NBA Finals: Let's Get Ready To Rumble!!

Everything happens for a reason.  Check out Kevin Durant and Lebron James working out together during the NBA Lock Out.

This year's NBA Finals pits the 2012 NBA Scoring Champ, Kevin Durant against the 2012 NBA's Most Valuable Player, Lebron James.  This historic matchup it the first time the scoring champ has faced the MVP in the Finals since Michael Jordan played Karl Malone in 1997.

I think we all know how that went down.

The question is, who will be crowned the NEW King of NBA?

OKC Thunder Vs. Miami Heat.

What are your Predictions???

Just Be You...

Lebron James has made history...yet again by silencing the same critics that pointed fingers and judged him for living his life earlier this past summer.

At one point in time we have been guilty of judging friends and foes for living their life. On the other hand, we have been judged for living our lives as well. The truth is we all make mistakes, decisions and choices that others may deem to be not suitable for our lives. In reality, each person has to walk their own path and in the end only you can decide what is best for you.

In King James's latest Nike commercial, he pokes fun at the public opinion of what others think he should do now that he has made his decision to be traded to the Miami Heat. Some suggestions LBJ discussed included acting, and playing the bad guy.

This commercial stands out to me personally, because I have been dealing with some issues myself. As an artist building a network/business and being an all around sociable person, I constantly wonder what people really think about me.

As I watch this commercial, I realize two things: One, I can't help but realize other people's perception of me will always vary regardless of what I do or don't do. I really have no control of what others think of me, so I might as well be happy being me.

Two, wondering what others think of you is really a rhetorical question because its rare that someone will actually tell you their true thoughts. You will usually be left wondering what's up.

Either way its a losing battle, and useless to care because you'll never know the real answer. I can only imagine being in Lebron's shoes, but it seems he has come to the same realization hence making this commercial.

To be honest, there is always going to be someone saying something so like Rihanna says "just live ya life!"

Anyway, check out the latest King LBJ video and as always, leave your thoughts.

Lebron James - Nike Rise Commercial

King Infamous

Stopsellingdreams.com is a site dedicated to erasing the "hype" surrounded by a situation and uncovering the truth about popular culture and entertainment. Alright now that I have gotten that out of the way, Lebron "King" James has been in the media lately for being dunked on at his own Basketball camp by an "unknown" college student. No matter how you view it, it's pretty much ALWAYS a bad thing to be dunked on anywhere, whether its at a playground, in Madison Square Garden, or even at your favorite gym but it's especially a terrible thing to get dunked on at YOUR own basketball camp.

Okay lets SSD and erase the hype, anyone can be dunked on at any given time, that's the nature of the game, but to try to hide the evidence like it never happened is another type of all time low. After viewing the tape, I have come to the conclusion that it was worse for Lebron to even try to hide it in the first place. The dunk is not THAT bad, but now its a scandal and has exploded into a situation that its worse because he tried to hide the evidence. I know its easier said than done, but King James should have just taken that dunk like a man and laughed later.

Basketball is a competitive sport and anyone can have a good day or a bad day. That's why the NBA playoffs are a best of 7 series. But for Lebron and Nike to try to confiscate all the proof is wrong and makes matters worse because the tape will and did eventually come out for everyone to see. The worst thing that would have happened is there would have been a few jokes and then it would have passed over, but now this tape is out and the controversy surrounding the Dunketapegate makes the situation BIGGER than it even is. See the tape for yourself. SSD!
