The talk before Wednesday night’s Game 5 between the Nets and Heat was about a potential boycott by the NBA players next season.

Roger Mason Jr., vice president of the NBA players association, said in an interview Tuesday that LeBron James would not play if Donald Sterling, the owner of the Clippers, still owned the team at the start of next season. Mason later backtracked on Twitter, but James was forced to respond before the game.

"At the end of the day as players, we see what [commissioner] Adam Silver is doing and he’s moving forward," the Miami superstar said. "If he continues … to move aggressively on the situation, then as players we have nothing to worry about."

I watched five minutes of a game, the other night. All I saw three or four guys trying to score all by themselves. I didn’t see a single play run or anything like team play. Bored, I changed the channel.

First five minutes of major league streetball, I have watched in years.

Why anybody watches this sport in the first place I have no idea

Not everybody's team sucks; and waiting for Beiber updates on the E channel is not for the rest of us.

Just another athlete , UNLIKE MICHAEL JORDAN, who has become DRUNK on his own power.

NO ONE is BIGGER than the GAME.
