GANGSTER, GANGSTER: LeBron’s sick pass
It may have been against the team I favor, but this was the sickest highlight of the night, and one of the more gangster moves ever. Inside my heart, he doesn’t even look back. No points deducted for doing so.
Well played, Mr. James.
Your starting center for the MIAMI EAT … Eddy Curry!!!

![According to Adrian Ruhi, of the Miami Herald, Mark Cuban rented out the exclusive Miami nightclub LIV (where Drake’s Forever video was filmed), and pre-purchased at least 250 bottles of champagne, and a reported $80K bottle of Ace of Spades as big as Juan Jose Barea. I’ll be honest, I don’t even know what Ace of Spades is…
Ruhi: Nobody from Miami goes to LIV. Most expensive club in the U.S. probably. All celebs and tourists. My cousin used to wait tables there. Jay-Z, Beyonce, Weezy, NBA players there on the regular. “Regular folk” could never afford it. Bottles there cost thousands.
Reportedly, Lil Wayne, Slim Thug, Based GOD (again, pleading ignorance) and allegedly Erick Dampier (of the Miami Heat) all joined the Mavericks to celebrate.
Ever want to see Mark Cuban dance with the Larry O’Brien trophy to Jim Jones’ Ballin? You have? Lucky-dog.
DEVELOPING: Apparently, the Mavs also enjoyed 100 bottles of an presumably alcoholic beverage known as Rozay. [VIDEO] What might that be? You guess is as good as mine. (Just did the research, and I’m being led to believe Rozay is Ace of Spades? I don’t care. I delete nothing. No mistakes.)
Remember what your mothers told you: Nothing good happens after midnight…

Chris Rock explains why LeBron left
Esquire Mag writer, and Cleveland loyalist, Scott Raab interviewed Chris Rock. Read the full story here, but first, read why Chris Rock believes Cavs owner Dan Gilbert is to blame.
SCOTT RAAB: I’m writing a book about LeBron. I’m a Cleveland guy. I’m mad at him.
CHRIS ROCK: I don’t even see what the big story is. The owner’s an idiot. Why is the owner an idiot? I said it on television — you can look it up. I was at a Lakers game — they were probably playing the Knicks. It was on TNT, and Kenny and Mark Jackson and whoever interviewed me on the sidelines, they asked me about LeBron. I said, “They should trade him.” I said it, on national television.
SR: We thought he was coming back, Chris.
CR: I said you should trade him. I said any owner, any big-ego owner would take this shot. You could’ve got any player — you literally could’ve got Kobe Bryant. You could’ve got any player you wanted. You could’ve gotten literally any player outside of Kevin Durant and Dwight Howard. Any player. You could’ve got any two or three players you liked. I said this on national television. You could look it up — you’re a writer.
I said that in the middle of the season. The day the season was over, I was doing press for Grown Ups, the movie I did with Sandler. They asked me again: “Where’s LeBron going? What’s going to happen?” I said, “Well, if he’s going to Cleveland, you will know within 24 hours, but if Pat Riley gets him in a room, it’s all over.”
SR: We thought he was coming back.
CR: Why would you think he’s coming back? People move from Cleveland to Miami every f—ing day. They don’t move from Miami to Cleveland.
SR: Because of his mother. Because of Gloria.
CR: Well, guess where his mother’s living right now. In f—ing Miami. I saw that coming a mile away. Are you kidding me? He’s not signing his extension? Trade him right now.
SR: He signed for the three years. They all did — he and Bosh and Wade.
CR: He didn’t realize it? He’s an idiot — the owner’s an idiot. You’re in Cleveland, dude.
