Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade can kiss each other now. And they can kiss that lawsuit from Siohvaughn Wade goodbye. An update on their kissy kissy lawsut when you read on… Read the full story

Dwyane Wade‘s actress Girl Friend Gabrielle Union just won big in her legal battle against Dwyane’s ex-wife — as of last week, she’s officially in the clear over charges that she got too sexy in front of Dwyane’s kids.

It’s all over a lawsuit the basketball star’s ex-wife Siohvaughn Wade (right) filed a few months ago — claiming her and Dwyane’s kids were left scarred when Gabrielle and the Miami Heat guard engaged in “sexual foreplay” in front of them.

Both Dwyane and Gabrielle denied the allegations — calling them “erroneous claims” — and last week, a judge in Illinois officially dismissed Siohvaughn’s lawsuit, citing improper jurisdiction.

Gabrielle’s lawyer — who called the lawsuit a “shame” and a “waste of time” — tells TMZ, “The allegations against Ms. Union are completely false and do not belong in the Illinois Court System.”

( source )MIAMI — Dwyane Wade issued an apology Monday to those who may have been offended by his use of the phrase “World Trade” while answering a question about the upcoming Miami Heat season.

The All-Star guard made the remark Sunday before the annual charity basketball game he co-hosts with Alonzo Mourning.

Standing at his locker before a group of reporters, Wade said:

“There’s going to be times when we might lose one, two games in a row, maybe two games, three games in a row, you never know. It’s going to seem like the world is crashed down. You all are going to make it Read the full story

So what does Jordan, one of the best-ever in the NBA, think of LeBron James joining with All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form a super team in Miami?

“There’s no way, with hindsight, I would’ve ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, ‘Hey, look, let’s get together and play on one team,’” Jordan said after playing in a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. “But that’s … things are different.

I can’t say that’s a bad thing. It’s an opportunity these kids have today. In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys.”

James, who played his first seven seasons with his home state Cleveland Cavaliers, was part of one of the most celebrated free agent classes in history this summer. He met Read the full story

MIAMI (AP)—They’ve been teammates for only a week, and Dwyane Wade(notes) is already standing up for LeBron James(notes).

Wade defended the NBA’s two-time reigning MVP on Thursday, telling The Associated Press that James “didn’t quit” on Cleveland during the playoffs. That was the accusation made by Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert last week, not long after James went on television to reveal he was leaving Cleveland for Miami.

“He’s not a quitter,” Wade said. “He didn’t quit.”

In an interview with The AP on July 8, Gilbert not only levied the quitting charge, but said James got “a free pass” for too long. The NBA fined Gilbert $100,000 earlier this week for some of his comments, with commissioner David Stern saying they were too extreme for the league’s liking.

Wade said he watched every game in Cleveland’s second-round series against Boston, the team that eliminated the Heat in the opening round of the postseason. The Celtics used a similar defensive scheme against James as they did against Wade to open the playoffs, throwing a slew of challenges in the way of both.

“LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant(notes), guys like that understand what Boston’s defense was about,” Wade said. “Their defense was built on not letting one player beat them. You either settle for the outside shot or you pass to your teammates. LeBron had one bad game in the playoffs. Other than that, he did what he could do with the defense all watching him.”

The Cavs lost to the Celtics in six games, but Wade pointed out that in the series finale, James finished with 27 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists.

Nonetheless, Gilbert told The AP, “watch the tape. The Boston series was unlike anything in the history of sports for a superstar.”

The Cavaliers were beaten by 32 points in Game 5, a stunning loss at home. During the game, James appeared distracted and disinterested, often glaring at Cleveland’s coaches as the Cavs tried to foul to get back into the game in the second half. James also made some puzzling postgame comments, saying he had “spoiled” people with his play over seven seasons.

In that Game 5 loss to Boston, James scored 15 points on 3 of 14 shooting.

In Game 6 against Boston, even as now-former Cavs coach Mike Brown tried to get his players to foul as time was winding down, James appeared to wave him off, almost resigned that the season was ending and there was nothing Cleveland could do at that point. Gilbert also said he believes James quit on the Cavs in Game 6 of their series in 2009 against Orlando.

“I don’t see where you can get where he quit,” Wade said. “He just had one bad game. It happens. Kobe had a bad game in the finals. They won. It didn’t matter. LeBron’s teammates didn’t help him out that game and it made the way he played even worse. But he’s not a quitter. He didn’t quit.”

As James pointed out in his welcome-to-Miami event on July 9, Bryant made only 6 of his 24 shots in Game 7 of the finals against Boston, which his Los Angeles Lakers won anyway for their second straight NBA title.

“He knew he had help and guys came through for him,” James said last week of Bryant’s Game 7 showing in the finals.

James was the subject of countless jokes during Wednesday’s ESPY awards, and Wade saw the humor in some of them. Others, however, had him bristling.

“You get defensive with things like that,” Wade said. “He’s a good friend. You understand people say it because it’s a hot topic. They wanted people to react in a positive way or a negative way, just because it’s a hot topic to talk about. It’s a punch line. They just wanted to have something to do with it. They wanted to feel involved in some way.”

What do you think will be the outcome?

All the sports writers, critics, fans and arm chair coaches have reacted to the Miami Heat getting Chris Bosh and Lebron James to join Dwayne Wade in Miami.

Deep down inside though, the Heat realize the NBA Championship still goes through Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant, the MVP of the reigning two consecutive title winning Lakers, spoke on the situation.

“I’m friends with all three of them and I’m happy for Wade and Bosh. They seem really happy with the decision. It’s always been about them as people. I don’t really care about the basketball side, that stuff will work itself out. As long as they’re happy with their decisions that’s what matters most.”

A reporter then asked, “what about Lebron?”

“Same with him, people tried to take the decision out of his hands with all the hype and houpla. Hopefully he’ll just make the right decisions for him and his family”

We all know Kobe was just playing nice for the cameras. This is what he was really thinking

“How dare these dudes try to manufacture a dynasty! Me, Gasol and Odom still coming for that ass next season.”

CLEVELAND (AP)—LeBron James(notes) is being dropped off a building.

Workers began dismantling the 10-story-tall iconic image of James on a mural in downtown Saturday, a billboard that has dominated the city’s skyline for years but is being taken down now that the superstar has left the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat.

As strips of the image of James, his arms outstretched and head thrown back after doing his pregame powder toss, began coming off, pedestrians stopped on Ontario Street to take photos and cars pulled to the side for one last look at No. 23, who has gone from being a hometown hero to villain. It is expected to take hours for the billboard on the side of the Landmark Office Tower to be taken down.
