If you looked at the 2011-12 and 2012-13 NBA seasons in a vacuum, you’d swear on your life that LeBron James was the greatest basketball player and leader the game has seen since the days of Michael Jordan and the Miami Heat the most formidable collection of talent since the dynastic teams of...

Everyone is up in arms about Andrew Wiggins holding back on his decision on where he will play college basketball next season. The kid is really taking his time, and plenty of people are getting very frustrated about where the high school phenom will land. He has it narrowed down to about four schools,...

I can speak for B-Lew, Kenny and Tinsley when I say that one of the best guests we’ve ever had on The Unsportsmanlike Conduct Show is the homie @SHERMradio. Sherm is hilarious, especially considering the fact that he is a Chi-town resident who is a Miami Heat fan, dude is nuts. Anyway, the man...

Truthfully speaking, athletes are otherworldly creatures. If you think about just how long most professional athletes, on average, have been playing said sports you come to the realization that by the time most of them are in their early 20s they’ve reached the pinnacle of their sports. If you’re...

By Brandon Caldwell / @dayandadream A few weeks back, like most random items of life that lead to sports conversations, Jason Clinkscales hit me on Facebook wondering if I agreed with Bill Simmons’ assessment that LeBron James – if basketball had an open market much like football – would...

Above was the NBA’s reminder of the least expected stretch of regular season excellence in its history. In what seems like a league FAR different from the one we see today, the Houston Rockets pulled off an incredible 22-game winning streak from January 29th – March 16th, 2008. Over the course of...

On this edition of #theUCshow, the three-man weave is back in full effect, and everyone is better off for it. Let the true shenanigans and tomfoolery begin. Somehow Kenny was the gall and the audacity to come back onto this show and become a bandwagon fan, hopping onto the Dominican Republic’s...

By Alex Wong / @steven_lebron On Monday, the Heat took their 22-game win streak into Boston, on the second half of a road back-to-back, against a Celtics team that for several years running has always given Miami the toughest competition in the regular season and playoffs. And so, if it’s possible...

Ed’s Note: There are times when dunks, crossovers, insane tackles and other things that can cause extreme embarrassment to players and raucous laughter amongst the consumers of live sports, yet don’t meet the (singular, as in mine, and mine only) criteria of what should be an obituary post....

The tidal wave of commentary in Michael Jordan /LeBron James discussion may have angered, excited, or at least exhausted fans, but it has appeared to solidify what has been a remarkable shift in views on James’ career. A player once viewed in the vein of Magic Johnson when he was a high school junior...

By G. Hylton / @realgoesright Welcome to the The Sports Fan Journal All-Star Weekend Recap. I’m your host, RealGoesRight. Over the last few years, I haven’t given more than a cursory glance to the All-Star Weekend festivities, choosing to mostly pay attention to the game on Sunday and ignore Friday...

My late father pledged allegiance to Jim Brown and Johnny Unitas. See, growing up with parents who actually saw them play was enlightening in ways most people could never understand. Whereas most of my friends had parents who were born in the 1960s and early 1970s, my parents were in their twenties...
