Yes, It's Totally Okay to Cry Over This Dwyane Wade Budweiser Commercial


Unless there's some kind of crazy shenanigans on the final day of the NBA's regular season, Dwyane Wade has played his final home game in Miami. The Heat lifer has rocked the NBA since 2003, doing great things off the court on top of the wonders he worked on it. This whole season has been a farewell tour for him, and he's traded jerseys with opposing players after just about every game (Emmanuel Mudiay being the exception). 

Budweiser is no stranger to tearjerker commercials. So perhaps it's only fitting that they brought Dwyane Wade to center court to meet a few folks that had "jerseys" of their own. Try to get through their stories without feeling a bit weepy. Thanks for lots of magical moments, D-Wade.

Kyle Lowry Hits Halfcourt Shot to Force Overtime, Raptors Promptly Lose in Extra Session


Kyle Lowry has been abysmal all playoffs. Chalk it up to nerves, an elbow injury, or perhaps a combination of the two. So it seemed like the Raptors point guard had finally found redemption when he nailed this half courter against the Heat. It was especially impressive because the Raptors had been down by six with less than nine seconds left. Miami basically had to win the game twice...which they then did in overtime. The Heat dropped the first eight points of the extra session, and Toronto never had a chance. Maybe Lowry will finally bounce back in Game 2.

Gregg Popovich Is Distraught Over The Primary Results




Gregg Popovich was interviewed after the first quarter of the Spurs' 119-101 victory over the Miami Heat, and the San Antonio coach was in solid form. After a pair of short answers that boiled down to "we sucked and they played better," sideline reporter David Aldridge informed Popovich of the winners of the New Hampshire primaries. Pop's response? Well...you'll just have to watch the video.

This Man Tried Out For The Miami Heat Dance Squad And Absolutely Wrecked Everyone Else



Keith Wilson is a man with big aspirations. Specifically, he wants to be a dancer for the Miami Heat. Wilson, who tried out in 2012, once again made an appearance at a Heat dancer open tryout earlier this month. Alas, the Heat chose not to bring him on the squad, which might make sense if his performance wasn't the greatest and most memorable thing of the day. Check it out:


It seems like no one else is even listening to the beat. Wilson just crushes it. He believes his gender was a factor in his not making the team. On the Heat's end, it's pretty stupid if that's the case. Not only is Wilson talented enough, it would be an absurd amount of free publicity for a city that's stumping for attention ever since LeBron left town. Oh well. Maybe next year.

LeBron James Headed Back to Cavs, Heat Fans Boarding Flights To Cleveland

Well, that's it. We can finally end the speculation of "The Indecision 2.0." LeBron James is returning to the Cavs to try and lead Cleveland to its first professional title, since...I don't know, James Polk was president?

In a letter posted to Sports Illustrated, LeBron explains his reasons for coming back. I loved the analogy I heard (not sure from where, originally, so I apologize for that) of his four years in Miami being like college. He wanted to sow his oats, explore somewhere new. And now that he's done that, he's ready to come back home. I get it; I went to college in Miami myself. Granted, I've lived in two other cities besides where I grew up since then, but hey, the first part is the same. And if LBJ does bring a championship to Cleveland, he'll probably be as beloved as he was hated in 2011. Redemption certainly does taste sweet.

As for Heat fans, they probably feel like this right about now:

Chinese NBA Finals Recap Is Ridiculous, Hilarious

- Watch More Funny VideosThe Japanese Recap Of The Spurs Championship Win Is As Accurate As It Is Insane

A week after the Spurs won their fifth NBA Championship in 15 years, there is still hilarity to be found in this NBA season. I don't really know what news station this is, but the depiction of how the series went is spot on. Chris Bosh is a dinosaur. Chris "Birdman" Andersen is an actual bird. Tim Duncan has a motorized scooter. It's all incredible.

NBA Finals Game 1 Press Conference: Funny Or Die Edition




Funny Or Die has made a fun little press conference spoof about Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Of course, the big story is how the air conditioning went out, and that was the Heat's undoing. I forgot the Spurs were able to continue playing in a cool building, while the Heat had to withstand 90 degree temps. Game 2 needs to be tonight so we can stop talking about this. But Tony Parker and Dwyane Wade's part are both very funny, so hopefully you chuckle at this, as well.
