With all due respect to one of the most respected play-by-play announcers in the business, Mike Tirico kinda ticked me off this weekend. Something he does quite often – whether on ESPN’s Monday Night Football or on NBA telecasts – is bring up a handful of storylines that have been discussed endlessly...

On the recent edition of The UC Show, the three amigos (well, two; Ed refused to co-sign) made a bold proclamation about how long the Pacers/Heat series would go… ….fo’. That’s right; in the words of The Great Philosopher Moses Malone, the series will be over in fo’ and...

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...

If you haven’t seen the photo above, then yes, let the shock and awe of this woman hit you right in the face with the middle finger. This is Joakim Noah walking off the court after being ejected in an eventual 118-75 Miami Heat drubbing of the Chicago Bulls. Noah was ejected (along with Taj Gibson,...

Rarer than a four-leaf clover, Chris Andersen is a living testament of taking full advantage of a third lease on life. The same blessing a young man 1,000 miles north prays for every day from his jail cell. Slightly hungover about three weeks ago, I decided to force myself out of bed Saturday morning...

On this edition of #theUCshow the three-man weave is back in full effect for two weeks in a row. God is good indeed. Kenny leads the three amigos in a talk as to why following your team towards a goal isn’t always the brightest idea. The man hasn’t shaved in over two months, and it’s...

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...

One of the things I’m really looking forward to during the 2013 NBA All-Star Game in Houston is that we’ll be able to see Cleveland’s formerly favorite son in LeBron James play ball with Cleveland’s adopted current favorite son in Kyrie Irving. One plays for the defending NBA...

There’s a saying that has lasted the test of time. It is safe to say that everyone, from all walks of life, has applied it to at least one situation in his or her life. It is very simple, yet eloquent and open to interpretation … You always remember your first time. At 30 years old, there are many...

That Samsung Galaxy Note II commercial is dope as hell. Who cares that it’s a contrived view into the “real” life of LeBron Raymone James? They say even in a lie there’s at least an ounce of truth. In reality, the commercial shows us what LeBron wants us to think of him. A family...
