Man Sues Over the Identity of Cavaliers Mascot MoonDog

Here at That NBA Lottery Pick, we have across some strange stories but this one might hit the top of the charts.

Recently someone decided to sue the Cleveland Cavaliers over the identity of their mascot, MoonDog.

Why you may ask?, we get more from Courthouse News Service:

A man sued the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Quicken Loans Arena to discover the identity of the NBA team's mascot, Moondog, who allegedly struck his arm to make him drop a sign, rupturing a tendon in the process, in Cuyahoga County Court.

Yep, someone is suing Moondog because he accidentally struck someone in the arm causing them to rupture a tendon. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up!

Moondog better get some representation, may I suggest, Pyle Law!

Lebron James Commercial For Dr. Dre's Power Beats

It's been widely known that Lebron James is wearer of Dr. Dre's Power Beats headphones and recently appeared in a commercial for them.

In the commercial, Dr. Dre and Lebron hit the gym where all they want to do is work out but Affion Crockett just wants chat about Lebron and Dr. Dre's recent short-comings:

Honestly, I Think Genghis Kahn Could Beat the 1997 Bulls

Most NBA video game fanatics are still waiting with eagerness for NBA 2K11 to drop on October 5th and the guys over at 2K sports are still churning out solid commercials.

In this one, Josh Smith/Rajon Rondo/Derrick Rose/Russell Westbrook and Andre Igoudala talk about the possible match-ups with the classic teams feature in this year's game:



KAHHHHHHNNNNNNNN!

Gregg Popovich Does Not Appreciate Your Question!

With the start of NBA training camps and NBA media days, it's time for those guys and gals with the tape recorders and microphones to get their practice in as well.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich decided to have a little fun with the media as he decided to go on a mini-tirade about the first question asked to him:

Dwight Howard, The NBA's Version of Raffi?

Normally if an NBA player put out a children's album, there would be much ridicule from his teammates and the rest of the association.

However if that player is Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard, no one is going to be cracking wise around him.

We get more from Pro Basketball Talk:

The album features him singing kid-friendly versions of arena staples. Helping Howard out are kids from the NBA Cares Read to Achieve program. Dwight, the NBA and the Orlando Magic will be helping promote the release all season long, particularly when Dwight is playing at home in Orlando (over 18,000 fans a night) and on the road.

All in all, it's a nice story and will benefit many families through the BETA center which deals with providing knowledge and support for healthy families.

All I have to say is Raffi better watch his back.

The Los Angeles Clippers "White Party" in Malibu

Recently, the Los Angeles Clippers held their annual "White Party" in Malibu, California where all the party goers dressed in all white.

Clippers center DeAndre Jordan decided to take a little video of the festivities and caught Jon Scheyer, Al-Farouq Aminu, and Eric Bledsoe cutting a rug:

Rick Fox's Second DWTS Dance: "The Jive"

For those of you that missed the second dance of former NBA player Rick Fox on Dancing with the Stars, we have that for you in the below video.

Rick and his partner, Cheryl Burke, are dancing a little thing called "The Jive" to the song, "Tush".



To be honest, that wasn't half bad.

Rick Fox Talks About Dancing With The Stars on "The Ellen Show"

As you can tell, I'm a huge follower of Dancing with the Stars and when a former NBA player is on it, it just helps the cause even more.

Former Laker Rick Fox and his dancing partner, Cheryl Burke, appeared on the Ellen show to talk about well....dancing and the obvious height difference.

Yep, that's pretty much it except for Rick Fox and Cheryl cutting a rug.

Lebron James Gets Postered! "The King is Dead"

It hasn't been too surprising that there is still backlash from Lebron James taking his talents to Miami from the Cleveland faithful.

Well, now it has even hit the realm of posters. Below is the latest offering from artist Oliver Barnett titled, "The King is Dead".

Yep, the bitterness runeth over.

Lebron James Chillin with Warren Buffet?!?!?!

Normally, I'm not surprised when NBA players hang out with some random entourage members or fellow players from the same squad.

However, it's a little different when one Lebron James is chilling and playing a round of golf with famed business man and billionaire Warren Buffet.

We get more from Terez Owens:

Today I just got sent this pic of LeBron James riding in a golf cart with Warren Buffet…It looks like Warren is taking LeBron’s side in the whole free agency fiasco..Good to see LeBron rocking the Tiger hat..You know LeBron has to be picking the dude’s brain trying to figure out how to become a billionaire…good luck with that Bron Bron..-TO

To note, Buffet has been meeting with Lebron's BFF, Jay-Z as well, so it's not completely surprising that they would hanging out.

My real question is why is Lebron rocking the Tiger Woods hat? With the Q rating in the tank, I thought he would have started rocking Phil Mickelson apparel.

Deron Williams, Cliff-Diver?

When someone sends me a video of an NBA player cliff-diving, I usually take it with a grain of salt.

The below video appears to show Jazz guard Deron Williams doing a back-flip off of a relatively short cliff at Sand Hollow in Southern Utah:



Although the video is somewhat pixelated, it appears to be Deron and dare I say that it takes some pretty big cajones to do that.

The Chris Bosh/Justin Timberlake Bet To End All Bets

On Monday night's edition of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, one of the guests was Justin Timberlake who was there to promote that Facebook movie-type thing.

Jay decided to talk about Justin's love-affair with the Los Angeles Lakers which I still can't decide if it's passionate or just plain creepy.

Well, Jay brought out Miami Heat star Chris Bosh to rile up Justin a bit and eventually it ended in a rather awesome bet:



I have a sinking suspicion that Timberlake will be sporting a Lebron James jersey to bed sometime soon...

Rick Fox's First Dance on Dancing With The Stars

As you can probably tell by the timing of this video, I'm not a huge fan of ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

However when former NBA player Rick Fox is on the cast, it's at least note-worthy enough to dedicate a post to it.

In the below clip, Fox dances with partner Cheryl Burke to the classic style of the Viennese Waltz:

NBA 2K11 Features Virtual Barack Obama Celebration

One thing that has been a constant in the National Basketball Association is that the NBA champions get to visit the White House to spend some time with the President of the United States.

Well, the developers from NBA 2K11 decided to create a victory cut-scene (seen above) where your Association team gets to meet Virtual Obama.

We get more from Pasta Padre:

Earlier this year it was discovered that Madden 11 added a visit with President Barack Obama as part of its presentation package in Franchise mode after winning the Super Bowl. 2K Sports is also including Obama as part of the NBA championship celebration in Association mode.

Surprisingly EA Sports took some misguided heat for the decision to include him, even though traditionally Super Bowl winning teams teams meet the President at the White House. It seemed that some wanted to turn the inclusion of Obama into a political statement when in reality it is simply about offering a cool moment as a reward for winning it all…just as those teams in real life get to experience

That's pretty awesome to say the least but the Clippers winning an NBA title; that can only happen in a virtual world.

Mark Cuban Thinks Lebron Made A Big Mistake

One person that we hadn't heard from regarding the Lebron James situation was Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban.

Well, last week in a radio interview with Sportsradio 1310, he discussed the matter publicly for the first time. Let's just say, he wasn't too kind on Lebron.

We get more from The Dallas-Morning News:

“LeBron has every right to go wherever and do whatever, whatever team he wants to," Cuban said. "Going to the Heat was his choice, those guys working together. I don’t even have a problem with the three of them working together, as long as they follow all of the NBA rules, which I think they did.

Where I think LeBron made a mistake, was in how he did it. I don’t even have a problem that he had the tv show. But it turned out to be the largest public humiliation in the history of sports. He humiliated the organization, he humiliated the state of Ohio , the city of Cleveland. All of a sudden he became a bad guy, he lost a billion dollars in brand equity, give or take a couple bucks here or there. ...

Oh well, I guess Mark will not be inducting Lebron into the Billionaire Boys Club, anytime soon.
