When you get that phone call during the NBA draft and realize you’re a number one pick, you might also get used to the fact that there isn’t much of a chance you’ll be winning the NBA title anytime soon, as only 8 of the last 35 number one draft picks went on to win a championship in their career, with LeBron James & the Miami Heat being the latest team to accomplish that feat.

We’ve seen harder fouls in the past, but in the midst of a winning streak that has been a lot about keeping their composure, LeBron James slightly lost it as the Chicago Bulls ended the Miami Heat fantasy ride, picking up a flagrant foul by ramming Carlos Boozer with his shoulder as the game was slipping away in the final minutes.

It seems everything at the moment is about Game of Thrones returning to HBO for its third season, which a lot more fantasy violence and intrigue as an excuse for sexy scenes on TV.

After surviving a couple of close calls in their attempt to tie and break a 40 year old NBA record, the Miami Heat are finding that later wins are coming a little bit easier, with LeBron James pulling more and more “almost” triple doubles, his personal expertise, as the group around him, even without Dwyane Wade, continues to more than make up for the superstar taking another rest to heal his hurting body.
