LeBron James cordially invites you to a huge helping of his clutch gene, located on his gigantic clutch manliness. Staring down the barrel of a heartbreaking game one overtime loss, LeBron James drove to the hole with 2.2 seconds left and hit the game-winning layup to propel your Miami Heat to a 103-102 victory. All of the crazy.

LeBron messed around and had a triple double, going for 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists -- sexy. Even while battling foul trouble all game long (he finished with five fouls), LeBron was able to will the Heat to an emotional win. Speaking of emotion, Chris "Birdman" Andersen was a human Four-Loko Wednesday night, except someone poured out half of the Four-Loko and refilled it with freaking fuck yeahs. Birdman (Birdman!) cawww-cawwww'd his way to a perfect 7-7 from the field for 16 points and 5 rebounds in just 18 minutes of crucial play.

Categories: Politicks, Sports

When the House spiked a bill two weeks ago to let the Miami Dolphins raise bed taxes to fund a stadium renovation, team owner Stephen Ross went ballastic, lashing out at Speaker Will Weatherford for taking away Miami voters' chance to have a say on the project.
