Right...except they did, thanks to the brilliance of........Ronaldo....

Leveling apartments and killing more people makes one side "better at defense"? Interesting concept.

Woo boy, here comes another nut case that has no concept of proportional response. He also doesn't realize that what Israel is doing is bad for Israel. It's an apartheid state. They also are subjecting a huge population to abject poverty through unilateral sanctions. They are also stealing land (and don't give me any…

I should have said "some" but those as you mention, particularly on the right have made Israel way too big an issue. I remember watching a GOP debate in 2012 and wondering: "are they running for president of the US or Israel?"

More and more it is the Evangelicals that seem to be in the forefront of the anti-Palestine movement. And given that their support for an Israeli state is based on the book of Revelations and their increasing prominence in the US government at all levels, that is terrifying.

Speaking of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, I never liked how Jewish-American politicians get a free pass in being so overly concerned with Israel. There's nothing wrong with being concerned with the country of your ethnic origin. Having said that, if a Korean-American for example expressed this much concern for…

There's fault all around but an Israeli player shouldn't preach about politics either. Its basically boasting about the deaths his side is causing which at last count is rising...

"Free Palestine"

To a huge chunk of the public that sounds like "gas the jews again" thanks to some media. Looking at you, FoxNews!

There are numbers on both sides that are disturbing. Depending on which side you hear first the numbers are shocking enough for you to immediately take a stand on one side or the other. Excuse Dwight Howard for having a fucking heart.

Yes, because sports teams are so emotionally embedded in a person's soul they clearly are something just like your example. The basketball team just got the best player on the planet.... which is totally worth getting geeked up about. You, on the other hand, appear to take sports way too seriously.

Well, as a likely Pistons fan, today is your lucky day. Lebron and the Cleveland Lebrons will be Lebroning all over the Pistons for the next three to five years.

No. No, you wouldn't.

it's only a matter of time until a newspaper prints an obituary for the Heat.

Miami fans don't even follow basketball for four quarters, let alone during the off season.

I grew up in NE Ohio. My dad used to go watch Lebron play when he was a kid in high school because everyone said he was going to be huge. It's insane how long people in the area have been following him and how much they felt he was one of the community (it had to be a lot of pressure.) No matter if this really is a…

LeBron to Bosh: "Yo, man, bring it in."

I might be the only person in the world who still subscribes to SI, I mostly do it out of habit and barely read each issue, but you gotta hand it to them they broke this and the Jason Collins story and there haven't been too many exclusives bigger than those two this year.

The first person Bosh should thank is LeBron. "Decision II" earned Bosh an extra $29 million.

I dunno. It seems like buried in some of the things he said about "growing up" in the Sports Illustrated article, and implicit in the fact that he didn't repeat it this time, was an acknowledgment that The Decision was a pretty rough way to make his first announcement.

Why did the one guy burn his Adidas sneakers? Just for fun?
