Kanye West showed up on set of ‘The Decision’ last summer to support LeBron James in his new situation with the Miami Heat, but it appears the rapper’s alliance has shifted.
West has been spotted before in a Mavericks’ hat, but he also wore it to a Louis Vuitton event in Italy where Dwyane Wade was also present. The two got together to take a picture, and in one way or another the hat came off.
Kanye is doing his best to cover the logo and keep a level-headed smile with D-Wade’s arm on his shoulder. We all know the Heat have egos, so I bet Wade was hit hard when he saw one of the most popular icons in entertainment donning the apparel of the team that defeated him. Woud have been interesting to have seen his first reaction.
After all of the comparisons to Michael Jordan, it was LeBron James’ Finals counterpart and enemy that attained a similar phrase to MJ.

Beane changed the game of baseball with his statistical approach of drafting players to form a winning team that was affordable. After watching the trailer I have to say it looks very well done. Hill even looks like he pulled off the serious role in this one. Watch the ‘Moneyball’ trailer after the jump. View full article »

Not many know the intricate nature of sports and business like writer Jonah Keri, who wrote The Extra 2% to show how the Tampa Bay Rays went from worst to first using Wall Street methods.
Jonah freelances for ESPN and GQ among other publications, and hosts the aptly-named Jonah Keri Podcast. His book can be purchased here, and his latest work can be found via JonahKeri.com.
Listen below as he explains the book’s premise and we get into the current division races in baseball, and the exciting championship finals in the NBA and NHL. I don’t know what’s causing the echo towards the middle of the recording, hopefully I will have this fixed by the next episode.
Ron Artest and Jimmy Kimmel are known to have a love-hate relationship, starting with the tension that arose when Artest showed up to the set in only his boxers for a show last year.
This time Kimmel made sure Artest was the one who felt awkward, by tricking him into doing a PSA for an animal rescue organization, which subsequently we find out doesn’t exist.
Hate the man if you want, but there’s no denying Ron Artest is a character. Watch the video after the jump.
