Posted: 26th June 2010 by Jesse Dorsey in NBA
By no means did the Cleveland Cavaliers have a successful draft night Thursday night.
They came up lame on reports that they were attempting to buy into the draft, and on a night in which their rivals in the race to woo LeBron made huge moves to lure him away, the draft night flop was no good for the Cavs chances.

Posted: 13th April 2010 by Jesse Dorsey in MLB
The Yankees had a special guest on hand for their ring ceremony Tuesday afternoon. It wasn't Yogi Berra, it wasn't Whitey Ford, and it wasn't George Steinbrenner—although they were all there.
Hideki Matsui was the true guest of honor in the house that the Core Four built.
Although Matsui wasn't with the likes of Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera, or Andy Pettitte back when the group won their first four rings ...
Cleveland Cavaliers’ Anderson Varejao: Is the Wild Thing Too Wild?
Posted: 16th March 2010 by Jesse Dorsey in NBA
The case of Anderson Varejao is definitely an interesting one. He is this era's Dennis Rodman without the flair. He is one of the most hated players in the NBA, but to most Cleveland fans he is beloved.
Now I have heard all of the complaints about Varejao; he is overpaid, a flopper, a dirty player, and a whiner. I agree with all of these complaints, at one point in his ...

NBA Trade News: Cavs’ Antawn Jamison, Steal of the Decade
Posted: 17th February 2010 by Jesse Dorsey in NBA
The Cleveland Cavaliers' recently reported acquisition of Antawn Jamison is easily the best deal of the decade so far and will be hard to top in the coming years.
The Cavs have essentially traded one of the last picks in the draft and have lost the services of Zydrunas Ilgauskas for 30 days in exchange for the "stretch four" that they have been looking for.
Jamison does so many things for the ...
The Art Of Backboard Breaking: Darryl Dawkins Vs. Shaq
Posted: 12th February 2010 by Jesse Dorsey in NBA
It is the most exciting play in basketball. The dunk elicits screams, oohs, and ahhs from the crowd and makes the highlight reels. However, the rim ripping, glass shattering, backboard breaking dunk is the one that silences the crowd, stuns the analysts, and is crammed into the history books.
