Remember “Shaq Vs”? Well it’s back again for another season on ABC and this time around Shaq will be taking on Rachael Ray in a cook-off, Joey Chestnut in a hot dog eating contest and trying to out sing pop-star Justin Bieber which will be awesome if you happen to be a 14-year old girl with Bieber Fever.

So to drum up some publicity for this show I probably won’t watch, Shaq surprised Bieber at the soundcheck for his concert in Phoenix and decided to sing a duet with Bieber to every Tweens delight. Don’t worry if you can’t understand why Beiber is so popular, it’s just because you are getting old. Except it Gramps!

Wanna potential get slapped by everybody in a stadium? Well, here’s what you do. Buy a LeBron James Miami Heat jersey or alter a Mario Chalmers one and wear it to a Cleveland Indians game like you have no idea that it’ll upset the locals.

That’s what this dude did and to avoid being slapped by every scorned Cavs fan in the stadium, he had to get escorted out of Progressive Field by the 5th inning because folks started to throw peanuts, beer cups, boos and vicious insults at LeDouchebag looking for a LeBeat down. Even the Yankee fans in attendance were hating on LeIdiot.

But the fun didn’t stop once he left the stadium since this LeNerd stood out like an elephant in Cleveland or better yet — a guy wearing a LeBron James jersey in Cleveland.

More of this LeFool after the jump. BTW, both videos are LeNSFW due to profanity.

LeBron will hear worse, but Chris Bosh earned an earful Wednesday while at the New York Stock Exchange to ring the opening bell. Bosh, 26, who signed a six-year, $110 million deal with the Heat, rang the bell to promote his work with After-School All-Stars, which provides after-school activities to children across the US. …

But as Bosh toured the floor, one trader heckled him, “It would have been a madhouse in here had you signed with the Knicks.” Another said, “Come back in 2016.” Even a security guard got into the act, telling him: “Forget Miami, New York is where it’s at.” Bosh, who’s finishing a week’s visit here that included a trip to the Hamptons, told us, “About 600 people have told me I should have signed with the Knicks.”

Almost a week since he was reported as missing by his mother, former NBA player Lorenzen Wright was found dead according to Eyewitness New sources in Memphis.

The body was found in the wooded area of Hacks Cross and Winchester Road, Wednesday, July 28, 2010. It appears, sources say he had been shot and it may be self inflected.Germantown police say a 911 call has been turned over to Memphis police in connection to this investigation.

On July 22 his mother reported Lorenzen Wright as missing to Collierville police, but that story conflicted with the one his father had that Wright was on vacation in Europe.

In 1996 Wright was drafted 7th overall by the LA Clippers and went on to play for the Atlanta Hawks, Memphis Grizzlies, Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers during the 2008-2009 season.

RIP Lorenzen Wright.

Puerto Rico currently slapping the dust off the competition at the Central American and Caribbean Games, is gearing up for the first ever Nike World Basketball Festival which will also feature Brazil, China, France and the United States before taking off to Turkey to participate in the FIBA World Championships taking place in Turkey from Aug. 28 to Sept. 12.

On their mostly local roster, Team Boricua will include NBA ballers Renaldo Balkman, JJ Barea and hometown hero who knows a thing or two about giant killing Carlos Arroyo.

While they chase down more big international, Nike hooked PR with some fresh n’ fly Nike Zoom Hyperfuses that will be available in limited numbers sometime this summer. Complete with the Puerto Rican flag on the tongue, these shoes will move units like Shania Twain! They are that ill! Nike also created a Team Puerto Rico Hyperdunk, but honestly — they just ain’t as hot son.

Joe Johnson loves playing basketball and really, really, really big pay cheques.

As Teddy KGB famously once said, pay that man his money!

According to ESPN, The Pistons finally paid crowd favorite Will Bynum his money and the price tag was a three-year deal worth $10.5 million — straight up.

Last year off the bench, Will “The Thrill” Bynum posted averages of 10 points and 4.5 assists per contest for the Pistons in his second season with Detroit and set a franchise record with a 26-point 4th quarter offensive explosion in a win over the Bobcats.

Bynum also became the first Piston to have a 20-assist game since Isiah Thomas did it in 1985. In the Motor City, that is a pretty big deal.

I bet you Chris Bosh can clap for over a minute without needing any Gatorade breaks. Wanna see???

Kobe Bryant has achieved rock star status in China and with another ring on his finger that status only grows. Kobe has already visited China on five different occasions to see his expanding fan base across the water and when you factor in China being Nike’s second largest market outside the U.S. Don’t expect much of a gap between his current visit and his next one.

While in Changchun, a northeastern Chinese city for the first time to promote a few things and to run a few camps. The former league MVP discussed his adoration for Bruce Lee and drew parallels between Lee’s famous Jeet Kune Do (Way of the Intercepting Fist) style to his style of play on court. Being the Kung Fu nerd I am, I’d have to agree with that comparison. Jeet Kune Do places an emphasis on practicality, flexibility, speed, and efficiency without being rigid in scenarios of chaotic street fighting.

If you want to compare Miami Thrice to a three-piece band. Dwyane Wade slaps the bass and sings the tracks, LeBron James plays lead guitar and writes the songs and Chris Bosh is the drummer. Yesterday the drummer aka Chris Bosh dropped in on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show to talk about all the old chicks that dig him, his rebounding charity mission, social media and the other band members.

Then CB4 CB1 proceeded to dominate Jimmy Fallon on a 9-foot rim with kiddie basketballs. After the show, sources say a deal to have Jimmy Fallon join George Lopez and Jimmy Kimmel’s basketball team got nixed and he will not be taking his talents to the west coast.
