Dwyane Wade Pulls Hamstring In Heat’s Preseason Debut

Just three minutes in, “Big 3″ separated Dwyane Wade’s performance against Detroit could be described in just one word: Flash”.  Just like his nickname, if you blinked, you missed him in action.  Wade was quick to get on the court, and quick to get off it, as he came up lame holding his hamstring on [...]

Someone Should Tell LeBron James to “SSSH!”

Can someone please tell LeBron James to shut his mouth for once? I mean, seriously? How annoying can it get?
