LeBron James has nicknamed the Miami Heat The Heatles. The revelation came after the Heat’s 11th consecutive road win against the Charlotte Bobcats, 96-82, “I see we sell out 99.1 percent on the road, so we call ourselves the Heatles off the Beatles, so every time we take our show on the road we bring a great crowd.”
In the interview below, LeBron gets a kick out of his creative nickname. Based on the fact that LeBron didn’t know what “contraction” meant, I take it he just discovered who The Beatles were when their music came to iTunes… either that or he plays bass in Beatles RockBand.
Kobe Byrant and the Lakers may have lost to LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the Christmas Day clash, but it was Kobe who go the last word. While the Lakers lost 96-80, Kobe was quick to remind James that he is a “Mother F$^&@!&# Champ.”
Tonight LeBron James will return to the city he betrayed, as the Miami Heat take on the Cavaliers. Even with LeBron’s all-star supporting cast, the Heat have a dismal 11-8 record. It sure hasn’t turned out the way LeBron imagined it would when he signed with Miami this offseason, but the wound is still fresh for Cavs fans. In the name of sportsmanship and NBA commissioner David Stern’s tight ship, the Cleveland Cavaliers have banned fans from wearing any offensive T-shirts or apparel about LeBron James or his family. No word yet if this includes any Delonte West references ;)
Despite the no-fun ban, a jersey chaser can still dream and below is a list of the Top 10 Anti-LeBron James T-shirts that could have been…
Despite swindling LeBron James from Cleveland, the Miami Heat have not lived up to their much anticipated hype. Though early into the season, the Heat are only 9-8… just barley above 500, and Mr. James is not happy about it. After the Heat’s loss to the Dallas Mavericks 106-95 last night, LeBron purposely bumped into Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra.
This is not the first time LeBron has not gotten along with his coaching staff. Last off season, in an attempt to keep LeBron in Cleveland, the Cavaliers fired head coach Mike Brown.
It has been widely speculated Spoelstra will be fired. Even LA Lakers legendary head coach Phil Jakcson believes Heat President and Hall-of-Fame coach Pat Riley will take over the team.
Jackson told ESPN 1000, “That’s kind of my take on it, is that eventually if things don’t straighten out here soon, it could be the Van Gundy thing all over again.”
Jackson later apologized for his comments, but it looks like he was just saying whatever else is thinking, including LeBron.
