    MY MAN LBJ hes gettin it done CAVS CHAMPS

  • niQ Posted: Dec.10 at 8:55 am
    haha the game just comes easy for him i guess.

  • Ryne Nelson Posted: Dec.10 at 8:57 am
    It tends to come easier against the Raps.

  • Ken Posted: Dec.10 at 8:58 am
    Cute. He’s more likable than the mailman too.

  • Ken Posted: Dec.10 at 8:59 am
    Oh yeah, and next I want to see Dwight or Amare do an homage of Kemp’s dunk where he points at the guy on the floor afterwards.

  • riggs Posted: Dec.10 at 9:02 am
    will he have as many illegitimate children as the mailman?

  • Darksaber Posted: Dec.10 at 9:16 am
    Dude doesn’t even look as if he’s high up when he doesn’t pull his legs up midair. It’s TOO easy for Leboom, too easy.

  • WhaHuh Posted: Dec.10 at 9:21 am
    caron did this the other day, except the wiz lost that one

  • Jess - frustrated Raps fan Posted: Dec.10 at 9:30 am
    ouch Ryne, ouch haha. But everything for everyone is easier against the raps as of late. Did you see the first two plays of the game last night. two steals and two LeBron dunks…I knew right then that it was over. LBJ is a beast…MVP..MVP..MVP

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 9:38 am
    Overrated, and he lacks lateral quickness on D, plus they keep playing sh*tty teams. The Cavs’ streak of NINE STRAIGHT WINS by 12 points or more — an all-time NBA record — is a fraud, and LeBron’s averages of 27, 7, 6 and 2 are only good because Nike spends a lot of money marketing him.
    Plus, he stole that chalk thing from KG.
    Also, Kobe’s way better.
    And anyone who’s friends with Jay-Z can’t be trusted.
    So quit with the jock-riding!
    Did I forget anything?

  • k.o. Posted: Dec.10 at 9:45 am
    He sounds like the tinman when he throws it in

  • blackice87 Posted: Dec.10 at 9:45 am
    He speaks poorly.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 9:56 am
    Thanks fellas. I knew I’d overlook something.

  • jd Posted: Dec.10 at 9:57 am
    @ryan jones
    quit hatin dog, give bron his props. he’s puttin in work man.

  • Eboy Posted: Dec.10 at 9:57 am
    I agree with almost all of Ryan’s comment…..except the nine straight wins thing….I don’t think they really have won those games….they’re fabricated wins….just to boost ratings and to line Stern’s pocket with more revenue…I think the Cav’s true record is 4-18. :)

  • Bishop1405 Posted: Dec.10 at 10:04 am
    His hairline is jacked up!

  • Justin Walsh Posted: Dec.10 at 10:07 am
    I see you Bron. Ryan Jones with the immaculate sarcasm :) Eboy with the continued love for Stern, and I react with stealing that animated GIF for an avatar!

  • Tyler Posted: Dec.10 at 10:10 am
    Man he makes the hoop look like it’s 7 feet high.

  • Rich Posted: Dec.10 at 10:12 am
    Well, one thing I know: with the chalk thing, it all started with Jordan (people from Chicago know what I’m talking about). Jordan used to just clap his hands with it in front of the broadcasters. KG took it a step further and clapped really hard when he dabbed it on. Now Lebron just doin’ his own thing, flinging it in the air. Original.

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.10 at 10:14 am
    That kind of solidified it for me that—as great as LeBron is—he’ll always be a bit of a tool. LeBron’s cornier than Kobe’s ever been.

  • GotHandles? Posted: Dec.10 at 10:14 am
    LBJ is a an alien. Dude took off from right in front of the foul line.

  • John D Posted: Dec.10 at 10:15 am
    jd: You suck at sarcasm.

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.10 at 10:22 am
    He had at least two or three better dunks in that GAME. The hand-behind-the-head thing was stupid when Karl Malone did it. Besides, you’d think someone as well-versed in NBA history as Bron would realize that copying the Mailman is the b-ball equivalent of covering a Rod Stewart song.

  • Myles Brown Posted: Dec.10 at 10:23 am
    24th.

  • Myles Brown Posted: Dec.10 at 10:25 am
    I do love the sound of his dunks though. Very distinctive for some reason. He probably stole it from Kobe.

  • Ken Posted: Dec.10 at 10:30 am
    RB: “copying the Mailman is the b-ball equivalent of covering a Rod Stewart song.”
    Ooooooh…burn!

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.10 at 10:41 am
    LeBron’s got some Rickey Henderson in him. In short, he believes the hype. What I’m trying to say is that this is all Jones’s fault. THANKS, RYAN.

  • John D Posted: Dec.10 at 10:42 am
    I don’t understand how people used to say all the time how narcissistic Kobe was, yet I’ve never heard that about Bron. I’m pretty sure Bron would marry himself if he could.

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.10 at 10:42 am
    Agreed on the sounds, though. Guess that’s what happens when you drop from the scoreboard every time.

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.10 at 10:43 am
    Can someone do something about that stupid McDonald’s logo?

  • Myles Brown Posted: Dec.10 at 10:47 am
    15 year old Louisiana girls are cringing and hoping that Bron doesnt continue to copy the Mailman.

  • Justin Walsh Posted: Dec.10 at 10:55 am
    oh Myles, you (kid)der

  • Michael Posted: Dec.10 at 11:06 am
    how pathetically defensive ryan jones is

  • John D Posted: Dec.10 at 11:10 am
    Agreed, Michael. Was it funny? Mildly. Was it pathetic? Definitely.

  • Darksaber Posted: Dec.10 at 11:25 am
    Hating on Rod Stewart??? Nasty, plain nasty.(on second thought, gazillions and a line of girlfriends/wives that look like Rachel did? sounds like he did well for himself, the prick) Oh and Ryan, you forgot the “chews on his fingernails like a chick” part in your list. you are welcome.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 11:40 am
    Michael: I am actually defensively pathetic, because just like LeBron, I can’t move my feet sideways, either. Otherwise, good work by you!
    Saber: Word. Don’t know how I missed that one.

  • Michael Posted: Dec.10 at 11:54 am
    nice one ryan, i have no idea how to compete with one of the great minds of our time. i bow down

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 12:03 pm
    Really? Cool! Thanks man. That totally made my lunch time.

  • Michael Posted: Dec.10 at 12:12 pm
    its late afternoon here so i think i win

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 12:26 pm
    Not as long as I’m getting paid $1.37 a comment you don’t!

  • Michael Posted: Dec.10 at 12:29 pm
    is that all? you should tell lebron to up your rate

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 12:45 pm
    Jordan still controls the pay rate — I think his contract runs til 2010 — but Bronny tells me I’m up to $3.50 once he takes over. He always looks out for me, which I guess explains why I’m always pathetically defending him.
    Still, I’m up to like $10 today on this post alone. That’s not half bad!

  • Michael Posted: Dec.10 at 12:52 pm
    glad i could help fund you retirement

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 12:53 pm
    You’re awesome!
    P.S. You should use more exclamation points and capital letters in you’re comments, like I do!

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 12:54 pm
    And misuse “you’re” in place of “your,” too!

  • Michael Posted: Dec.10 at 12:54 pm
    and i am glad i could engage the great ryan jones (author, ex slam guy, current college dude and all round lebron worshipper) in a little back and forth. shame it had to be inspired by lebrons imitation of the worst ‘signature’ dunk in history

  • Plasticman Posted: Dec.10 at 1:16 pm
    Bron = Biter of more than fingernails

  • Darksaber Posted: Dec.10 at 1:27 pm
    Farmer Jones, doing it like no one else can on Slamonline.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.10 at 1:41 pm
    I keeps it gangsta!

  • Jukai Posted: Dec.10 at 1:48 pm
    Is there enough room on Ryan’s butt for my mouth too? It’s pretty crowded today!

  • K Holls Posted: Dec.10 at 3:06 pm
    This comments thread is hilarious!!!

  • Darksaber Posted: Dec.10 at 3:20 pm
    Aww, feeling left out, Juksta? Poor baby.

  • futurematic Posted: Dec.10 at 5:15 pm
    Someone needs to turn these comments into an SNL skit.

  • Darksaber Posted: Dec.10 at 9:33 pm
    Yeah, someone call Samberg!

  • Ryan is an idiot Posted: Dec.19 at 2:34 pm
    Ryan Jones is the biggest jackass on this entire website you need to quit watching tv and wake up, notice how you used the names Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett in the same sentence with Lebron. And he can’t play defense laterally? What kind of comment is that haha, you can’t type vertically… stupid, And how do you know Jay-z can’t be trusted? Hang out with him often, i didn’t think so. Overall you should be beaten for even attempting to act like you know what your talking about
