I spoke with 2x NBA champion James Jones for my latest at SLAM Magazine. I asked Jones how he, as a veteran, is able to move past the spectacle of Cavs media day and help set the tone for training camp. He offered some valuable insight and description of both his approach, as well as his […]

SLAM – For The 216: This past weekend, Thompson linked up with teammate LeBron James and All-NBA point guard Chris Paul for a workout session at UCLA. While there, he was able to observe some of the work […]

Ben Rohrbach of Yahoo!’s Ball Don’t Lie posted an article on Tuesday highlighting the Northeast Ohio weddings who recently incorporated the LeBron James chalk toss into their nuptial celebration. Congratulations to the Perk’s and the Lawver’s, by the way, who may very well spend their one year anniversaries at an NBA Championship parade on Prospect next summer. […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
