A week after James ripped his general manager’s team-building efforts, drawing criticism from the media, including TNT’s “Inside the NBA” crew, the Cavs star let loose to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin:
“I’m not going to let him disrespect my legacy like that,” James said of Barkley. “I’m not the one who threw somebody through a window. I never spit on a kid. I never had unpaid debt in Las Vegas. I never said, ‘I’m not a role model.’ I never showed up to All-Star Weekend on Sunday because I was in Vegas all weekend partying.

Ronda Rousey KOs Bethe Correia In 34 Seconds At UFC 190 Title Bout
By Kevin Lole, Aug 02, 2015 Yahoo
Ronda Rousey is quickly becoming one of the most iconic athletes in sports. On a night when many of the biggest superstars from sports and entertainment, including NBA stars Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, NFL star Aaron Rodgers, and actors Sylvester Stallone and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson were tweeting to her to wish her luck, she rose to the occasion yet again.
She needed only 34 seconds this time to retain her women's bantamweight title over Bethe Correia, but this wasn't the same old Rousey.
Her striking, which some said was her weakness, led her to the one-sided victory in the main event of UFC 190 at HSBC Arena Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Rousey's striking overwhelmed Correia, whose striking had led her to a 9-0 mark entering the bout. But Rousey ripped Correia with clean, hard shots and finished it with a right to the temple. Correia fell on her face as referee John McCarthy quickly stopped it.

ABC Accidentally Shows LeBron James’ Penis During NBA Finals
By Variety Staff, Jun. 11, 2015
ABC got a little too close to LeBron James on Thursday night. Prior to the start of Game 4 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors, James adjusted his shorts during a team huddle, briefly exposing his penis on live television.
Viewers quickly took to Twitter to talk about the incident.
Ten years ago, nearly 90 million people watched Justin Timberlake briefly expose Janet Jackson’s breast during a halftime performance. The FCC fined CBS a record $550,000 for the flashing, which was later voided by the Supreme Court in a long and very public indecency battle.

LeBron, Kyrie Wear "I Can't Breathe" Shirts
 |
| Al Bello / Getty Images Source: ESPN |
BROOKLYN -- Several players on both the Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets, including LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Kyrie Irving and Deron Williams, wore black "I Can't Breathe" T-shirts during pregame warm-ups Monday, following in the footsteps of Chicago Bulls guardDerrick Rose who wore the same shirt in a game Saturday to show support for the family of Eric Garner.
"It's not a Cavs thing," James said before the game. "It's a worldly thing."
On several occasions in the past couple weeks, James has spoken out about the deaths of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Tamir Rice in Cleveland. Like Garner, Brown and Rice were both African-American males that died because of a confrontation with a police officer.
"It's just for us to make a [statement] to understand what we're going through as a society," James said when asked about the T-shirt. "I've been quoted over and over about what's going on as far as it's more of a notion to the family, more than anything. Obviously, as a society we have to do better. We have to be better for one another. It doesn't matter what race you are. It's more of a shout out to the family more than anything, because they're the ones that should be getting all the energy and effort."

LeBron James: The Next Warren Buffett?
It took Buffett 50 years to hit $700 million. Yet, in his next 33 years, he’d bank an astounding $62.3 billion more wealth.
Buffett grew that wealth through a series of savvy business moves by buying great companies that found huge success in the years after he took a stake in them.
Now, imagine where Buffett might be if he had been worth hundreds of million in his twenties.
That’s exactly the position we find LeBron James. LeBron is only 29, has become an unexpected protégé to Buffett (seriously), and he’s quietly building sport’s most powerful business empire with the help of the Warren Buffett.
Buffett: LeBron James is savvy
While they’re an unlikely duo, sightings of LeBron James and Warren Buffett together are not hard to find. The two dined together (along with Bill Gates!) in Las Vegas and have been spotted golfing in Sun Valley together.
Get this, LeBron even sends his financial statements to Warren Buffett! Here’s an excerpt from an interview with LeBron in Sport Illustrated:
“I sent an e-mail about this to Warren Buffett. I'm a kid from Akron who lived in poverty for a long time, and I sometimes send financial statements to one of the richest guys ever. It's kind of scary. I'm like, 'Why is he talking to me?'”
LeBron doesn’t need to worry why Buffett would spend time advising him, because Buffett has been nothing but glowing in his praise of LeBron. In an interview with NBA TV, Buffett described LeBron as “remarkably mature,” being “plenty smart about financial matters,” and saying “I was impressed with him right from the moment I met him.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Celebrations aside, LeBron James' decision to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA could complicate the Republican Party's plan to nominate its presidential contender on Lake Erie's shores in 2016.
If James leads his team into post-season play then, the GOP could find its preferred June 28 start date for the convention impossible because of the site conflict. Convention planners typically take weeks to customize the space with lights, seats and the traditional balloon drop from the rafters — impossible tasks if the Cavaliers go into post-season play.
That leaves Republicans looking at their backup date of July 18, still earlier than parties typically nominate their presidential hopeful in recent years, but later than RNC chief Reince Priebus preferred.
"All options remain on the table as we're still very early on in the negotiation process," RNC spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said. "We're excited about Cleveland, and LeBron's return is further evidence that it's a city on the rise."
Priebus insisted his party's convention be scheduled for early summer 2016, roughly two months sooner than has become the norm. That would give the GOP's next presidential nominee quicker access to tens of millions of dollars in general election cash.
"The candidate can be broke, but they're not able to raise general election money until the convention is held," Priebus said earlier this week.
But James' return to the Cavaliers from the Miami Heat could complicate that timeline and perhaps Republican efforts to win the White House. Teams with James have made it to the league finals in five of the last eight seasons, and his move to Cleveland is unlikely to reverse that trend.
Cleveland on Tuesday won the unanimous backing of a RNC panel, all but guaranteeing the GOP's 2016 presidential pick will accept the party's nomination in perennially hard-fought Ohio. RNC lawyers are now in negotiations with Cleveland's organizing committee over the exact terms of the bid, including how many weeks of early and exclusive access Republicans can expect in the Cavaliers' arena.

ESPN reports that you can add the Clippers to the list of teams that plan to make a run at LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony in free agency, despite a lack of cap space, but that Blake Griffin is "untouchable" in any circumstances.
The Los Angeles Clippers have strong interest in pursuing LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony if they can clear the requisite salary cap space to make a maximum-level offer to the superstars, who have both elected to become free agents starting July 1.
One player they have no interest in moving, however, is forward Blake Griffin. While the Clippers would need to move significant players and money to make a run at either James or Anthony, sources told ESPN that Clippers president and coach Doc Rivers has told Griffin on numerous occasions that he considers him "untouchable" in any trade.
via Los Angeles Clippers consider Blake Griffin untouchable in free-agent pursuit, according to sources - ESPN Los Angeles.
This has been floating out there for a while, and Tuesday it was reported that while Miami is James' main choice, he is intrigued by the idea of the Clippers. And it makes sense. James has known Clippers point guard Chris Paul since they were kids. They were groomsmen for each other's weddings, and Paul is godfather to one of LeBron's sons. That relationship is stronger than that of James and Anthony, and even that of James and fellow Heat star Dwyane Wade.
Los Angeles offers him proximity to the entertainment complex in Hollywood, which James is becoming further and further invested in. (He has two films reportedly in production.) It enables him to play in LA without teaming with Kobe Bryant and dealing with the complicated egos there. He gets to play with Doc Rivers whom he has long respected from their playoff battles. Don't get confused, this isn't fantasy. If the Clippers can seriously figure out a deal, this could happen.

The Pacers may not have won, but basketball fans will never forget Lance Stephenson’s hilarious antics in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat. In the span of one series, Stephenson tried to get inside LeBron James’ head by saying he has a weakness, was fined $15,000 for flopping on two separate occasions, snuck into the Miami Heat huddle, committed a flagrant foul on Norris Cole, blew air into James’ ear and was subsequently called out by Larry Bird.

TMZ posted portions of a taped conversation between L.A. Clippers Owner Donald Sterling and his girlfriend. The fit hit the shan. Magic Johnson called for Sterling to resign. Relinquish the team! ESPN is breathlessly covering this “major story.”
Magic Johnson said in a statement:
“It’s a shame that Donald Sterling feels that way about African-Americans. He has a team full of amazing African-American basketball players that are working to bring a championship to Clippers fans. The Clippers also have a strong minority fan base.”
He later said:
"Something has to be done, and if that means him losing the team, then that has to happen," Johnson said. "The league has to come down hard and make a statement.''
The Clippers’ statement read:
"We have heard the tape on TMZ. We do not know if it is legitimate or if it has been altered. We do know that the woman on the tape -- who we believe released it to TMZ -- is the defendant in a lawsuit brought by the Sterling family alleging that she embezzled more than $1.8 million, who told Mr. Sterling that she would 'get even.' Mr. Sterling is emphatic that what is reflected on that recording is not consistent with, nor does it reflect his views, beliefs or feelings. It is the antithesis of who he is, what he believes and how he has lived his life. He feels terrible that such sentiments are being attributed to him and apologizes to anyone who might have been hurt by them. He is also upset and apologizes for sentiments attributed to him about Earvin Johnson. He has long considered Magic a friend and has only the utmost respect and admiration for him -- both in terms of who he is and what he has achieved. We are investigating this matter.”
"There is no room for Donald Sterling in our league. … Obviously, if the reports are true, it's unacceptable in our league. It doesn't matter, white, black or Hispanic -- all across the races it's unacceptable. As the commissioner of our league, they have to make a stand. They have to be very aggressive with it. I don't know what it will be, but we can't have that in our league."
Well, move over Cliven Bundy, who moved over after George Zimmerman. Meet America’s Next New White Bigot -- Donald Sterling. The “racist” hires a respected, expensive championship-winning black coach, who happens to be married to a white woman. The “racist” pays his black starting point guard $18 million annually. Oh, and the “racist” Sterling’s girlfriend, with whom he’s seen in public, is a black Latina.
Yep, dude sounds just like a Klansman.
Now, can we please calm down?
An old guy has a verbal fight with his girlfriend, which she apparently -- surreptitiously -- records. They quarrel. The most eye-raising parts have to do with Sterling, 80, telling his girlfriend, 38, that he doesn’t want her attending games with black people. His reasons appear to be that his girlfriend, who describes herself as black and Mexican, would look -- to others -- more white if she sat next to white people. I guess. I really don’t know.
And care even less.
Despite his obvious anger, Sterling never says the “n” word, let along calls her a “c” word. He expresses admiration for Magic Johnson. He even asks her almost in disbelief or surprise, “You think I’m a racist!” Then the now ex-girlfriend, currently being sued by the Sterling family for embezzling almost $2 mil, delivers the recording to TMZ. And here we go again with America’s newest racist. Tiger Wood’s quarrel ended with his SUV smashed into a tree. Mel Gibson’s rant included a wish that his girlfriend be “raped by a pack of n--gers.” But this will do.

Mel Gibson’s rant included a wish that his girlfriend be “raped by a pack of n--gers.” But this will do.
A certain beloved, foul-mouthed, Los Angeles ex-baseball manager privately swore and dropped non-PC words with ease and familiarity -- but we laughed and considered the source. And, like Sterling, he had black and white players.
What about Bill Maher? He is a part-owner of the Mets -- that is when not calling Sarah Palin the “c” word or Michelle Bachman “a dumb t--t” or when not joking about Palin’s son Trig, who has Down Syndrome. Should MLB investigate and monitor his stand-up for foul language?
Speaking of racist public figures, if Sterling ought not own a team, then the Rev. Al Sharpton ought not have a TV show. How does the race-hustling, anti-Semitic, non-tax paying, FBI would-be drug-dealing snitch, “civil rights” leader who lied his way to fame warrant a show on MSNBC?As to the seriousness of Sterling’s comment, a little perspective. The beloved Lakers owner Jerry Buss once got busted for DUI. As always with drunk drivers, only good fortune stopped someone from getting hurt or killed. But this was quickly dropped from media attention.
Again, Buss … could … have … killed … somebody. Sterling had a verbal fight with a flirty girlfriend.
As for Magic Johnson’s reaction, let me say this. Magic, love you, but your confessed behavior endangered your family, your team and others. Sterling quarreled with his GF. Martina Navratilova said if a woman did what you did, she would have been called a "slut." Sterling should be shunned?!
Did Magic call for a Clippers boycott when, for years, its owner mistreated Elgin Baylor, stiffed players and twice settled housing discrimination lawsuits? Or when in 2000, Sports Illustrated named the Clippers the “worst” franchise in North American history? But now because Sterling says he doesn’t want his squeeze hanging with brothers -- he’s unfit to own a team? Why the “racist” even gave her permission to “f--k” any black person she wants -- provided she didn’t strut around Staples with the guy. A gold-digger’s dream. Old money, young sex. Such a deal! Some racist!
Can black and white victicrats take a day off from being "offended"? Dolts -- whether Bundy or Sterling -- who are incapable of harm, say stupid things. The real issues -- under-education, irresponsible breeding and parenting, and lack of jobs -- have nothing to do with Sterling’s jealously and will not be resolved by his public flaying.
About racism, consider this. A 2013 poll finds that as between blacks, whites and Hispanics, blacks are the most racist. Even blacks said they were the most racist. Should we screen players and fans for racism before they enter the stadium?
Oh, the moralizing from the NBA.! This a league where reportedly some 50 percent of players have kids out of wedlock. How bad is the problem?
What effect does this have on kids who look up to ballplayers? Will the league be investigating that?
This is from Sports Illustrated in 1998: “Although there have been no studies on athletes and their out-of-wedlock kids, those who are familiar with the issue say the numbers are staggering. ‘I'd say that there might be more kids out of wedlock than there are players in the NBA,’ estimates one of the league's top agents, who says he spends more time dealing with paternity claims than he does negotiating contracts.
The league allowed Kobe Bryant to keep playing while being prosecuted for rape -- but Sterling must relinquish his team? Really?
"Racist" comments are common in locker rooms. Can we secretly tape that sometime? Regarding Sterling’s “racist” language, did anyone bother to read the NFL report on Richie Incognito's bullying? Racist, homophobic put-downs are common in locker rooms -- but we’re shocked to hear it on tape. Will someone secretly tape an NBA locker room? We'll see how it holds up to public scrutiny.
Will Sterling haters willing to have the most severe fight with a spouse/girlfriend secretly recorded and released, please stand up?
What about these "racists"? 10 'Teachable' Race Summits in Search of a Beer

- Sigh. Next comes the part where Sterling produces a black friend willing to be called Uncle Tom. Sterling then hires black PR firm, spreads money.
- It’s a scam. The search for the Great White Bigot keeps blacks angry -- all the more to retain that 95 percent Democrat, GOP-are-racists black vote.
- Media snags another old racist white guy! America can sleep well tonight. Sure, "racism is alive and well," but another one down!
- Did media care about Donna Brazile’s racism? The former Al Gore campaign manager told The Washington Post that the GOP has a "white boy attitude" and seeks to "exclude, denigrate, and leave behind."
- What about Bill Clinton? “A few years ago,” Clinton said to Ted Kennedy during the 2008 primary season, according to the book, "Game Change,” [Obama] would have been getting us coffee.” Crickets. People stand and applaud when Clinton enters.
Meanwhile, non-racist media ignore 234 kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls. So, victicrats! March against "racism." Move over Bundy, Zimmerman. Today, it's Sterling!
Once again, we aren’t talking about the broken promises of Obamacare. Scandals like IRS, Benghazi or Fast & Furious have long left the front pages.
This is flat-out, hands down, the worst economic “recovery” in 80 years, if not the worst in American history. Don’t believe me?
This is from the Associated Press: “Since World War II, 10 U.S. recessions have been followed by a recovery that lasted at least three years. An Associated Press analysis shows that by just about any measure, the one that began in June 2009 is the weakest…. Economic growth has never been weaker in a postwar recovery. Consumer spending has never been so slack. Only once has job growth been slower. More than in any other post-World War II recovery, people who have jobs are hurting: Their paychecks have fallen behind inflation.” The administration cannot brag about growth or job creation. So spend time and energy on nonsense.
But let’s talk Cliven Bundy. Let’s talk Sterling. Let’s
talk Zimmerman.
Black unemployment just went up,
month-to month, from 12 percent to 12.4 percent. We have sky-high teen
unemployment, especially among black teens. Members of the Congressional Black
Caucus have called the black unemployment rate “unconscionable.” National debt is
up substantially. The entitlement programs remain on an unsustainable path. And
we just added a new expensive entitlement: Obamacare -- a drain on freedom and
prosperity, whose full price tag is as yet unknowable.
Fifty years of welfare state policies
have de-stabilized families and created fatherless homes -- all of which
exacerbate problems of crime, school dropout rates, under-education and
government dependency. Tupac Shakur said, “I know for a fact that had I had a
father, I’d have some discipline. I’d have more confidence.” Tupac admitted he
began running with gangs because he wanted structure and protection: “Your
mother cannot calm you down the way a man can. Your mother can't reassure you
the way a man can. My mother couldn't show me where my manhood was. You need a
man to teach you how to be a man.”
President Obama said: “Children who
grow up without a father are five times more likely to live in poverty, nine
times more likely to drop out of schools and 20 times more likely to end up in prison.
They are more likely to have behavioral problems, or run away from home, or
become teenage parents themselves."
Wave a magic wand. Remove racism from
the hearts of the Bundys, Sterlings and Zimmermans. The effect on these
problems is what?
So let’s talk “income disparity,” or
“climate change” or that “racism remains alive and well in America.”
Sigh.
Well, it’s a really nice afternoon here
in L.A. I'm going out for yogurt.
