CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James' annual trip to China is over, with the apparent highlight a parade in his honor in the city of Guangzhou attended by thousands.
James, who made his 12th consecutive Asian trip for Nike, posted to Instagram Wednesday a picture of him standing in the back of a truck with thousands of Chinese fans standing behind barricades and a sports stadium behind him.
For reference, there were no barricades or barrier of any kind keeping an estimated crowd of more than 1 million people from James and his Cavs teammates during a parade in downtown Cleveland after they won the 2016 NBA championship in June. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
#CavsRank: Chris Andersen lands at No. 11

Our #Cavsrank series rolls on, this time with Chris “Birdman” Andersen.
Andersen split his season last year between the Heat, where he’d been since the LeBron James era, and the Grizzlies, who he was traded to for salary cap purposes midseason. This summer, the Cavaliers signed Birdman for the veteran’s minimum to fill out their big rotation.
Chris Andersen is old. I mean, like, he’s really old. The former dunk contest participant turned 38 years old in July. He’s three years older than Mike Dunleavy, and two years older than Richard Jefferson. It’s a testament to Andersen that he’s been able to stick around this long, though a two-year drug-related suspension probably ended up taking some wear and tear off his body. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
