NBA: Cavs Hold Players Meeting To Call Off Grievances

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been the best mess in the NBA for some time. Despite their gaudy record and nearly assured path to the NBA Finals, the team has expressed concerning body language and worrisome quotes, well before the blowout loss to the Warriors and the firing of David Blatt.

However, after a faceplant loss to the Chicago Bulls in their first game after firing Blatt, the Cavs have rattled off four straight, including their most impressive win over the Spurs Saturday night. Now ESPN reports that in the aftermath of Blatt's firing, the team held a players-only meeting, spearheaded by their three stars LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, and not only cleared the air, but established a measure of accountability ... for everyone. From ESPN:

Micheal Jordan Or LeBron James: Shaquille O'Neal Backs Jordan Has The Greatest Basketball Player

Jordan vs Lebron - Who is the best issue in Basketball has been on for a while with the both players arguing it out. It started with Jordan, he raised an issue by saying if he were to be playing now he would be better than LeBron James and when James was asked he disagreed and picked himself ahead of Jordan. Now people are trying to do the judgement. More people who certainly talk and i suspect they will gun for Jordan........ Its LeBron for me...

The Big Diesel has weighed in on the argument of the summer. Who would win in a one-on-one match in their primes: LeBron James or Michael Jordan? Not surprisingly, Shaquille O'Neal is siding with the Greatest Of All Time.

"Mike," said O'Neal, winner of four NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers (2000-2002) and the Miami Heat (2006). "I think you have to go with a young Jordan every time."

NBA: LeBron Tells Micheal Jordan He Will Beat Him One On One

For Michael Jordan the answer was easy. Who would win in a game of one on one -- an in-his-prime Jordan or LeBron James? Never one to admit defeat, Jordan picked himself. Unsurprisingly, James believes the opposite would happen.

Asked the same question by TODAY's Willie Geist, James confidently stated that he would win.

"Oh, I take myself,'' James said. "For sure. I mean, I'm gonna take myself versus anybody. I'll tell you one thing — they're gonna have to have a few wheelchairs and a couple ambulances there to get us off the floor."

NBA: I Would Beat LeBron James If I Were In My Prime - Micheal Jordan

Michael Jordan started shaking his head after the second  question was asked. "This is the ESPN question," he said to his campers in Santa Barbara. At this Q&A session, the living legend repeated the query he'd heard, oh, two or three times before: "If I was in my prime, could I beat LeBron in a one-on-one game?"

The campers cheered. He paused and smiled and let them wait for five seconds. Then he uttered the answer everybody expected: "No question."

If you have even a vague idea of how Jordan thinks, then you already understand that it doesn't mean he doesn't respect LeBron James, it doesn't mean he thinks today's game is awful, it doesn't mean ... anything, really. Jordan thinks he's the best, and he always thought he was the best, and that was a huge part of why he was indeed the best for so long. Perhaps James has surpassed him now, but Jordan would argue against that by talking about the differences between their eras.

My Legacy Will Speak For Me - LeBron James

There is little doubt that LeBron James is as he put it, "the best player in the world." James did literally everything he physically could to will the Cleveland Cavaliers to victory in the NBA Finals but injuries and the sheer brilliance of the Warriors was too much for one man to overcome. This was James' fourth Finals loss and the question about his legacy was immediately brought up by many afterwards.

James going to six finals (his overall Finals record is 2-4) is an amazing feat and should not be downplayed. This is something that James is well aware of, which is why he isn't worried about his legacy as he told the "Today" show's Matt Lauer.

NBA: LeBron, Cavs Overpower Heat 113-93 For 14th Win In 15 Games

Seconds before the opening tip, LeBron James pulled Chris Bosh close and tightly hugged his former teammate. The pleasantries ended there. From then on, James treated the Miami Heat like any other team. James scored 18 points against his former teammates and Cleveland had six others score in double figures as the Cavaliers beat the Heat 113-93 Wednesday night for their 14th win in 15 games.

Timofey Mozgov scored 20 and Tristan Thomson 17 in Cleveland's final home game before the All-Star break. The Cavs, who have climbed in the standings after a sluggish start, will play at Chicago on Thursday before the season's extended respite.

NBA: LeBron James Widely Expected To Turn Down Player Option

Cavaliers forward LeBron James is "widely expected" to turn down his 2015-16 player option on his current contract and negotiate a new one-year deal with a player option, according to Joe Vardon of the Northeast Ohio Media Group.

James signed a two-year, $42.2 million contract last summer with a trade kicker that would give him an extra sum of money equal to 15 percent of the remaining value of the contract, if the Cavs were to trade him. The trade kicker was established to set James up for an advantage in future contract negotiations.

Fit In Tweet Was Not A Coincidence - LeBron James

When Cavaliers forward LeBron James tweeted Saturday about finding ways to "fit in" instead of fitting out, he admitted the tweet was meant to send a message.

"It's not a coincidence, man," James said.

The tweet came after forward Kevin Love struggled, scoring just five points during Friday's loss to the Pacers. Love has found it difficult to find his role with the Cavaliers this season and said during the preseason that he just wanted to be himself and not worry about fitting in. He admitted his inconsistent season has been hard for him.

NBA: LeBron James And Kyrie Irving In War Of Words

LeBron James has known Kyrie Irving for years. He's been a mentor for the young Cleveland Cavaliers point guard since he was a freshman at Duke. Irving has spoken of seeking out James for advice on his adjustment to the NBA both on and off the court.

So the fact that he and James aren't getting along 100 percent is a little surprising. James has made several comments this week about "bad habits" that have set in on the Cavs over the last couple of years, and as Irving has been the constant since James left in 2011, it's not shocking who James is talking about, along with Dion Waiters and Tristan Thompson.

I Have No Hard Feelings Over LeBron James - Chris Bosh
