LeBron James's new Nike sneakers proclaim him as a "2-Time Champion."

LeBron X low "Floral" edition
Getting a little ahead ourselves, aren't we? Nike does know that if the Spurs win tonight, these shoes are going straight in to the recycling bin (I am Canadian, everything gets recycled here, EVERYTHING), right?  Which is not all bad, not that I want LeBron to lose or anything (I actually feel bad for the dude), but they are hideous and no one should ever fork up $200 bucks for it. No one except for Craig Sager, those will go great with a matching jacket.

Dwight Howard is too tall for normal pants.

Tall People Problems. Via: @shegotgame
Being tall isn't as glamorous as it seems, not every store has size 36" x BAJILLION" pants readily available. At least Dwight never had any problems finding Ed Hardy shirts. He has plenty of those.

Kobe Bryant has his own statue in China.

Kobe Bryant is obviously super popular in China (NBA leader in jersey sales in China for six years running), so the statue sort of makes sense, but don't think too much of it, Stephon Marbury got his own too.

Dwight Howard isn't leaving for Houston because Metta World Peace has him by the balls.


Yes, those were Metta's exact words. From CSN Houston:
When asked about the Lakers center who is about to be a free agent, World Peace said, “Well, he’s not going to Houston, I tell you that. 
“You know how those horses have those little things, ties in a bullfight, you tie those things to their balls and they go crazy? I’ve got two of those tied to Dwight Howard’s testicles, so he can’t move.” 
After massive laughter, Sportsradio 610′s Mike Meltser asked, “So you think Dwight is definitely staying in LA?” 
“He can’t move,” World Peace answered. “If he does, it’ll be painful. So he can’t go nowhere.”
As if his off-season wasn't already wild enough.

Dwyane Wade wears his nickname, W.O.W, around his neck.

Via: @cjzero
Remember how great of an idea it was for Dwyane Wade to nickname himself, W.O.W., so he would always be synonymously linked to random calls by announcers in awe? Well, it's still a thing and really, it's kind of sad at this point. The worst part is that he can't even go back to being "Flash," because, you know, knees.

Nate Robinson can magically jump through doors.


Cool, but you can just use the door like a normal person.
