagering volume, probably because the tourney stretches over three weeks.

There is still a little more than a month of college basketball to be played this 2010 NCAA college basketball season before Selection Sunday, but the talk of ”Bubble” teams and tournament seeds is starting to heat up as we hit the most exciting part of the NCAA hoops schedule.

One of the marquee games of every college b-ball schedule, Duke Blue Devils vs. North Carolina Tar Heels, tipped off already. It was the spotlight game for sports bettors as well, as it attracted the most action on the board. The sports betting public scored a solid win as the Tar Heels took it on the chin.

Online sportsbooks had Duke as a -5.5-point favorite, a number they easily covered and with approximately 75 percent of all the betting volume on the Blue Devils, it was a winner for the players. While NC won the NCAA basketball championship last season, they lost power forward Tyler Hansbrough to the NBA and have been a shadow of their former selves this season.

The North Carolina Tar Heels are near the bottom of the…

Why are we asking? Remember James’ excitement over his intentions to be in the Slam Dunk contest last season? Well, all that died down a bit this year.

Yes, LeBron James has been having second thoughts about participating in the Slam Dunk contest for the coming All-Star break this 2010 NBA basketball season. You see, after watching Dwight Howard literally steal the show before Nate Robinson won it last year, he was going ga-ga over the fact that he might actually be in the middle of it all in Dallas this year.

Unfortunately for fans of the Cleveland Cavaliers franchise player, James is no longer as enthusiastic as he was last year. Considered as one of the most prolific dunkers in the league today, James said that he is now only 50 – 50 to join the contest.

”I don’t know if you can get it back to the 80s and like in ‘98 when Vince (Carter) was in it. It was more about the dunks and less about what was going on around the dunks. We’ll see what happens,” LeBron James said.

James also mentioned the exhibition’s props and circus-like antics are part of the reason for his hesitance of participating in the 2010 NBA All-Star Slam Dunk contest. But unless James wants to further damage his public relations capital before the biggest summer of his financial life, he needs to man up and throw it down.

You see, James has had a series of PR misfires over the last…

In case you didn’t get that, the Lakers were able to advance to the conference finals after finally eliminating Houston.

Waiting for them of course, are the Denver Nuggets who have already secured their spot in the 2009 NBA Western Conference Finals days ahead of Kobe Bryant and company. And while we are expecting yet another intense best of seven series, we’re certain that Lakers owner Jerry Buss will have more class dealing with the Nuggets than Mark Cuban had.

It’s the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets for the Western Conference title as the 2009 NBA Playoffs have already narrowed down the initial 16-team field to the final four.

For Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony, he is looking forward to facing-off with one of his Team USA teammates that won the gold in Beijing, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant.

”That’s my man,” Carmelo Anthony said, who then flashed a smile. ”But I don’t know him this week.

As far as facing the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers is concerned, Antony said, ”We’re very confident. Not cocky, but confident.” Yes, perhaps Anthony has every reason to be confident considering the kind of season they’re having.

The Nuggets have been on a roll thanks to…

Championship Week is finally over, setting us up for the biggest tournament in college hoops.

In case you didn’t get that, the 2009 March Madness bracket tournament will start things off on March 19, when round one of the 64-team tournament begins. The road for the college basketball national title officially begins and in case you haven’t felt it yet, March Madness is finally here.

The Louisville Cardinals, the Pittsburgh Panthers and the Connecticut Huskies have the Big East on the verge of putting up a huge impact in the tournament as all three teams from the conference are seeded no.1 this March.

The only no.1 seeded team not coming out of the Big East is the North Carolina Tar Heels of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The Tar Heels, despite losing in the ACC conference tournament, is seeded no.1 in the South division after securing the ACC regular season title.

The Louisville Cardinals are the top overall seed in the tournament and will play in the Midwest. Although they have fellow Big East rivals like the Connecticut Huskies…

Selection Sunday is on March 15, in case you didn’t know.

That means, you should now be getting ready for the March Madness bracket tournament with Selection Sunday just around the corner. The opening round of the tournament begins on March 17 as the rest of the field gets narrowed down to four for the 2009 NCAA Final Four on April 4 and 6 at Ford Field in Detroit Michigan.

The predictions for which college teams will be picked for the 2009 March Madness bracket tournament have been coming out since the last tournament finished. The phrase ”March Madness” was coined by Henry V. Porter in 1939, to describe an Illinois high school basketball tourney. Brent Musburger first used it during his NCAA coverage in 1982 causing a legal battle almost as insane as the playoffs. But everyone finally worked things out and the madness was official. There isn’t a good record of who first called the playoffs ‘The Big Dance,’ but it does describe the action.

The five schools who have the winningnest history in NCAA Division I Men’s basketball include UCLA with 11 championships; Kentucky who won the March Madness tourney seven times; Indiana with 5 Big Dance victories; the North Carolina Tar Heels having outlasted all the other teams 4 times, including their championship win in 2005, and Duke with 3 titles.

There are 8 teams that won twice and others who are trying to reach that goal this year.

Leading the division in the America East are the Vermont Catamounts and…

People say the Blazers are the only real challengers to Memphis in the C-USA. On Thursday, they will have the chance to prove it.

Yes people, the countdown to the 2009 March Madness bracket tournament continues with another huge game on Thursday night between the fourth best team in the nation, Memphis, against the only team who has the Tigers’ number, UAB.

You read it, the Memphis Tigers are going up against the UAB Blazers again with a chance to further climb up the proverbial ladder before the brackets arrive. Memphis is currently ranked No.4 overall and since they lost to UAB two years ago, they’ve won an astounding 54 league games in a row. They also cruise down Highway 78 on an 18-game overall win streak.

Of course, another loss to the UAB Blazers will halt what has been the Tigers’ march for March. And coming to their big game against Memphis this Thursday night, the Blazers also have, although modest, winning streak of their own, having won six games in a row.

One thing going for UAB on gamenight is the fact that they have simply been phenomenal at Bartow. They are a perfect 12-0 at home this 2008-09 NCAA college basketball season and you can bet your ass that their home fans will be pumped for this one.

If you’re betting on Memphis, then you should know that…

It’s that time of the year again when we anticipate which programs will get the invite on Selection Sunday to play as bracket busters.

And in case you didn’t get that, it’s on March 15, when college hoops have Selection Sunday wherein they select which of the nation’s top schools will get to play in the 2009 March Madness bracket tournament.

With Selection Sunday less than a a month away, the countdown to the ”Big Dance” starts, the intensity level for all teams is turned up, even those with an invite already assured.

One team already assured of the green light for March Madness is the Connecticut Huskies. As the week began, UConn found themselves ranked No.1 in both the AP and ESPN / USA Today polls but they didn’t justify the top-ranking when they lost to Pittsburgh by a final of 76-68.

Sports Betting.com had UConn listed as a 3-point favorite when the game tipped off and reported pretty even betting action on it since 57 percent of the volume was on UConn in their…
