47 Rare Photos Of Lebron James In High School
That white boy looks terrified. If you don't think that he has this once in a lifetime photograph of being blown by on the basketball by the King himself, you might want to consider therapy. If I was the bro looking like I just pooped my pants as Lebron dribbled passed me, I'd have this on a mantle over the fireplace.
Anyways, here are 46 other great photos of Lebron James.

2013 Playoff Preview: Miami Heat (1) vs Indiana Pacers (3) - Eastern Conference Finals
And then there were two. With the Indiana Pacers 4-2 smashing of the hapless New York Knicks, Indy's assured themselves of a rematch against the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals. The refocused Pacers look to avenge last year's 4-2 Eastern Conference semifinals loss to the eventual champs. Paul George, Roy Hibbert & Co. are a year older and chomping at the bit to erase the sting of Dwyane Wade going bonkers at Indy's Bankers Life Fieldhouse to the tune of 41 points and 10 boards in last year's closeout game 6. The Pacers' defense is championship ready, but can their "22 Seconds And a Cloud of Dust" offense put enough points on the board to outclass the Heat?
Miami comes into this series rested and barely tested, but with some questions of it's own. The Milwaukee Bucks talked a good game, and the Chicago Bulls fought gamely, but we haven't seen that "playoff gear" from the Heat yet. And (surprise!) Dwyane Wade is again hobbled in the playoffs; he's laid a 1-12, 4 point stinker against the Bucks and a 3-10, 6 point clunker against the Bulls. Can Wade and Lebron produce consistently against Indiana's rugged perimeter defense?

TPBT Conference Finals Predictions
It has come that time once again to make our predictions. Some of us are serious and some of... well, one of us isn't serious. Below are our bold predictions on the outcomes of the Conference Finals match ups of the Miami Heat verses the Indiana Pacers as well as the San Antonio Spurs verses the Memphis Grizzlies. We are in for some epic games with the top 3 defensive teams and one team whose foundation was build on defense, the Spurs.
Miami Heat (1) vs Indiana Pacers (3)
Heat in 6
At the end of the day, the Miami Heat have more talent, better athletes and championship experience. Their roster has only improved since the last title and without Danny Granger, the Pacers can only fight in this series. If Indiana can use their interior play to their advantage they might be able to prove me wrong. Until then, Miami is looking for their 3rd straight Finals appearance. – Jacob
Heat in 7
I worry about Dwyane Wade's knee, and I really worry about how Bosh and LeBron are going to keep an improved Hibbert/West/Mahimni trio off the glass. When I say worry, I do not think the series is in doubt. Rather, I worry that the physical toll is going to be so cumbersome that it will keep them from repeating.
Spo is a vastly improved coach in the past two seasons, and I felt he should have been Coach of the Year, with Frank Vogel as runner up. Keep an eye out on adjustments throughout this series. They're going to be sharp, well-designed, perfectly timed and the kind of stuff we will be getting used to from these emerging/elite head coaches.
I love you Paul George, and you've had a great year. RIP. Bron 'gon Bron

Pacers in 4
Here's the thing: I'm not watching this series. But I hate the Heat, and their pathetic, frontrunning, over-tanned, late-arriving fans. Paul George for president. - Ben
Heat in 5
Sure, the Pacers could possibly take this to six or seven games. But that won't happen unless Roy Hibbert plays the best basketball of his career. You can say Indiana matches up well against the Miami since their best players are at the small forward and power forward positions and LeBron James will have to guard them. But that also means that George and West will have to defend LeBron, and they'll be responsible for a lot of the Pacers scoring punch. The Heat just have too many advantages, and being better is one of them. - James
2013 Playoff Preview: San Antonio Spurs (2) vs Memphis Grizzlies (5) - Western Conference Finals
Rematch of the 2011 playoffs! Well, not really.
The San Antonio Spurs and Memphis Grizzlies met in the first
round of the 2011 NBA playoffs.
The Grizzlies being the 8th seed ended up beating the number
one seed Spurs in six games.
These teams are nothing like their 2011 rosters. Memphis leaned more offense with Rudy
Gay and OJ Mayo. The 2013 team has
Tony Allen playing starter every game where as his role was split between OJ
Mayo, Sam Young, or Xavier Henry.
The big change between the 2011 Grizzlies and the 2013 Grizzlies is the
Rudy Gay trade.
Since the Grizzlies have moved Rudy Gay for Tayshaun Prince
and Ed Davis they have been a phenomenal defensive team. This appears to be working. The Grizzlies other stars have improved
like Marc Gasol (Defensive Player of the Year) and Mike Conley. This 2013 is
much improved having taking out both the Clippers and Thunder on their way to
the Western Conference Finals.
It will be interesting to watch how this roster matches up to the new
and improved Spurs team.
Lebron James and CP3 mentor Stephen Curry and James Harden
Some raw footage released by Lebron James showing him mentor some young players including Stephen Curry and James Harden. This was when Lebron was a "hero" in Cleveland before he turned to the dark side. Anyways, always fun seeing these types of videos surface.
