LeBron......May Have Other Things on his Mind

LeBron James ......stunk it up in game 4 of the NBA Finals.....

Maybe he had a problem focusing.....

Maybe.....his longtime girlfriend  and the mother of his children...was ......"dipping"...

Maybe......LeBron.....has had his heart broken.

Maybe.........

If you can believe YBF...........(they are usually right on).......

From ......"The Young, Black & Fabulous":

DO WE BELIEVE IT?: Did Wizards Baller Rashard Lewis Tap LeBron's Girl Savannah?

I'm going on the record now saying I don't believe this ish....yet.  However, I'm doing my duty of relaying the pressing gossip out here in these innanet streets.  At least the gossip that could possibly hold some water.

As it always happens during the NBA Finals, crazy rumors are hitting the streets.  And this time, yet another NBA baller has allegedly gotten it in with yet another one of LeBron James' girls.  Deets inside....

Reports say Rashard Lewis of the Washington Wizards was allegedly caught getting it in with LeBron James' long-time girlfriend and sons' mother, Savannah Brinson.

Ladies: Here's one reason you'll be able to tolerate watching the game with your man tonight.  You never know what info can leak during a game.

Supposedly, LeBron's poor performance the other night in the Heat's loss to the Dallas Mavericks was all due to him finding out Rashard Lewis and his girlfriend Savannah getting it in. Mmhmm...

The folks over at Hello Beautiful say they have a source who claims they know Rashard indeed slept with Savannah recently while he visited South Beach:
Looks like Lebron James lackluster performance in this year’s NBA playoffs is related to yet another off the court drama. Word on the street is that Rashard Lewis slept with Lebron’s girl Savannah while he was visiting South Beach.
Here’s what I found out :

I have a very reliable source who clubs and drinks with all of the athletes that come through Orlando. He was all over the Tiger Woods issue and knew what all happened with Tiger prior to it being released publicly. My buddy has a place in Orlando, Lake Nona to be exact, and he lives among some athletes that live there in Orlando. Needless to say he golfs, drinks, and parties with some of the best people in central Florida. So when word got to him while at the bar last night, he called me. Word got out while drinking with friends, that Rashard Lewis slept with Lebrons girl while visiting South Beach.

ESPN’s analyst Stephen A. Smith recently said on his radio show that Bron Bron is going through personal off court issues and that’s the reason for his poor play on the final.
Hmmm.  Stephen could have been talking about many things honestly.  And REALLY--how many unemployed women who are living the life of a come-up with arguably the richest man currently in the NBA would "downgrade cheat"?  REALLY?  Yes, we know men "downgrade cheat" OFTEN.  But is this a different scenario?

At the same time, isn't cheating in the NBA damn near a given these days?  Crazier things have happened.

There were rumors of LeBron's mom getting it in with Delonte West (and supposedly caused him to lose the Playoffs last year)--and yes, we believed that ish.  Yet, there were recent rumors of a Laker wives love triange we barely paid attention to that supposedly caused kobe and co. to lose in the Playoffs this year.  So this could be just another rumor on the NBA Finals grill.

No other hard core facts (or denials) have come out yet.  So for now--it's just a rumor.  Do we believe it?

We wish you well,  Mr. Rose...

From Yahoo.com:

ESPN pulls popular announcer from air

NBA analyst Jalen Rose will not appear in his regular role on the sports network after his recent arrest. » Details

Every ...."Rose"....Has a Thorn

This ..."thorn" .....may get Rose fired.....from the 4 letter network:

From TMZ.com:

Jalen Rose -- I Regret Getting Behind the Wheel

NBA analyst Jalen Rose was surprised he was arrested for DUI earlier this month -- telling TMZ he didn't think he was going to blow over the limit on his blood alcohol test.

0330_jalen_rose_BN_TMZ_01

Jalen admits when he wrecked his car on March 11 ... he "voluntarily submitted to blood alcohol screening because I was confident it was safe for me to drive."

TMZ broke the story -- the ESPN hoops analyst and former NBA star crashed while driving on an icy road in Michigan.  After completing several field sobriety tests he was arrested for DUI.

Jalen says he regrets the decision to drive home -- and is "sorry for disappointing those who trust me to serve as a role model."

March Madness.....In Full Force

We are pleasantly... surprised!

The "Super Bowl" of college basketball....

March Madness!

I did not fill out a bracket....I'm just watching.

And......watching ....I am.  For the first time ever.......every minute of every game is at my finger tips.

CBS......TNT......TBS .......TruTV......

What a foursome!

It works......

And .......it's working without the "four letter network"......the "world wide leader"....as in ESPN.

And that's a good thing.

The coverage has been excellent.......the announcers......the studio crews......awesome.

And all in HD!

What took this so long?

Quite an ...Endorsement!

Now this is an endorsement.....

From GaPeach913...

Courtesy ....Huffington Post:

Michael Jordan: Derrick Rose Is The MVP (VIDEO)

Michael Jordan Derrick Rose
Michael Jordan's showing a little love for his former team.

After the Chicago Bulls tore apart Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats Wednesday night, the former Bull had a lot to say about the Bulls' star point guard, Derrick Rose.

''He's the MVP for the season,'' said Jordan, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. ''He deserves it. He's playing that well. And if he doesn't get it, you'll see how I felt a lot of years.''
Rose scored 20 points and had 6 assists against Charlotte, and the Bulls have already clinched a playoff berth, reports ESPN. The potential MVP is averaging 24.5 points per game.

Jordan himself is a 5-time MVP. Rose, though humble, said it was "an honor" to have MJ refer to him like that, according to the Sun-Times.

For the full report from Yahoo Sports, check out the video below (first segment).
