LeBron James is also embarassed by his mom; can dunk

LeBron James' mom didn't like her son being mugged while taking it to the hoop, so she stood up and almost got into the middle of the fray down at the baseline last night. The best part is where it appears that LeBron tells his mom, Gloria (in the white shirt), to "Sit your ass down!"



I guess it must have fired him up. I know this dunk got announcer Kevin Harlan fired up, as he drops the "With no regard for human life" line on us.

LeBron James is athletic

LeBron James reached back about three feet and rammed home a stadium-shakin' alley-oop in yesterday's NBA contest versus the team from Washington.



The Cavaliers also won, by the way, in case you care about that sort of thing. Pffft.

Kobe Bryant jumps over LeBron's moving car (I think)

Either Kobe Bryant really did jump over LeBron James' speeding car or the folks at whatever shoe company Kobe endorses has a very talented advertising agency. Either way it's fun to watch and speculate.



UPDATE: He didn't really jump over the car. Thanks for ruining the fun, Kobe.

The 22 Worst Dunks Ever*

(* At least of those that appear somewhere on the Internet.)

In honor of the NBA Slam Dunk Contest's revival thanks to Dwight Howard and Gerald Green, let's have a look at what the Bizarro Dunk Contest would look like. I proudly present the dunks that would have scored a perfect 0. (Magic, however, would have have still talked for 45 minutes about each one of them, with 98% of what he said being unintelligible, while Darryl Dawkins, despite no logical reason for doing so, would still have given them all 9's.)

13. Travis Outlaw with the airball dunk!


12. Tony Parker for the ... guh!


11. Qyntel Woods three-sixtyyyyy... no, not you.


10. Bonus points for almost being killed.


9. And even more bonus points.


8. Throw it down, big man!


7. Face off the glass!


6. Props are fun!


5. Dunk over... er, into... a pretty girl!


4. Kid dunks... his leg?


3. Head off the rim!?


2. Big air!


1. Dunk off a chair!


Honorable Mention: Julian Wright, LeBron James, Some white dude, Adonal Foyle, Brandon Griffin, In the snow, Some kid on a ramp, Yet another white dude, and finally, Ricky Davis.

And boom goes the dynamite.

LeBron enters deal with State Farm

LeBron James -- Caught on tape!

Remember how LeBron James was busted on Dec. 30, his 23rd birthday, doing 101 mph, by the fuzz? Well, TMZ has the dashboard cam shots of Bron-Bron during the bust (click the image below).

The best part of the bust was LeBron's reaction: "I was doing 101,'' James said Monday after practice. "That's it. I was speeding. I've just got to abide by the law. I got caught. It happens.''

"It happens." Hilarious.
