Kevin Love is tall and lean and, standing on the podium and holding up a Cavaliers jersey number 0, he is even taller. It’s kind of weird sitting in the press conference and watching him in a three piece suit walking to the front of a group of writers and reporters and a cadre of […]

I was walking toward East 4th Street in Cleveland on Saturday afternoon with Brian Spaeth and the round23 creative team. We were shooting a series of videos for PlusByEMS.com. Brian was using the

If you only know Jack Sanders from his Cavs-centric @WayneEmbrysKids Twitter account, maybe you think he’s crazy in a fun sort of way. If you only know Jack Sanders as Cleveland Jackson, and read his work here, maybe you’d agree with me in considering him one of the most talented writers anywhere on the internet. […]

“Trainwreck” is a major motion picture featuring Cleveland Cavalier LeBron James. That’s how I first heard about it. I’ve since learned that the movie—which is currently being filmed—is directed by Judd Apatow and stars Amy Shumer, Bill Hader and a long list of other Hollywood talent. While the comedy’s plot has been kept under wraps, […]

The last time I caught up with Chet Mason was at his free inner-city youth basketball camp the day after LeBron James announced his decision to return to Northeast Ohio. Now, the overseas pro who starred at Cleveland South while winning Ohio’s Mr. Basketball is giving back to his community again with a charity basketball event […]

Cleveland appears to be looming as the center of the basketball world and home to the front runner candidates to be the next champions of the NBA. After the last four years of writing about the transient glories in otherwise humbling and humiliating losing seasons, it’s almost inconceivable that the sentence prior to this could […]

My latest at SLAM is a feature on Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dion Waiters. I spoke with Waiters this week about his summer, Coach Blatt, LeBron James, Kyrie Irving, growing up in Philadelphia and his overall excitement for the upcoming year. The article link is below along with an excerpt. SLAM – The Journey Begins: Dion […]

April 16, 2014 was an extremely regular Wednesday in Northeast Ohio. Jason Kidd was in town but his drink-spill-trick didn’t travel. He wouldn’t be wasting strategic gems like that in this contest. Instead, he rolled out a starting lineup that featured a player named Jorge Gutierrez at point guard. Gutierrez began the season as a member […]

The Dru Joyce Summer League has featured some of the area’s best local basketball talent since it began in 2010. Two years ago, reigning rookie of the year Kyrie Irving came through to compete against Northeast Ohio’s finest and I was there to see it. This year, former NBA veteran and Cleveland basketball legend Earl […]

Mary Schmitt-Boyer wrote my favorite basketball book with Wayne Embry. It’s called “Inside Game” and it’s an autobiography of Embry about his entire life. It reads like his unabridged and uncensored feelings about being hired as the GM of the Cavs, and then what his entire tenure was like, right up to his firing. It’s […]

If you look, you can find a mixtape of Andrew Wiggins dunking the basketball on Youtube, from when he was 13 years old. He is the son of an NBA player and an Olympic hurdler and he is an incredible, unreal athlete. Now 19, having lived as one of the most scouted NBA prospects ever, […]

Matthew Dellavedova was an undrafted rookie from Saint Mary’s College who was trying to prove he belonged on an NBA roster last summer. Earlier this month, he returned to Las Vegas after logging 1,271 minutes during the regular season as a rookie for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal told SLAM Magazine recently that […]
