Sick Fit: Cavs Set Snuggie Guinness World Record

Before the unfortunate Rodney Stuckey collapse, the Cavs continued to celebrate their 40th season in the NBA by setting the Guinness World Record for ““Largest Gathering of People Wearing Fleece Blankets,” with over 20,000 fans, minus a few Pistons fans and squares, rocking Cavs-themed Snuggies for a 5-minute period. Some fans decided that 5 minutes just wasn’t enough and continued to wear the over-sized robes for the entire game, with some undoubtedly spilling beers, mustard and nacho cheese whilst also slipping out a few toots throughout the course of the game.

An adjudicator from Guinness was on hand to verify the record as the crowd looked something like those squares from Heaven’s Gate that decided it would be a good idea to drink the kool-aid. In this case drinking the proverbial kool-aid was actually decent for all the Cavs fans in attendance, who got to go home with a pretty legendary collectible Snuggie that will keep them warm for many long winter nights. The small contingent of Pistons fans at the game left with a free ass rag made of high-quality and durable fleece.

WTF? Rodney Stuckey Gets Mean Case Of The “Itis”

Damn near 20 years to the day that the Legend Hank Gathers chunked the deuces following one of your sicker bang-outs in LMU history, Pistons guard Rodney Stuckey fell out during a timeout against King James and the Cavs in Cleveland Friday. Stuckey clutched the Pistons Trainer as teammates sat on the bench without too much concern at first until he was eventually laid out on the ground for over 10 minutes, until an EMT crew was able to get him on a stretcher and take him to a local hospital for evaluation. If seeing something like that doesn’t phase you, then you done seen some crazy ‘ish.

Fortunately Stuckey wasn’t seriously impacted by the collapse, which can best be categorized as suffering from the meanest case of the “Itis” known to man. It usually comes from eating a well-fried piece of chicken or some other delicious meal, but has the tendency to pop up at the most inopportune times, like the middle of a basketball game. Whatever the case, a temporary coma is the inevitable result.

This isn’t the first time that Stuckey has collasped on the court. During a game a few years back he suffered from similar symptoms and was forced to miss a few games as a result. Stuckey was released from the hospital the following day and doesn’t appear to be suffering from any effects of fall out, which looked worse than it actually was and he should be back to giving dudes buckets in a timely fashion.

BYD: Larry Bird Says LeBron Could Be The Greatest

Larry Legend hollered at the good folks at NBA TV a few days ago and was asked a two-part question that ended with the same answer. When asked which player most embodied the skill set that he had and which was more similar to Magic, Bird quickly named LeBron as the heir-apparent in both categories. Bird went on to say that LeBron has what it takes to be the greatest of all time, dominating the floor in a manner that makes it seem like he is merely toying with opponents sometimes. Shocker.

The critics are quick to point out that LeBron doesn’t have any rings and as such can not possibly be the greatest player of all time. King James’ squad is one of your nastier in the league but only looks respectable on paper. The addition of Antawn Jamison has been whatevs to this point and LeBron still hasn’t been given a player of a Pippen caliber to be his proverbial wingman. Look at the numbers and ask yourself this question, if LeBron was on my team would the be a contender? Obviously.

Either way, NBA Legends have taken notice and are quickly becoming witnesses. Their opinions matter way more than the average journalist, reporter or square.

Decent: Cavs To Set Snuggie Guinness World Record

Anderson Varejao looking like a Sideshow Bob version of a true gentleman of leisure.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, aka King James and them, are trying to make history during their home game against the Pistons March 5 by trying to set a Guinness World Record for “Largest Gathering of People Wearing Fleece Blankets.” The team plans on distributing 20,000 customized Snuggies to fans in attendance at the game, as well as giving away some more free ones afterwards. I haven’t bought into this whole Snuggie craze, but definitely understand why people are rolling with them as they are basically just like an over-sized robe.

The chase for the record is just another promotion in the organization’s celebration of their 40th (”XL”) year in the League. While the idea is solid and a great way to promote the brand, I do have issue with Anderson Varejao serving as the official poster boy for the event. The Cavs have the best player in the league on their squad and should have just used King James, or even Shaq for that matter. But both of them probably weren’t rolling, so Andy was a decent last resort.

Awwwww: King James Practices With The Princes

A few hours before his monster performance in the 2010 NBA All-Star game, LeBron James took a little time out to play with his kids LeBron Jr. and Bryce Maximus. The kids were created with superhuman sperm so odds are they will be phenomenal athletes just like their Dad. How could they not, learning from the greatest that to ever do it?

Shaq Says Jermaine Dupri Broke Him For 200 Stacks

“This man likes to gamble with me, this man done beat me for like two hundred thousand but, I’m ready now.”

I got to give it up to Jermaine Dupri for putting up this glimpse into what the All-Star game was like for the better half, in this decently produced youtube video. JD was courtside at Cowboys Stadium for the festivities, sitting next to legends like Spike Lee, who was a little camera shy but still gave it up. The best part of the video is when Shaq pops up towering over JD, holding a fat knot and talking about how Dupri got him for 200 stacks back in the day.

Shaq then proceeds to almost accurately recite Dupri’s legendary line from “Money Ain’t A Thang.” The big fella had to be a little salty he didn’t get the courtesy All-Star nod but he appeared to be in good spirits regardless.

Sick Shot: King James Buzzer Beater From Deep

“…we are not worthy…”

Now when we say that LeBron is the best in the game right now, if not all-time, a lot of the saltier breed of human are quick to talk that heat, whether it be about Michael Jordan, Kobe or any of the other handful of legends worthy of discussion. Whilst we do believe that LeBron is the truth, that doesn’t mean that these other guys aren’t really, really good…but the King is just a little bit better.

The Knicks found this out the hard way during their visit to Cleveland Saturday, as James gave them 47 points, including a stretch of 24 straight in the first half. This 3 pointer as time expired in the first quarter, let it be known that work was going to be done all night long.

The Great Debate Continues: Kobe vs. LeBron

The Kobe vs LeBron (or LeBron vs Kobe depending on who you’re rolling with) has been known to cause bitter arguments and depending on your allegiance, can even lead to some fisticuffs. The dudes in this video get into a heated argument while riding the bus. One dude is a Kobe lover while the other is a witness to the King, which leads to a great back in forth as the argument stretches beyond basketball and gets personal.
