LeBron James has reassured Miami fans he is committed to winning an NBA title with the Heat. One day after saying he would not rule out a return to play for the Cavaliers in the future, James did not back away from those comments. He said he answered questions about his future "truthfully."

LeBron James shook off flu-like symptoms to score 31 points, Chris Bosh scored 15 and the Miami Heat won their second straight, topping the Los Angeles Lakers 98-87 on Thursday night.

LeBron James scored 33 points, Chris Bosh added 30 and the Miami Heat used a historic third-quarter turnaround to erase a big deficit and beat the San Antonio Spurs 120-98 on Tuesday night, snapping a three-game slide....

Dorell Wright scored 20 points and made a season-high six 3-pointers, including a tying shot late in regulation, and the short-handed Golden State Warriors spoiled Dwyane Wade's return with a 111-106 overtime victory over the Miami Heat on Tuesday night....

Shane Battier said at this point in his career, he only wants "a winning role."

Did Miami Heat star Glen Rice and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have a fling back in the 1980s, when she was a budding sports reporter and he was a star at the University of Michigan?

There is one NBA star apparently not considering going overseas due to the lockout. ESPN's Chris Broussard reported on Thursday that, according to sources, Miami Heat star LeBron James is not looking to play overseas if the upcoming NBA season is canceled as a result of the lockout.

The NBA's championship-winning game for the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday was seen by nearly 24 million people, leading ABC to its most-watched week during the slow summer season in nearly 10 years. The Nielsen Co. said the Mavericks' series victory over the Miami Heat was seen by an average of 17.3 million people over the six games. That's a little less than the viewership for last year's Lakers-Celtics series, which had the advantage of going to a climactic seventh game.

“All the people that were rooting for me to fail… at the end of the day, tomorrow they have to wake up and have the same life that (they had) before they woke up today,” James said. “They got the same personal problems they had today. And I’m going to continue to live the way I want to live and continue to do the things I want to do.”

The 105-95 victory was sweet for many of the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night, but especially for Jason Terry, who had the championship trophy tattooed on his bicep before the season.
