It’s been nearly three weeks since “The Decision” and LeBron’s decision still confused me.
Why Miami?
It certainly wasn’t the best move [...]

“Keep Ya Head Up”
– 2Pac

Firstly, let me state clearly that any and all words that come out of my mouth relating to the NBA contain a heavy, at times ridiculous, bias towards the Knicks. But like P.Diddy… Can’t stop, won’t stop.
Let me also say this – if I ever see Lebron in the street, he [...]

If like me, you witnessed The Decision on ESPN Friday, you’ll wish you had that hour of your life back. But it’s hard to deny it might have been the most important hour in the history of the NBA, as far as future-shaping moments go. Some fans are upset, some excited, some downright confused. So [...]

At a private island somewhere in the Pacific…
Inside a large conference room in LeBron’s palatial island mansion, the King and Dwyane Wade sat at the head of a giant table. A series of chairs, each varying in comfort level, were spread around the table, placed horizontally.
LeBron: Damn, when are those guys gonna get here?
At [...]

With the silly season now in full swing, we only thought it fair to share our opinions on what could be the most exciting, entertaining, league-changing off season, ever! Today alone I read that these NBA “reporters” have learnt Lebron and Bosh are definitely going to Chicago. Then I read Lebron and Bosh are definitely [...]

Taking a break from the madness of the NBA Finals, the 2010 FIFA World Cup starts this weekend which should provide a brief, pleasurable diversion from footy-mad Melbourne.

However, if the King wanted to stay in Cleveland, wouldn’t you think he would’ve already re-signed the moment the option came up? What is the point of [...]

3 votes – Kevin Garnett: The Big Ticket is back in a big way these playoffs. With Antawn Jamison looking absolutely helpless against KG, Mike Brown decided that Shaq might be able to slow down Garnett. Garnett disagreed. Creating separation at will, he used his patented fade-away to get the Celts off to a [...]

J.O is the newest writer here at NBAMate. His mantra is “If it’s not NBA, it’s not BASKETBALL”. The owner of over 200 NBA ‘video-taped’ games, J.O. lives n breathes NBA on a daily basis, reads it, watches it, writes about it and challenges anybody to a game of NBA 2K10. The guy really does [...]

Votes seem inconsequential on this day. Even the result of the game seem inconsequential. All that will be remembered on this day, Day 25 of the 2010 NBA Playoffs, is that Lebron James completely stunned the basketball world. Not in the usual way he does, by flashing glimpses of basketball genius, but in a way [...]
