I have to give credit where credit is due, and Lebron James did what he had to do to get back to the stage that he feels is his birth right. Myself and others may not care for his decisions, his arrogant and selfish attitude but he backed it up...

DATELINE: HUMOR! A rash of brash players yelling homophobic slurs in the NBA may not seem a big deal. After all, the sport is often considered the most thuggish of all sports. Yet, the irony remains after Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and now Chicago Bull Joakim Noah took their...
