Kevin Durant
After a 51-day hiatus from twitter, Kevin Wayne Durant returned to tweet a congratulatory message to the Miami Heat for winning the championship over his team. Classy move, indeed. Durant, who had 32 points and 11 rebounds in Game 5, was clearly overwhelmed after the loss, sharing an emotional moment with his mother as he headed for the locker room. Then and there, you had to feel for the three-time scoring champion, who showed his level of desire to

After making the decision to team up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh two summers ago, LeBron James dealt with the type of scrutiny and hate that was better suited for a WWE wrestler. All the negative attention got the best of James last season as he tried to embrace the villain role, and ultimately lost to the Dallas Mavericks in the Finals. He returned for this truncated season with a vengeance, but had the desire to do things as

“Let it fly” is certainly an appropriate way to describe the way Shane Battier has been shooting the ball in the NBA Finals. In the last three contests against the Thunder, he is averaging 14.3 points on an impossible 73.7 percent shooting (14-19), including 73.3 percent from the three-point line (11-15). Suffice to say, it’s a remarkable turnaround for someone that shot so poorly that the last three games have improved his overall shooting to 37.5 percent in 14

Tweet of the Night: Stephen Curry

Heat somehow overcame turnovers late. Lebron played great D on KD last 2 minutes. Heat looking confident esp with 2 more in Miami. #Finals

I have one glaring issue with Scott Brooks in this game. When Kevin Durant got into foul trouble in the third quarter, he was forced to be taken out. Alright, no problem, Russell Westbrook time. But then he takes out Westbrook along side Durant, and the Heat stage a quick comeback. In the finals, no matter what, the Thunder should have at least two of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden on the floor at all times. No

My Pops was never an NBA guy, but he would've been all over this OKC team with how they handle their biz. Always anti-glitz, pro humility.

If the Thunder have something going for them (besides their incredible talent, youth, and other massive assets), it’s being a major fan favorite for the general NBA fan. What’s not to like? They have no track record of any negativity, they are young, their home-court has one of the most loyal fans in the league, and that is only naming a few aspects of the Thunder. Amick later acknowledged that he was more or less referring to Scott Brooks

Brandon Roy wants to return to the NBA next season: “I’m training daily. I’m preparing for a return next year." http://t.co/bePQgNge

I haven’t followed Brandon Roy in any which way since his apparent “retirement”, so this comes relatively shocking to me. I wrote him off, chalking him as just one of those players who’s health never allowed his career to take off. That being said, I’m very happy he is trying to make a return, as Brandon Roy was a phenomenal player for the Blazers for a few years. His possible landing spots have been rumored as being Miami or
