Watch LeBron James workout before last Sunday’s Cavs-Celtics game. LeBron’s pregame workout consists of “shoulder presses with mini squats, cable cross combos, hanging leg raises, counter balance dumbell reverse lunges, single led dumbell RDL’s, x-band walks, single led medium ball ankle stars, and bridge/quadraped core circuits.” (Via John Schuhmann)

G.O. has outgrown his suits: “As Oden is talking, he is fiddling with a plastic clasp to attach the French cuffs on his orange dress shirt, which features his initials stenciled on the cuffs. I remark to him that I’m amazed at how many French cuff shirts he has when he refuses to wear cuff links, which he says are too tedious for him to fasten. ‘It’s not like I’ve picked out every shirt I’ve bought,” he says. That task belongs to David Schottenstein of Columbus, Ohio. Schottenstein – whose family name is on the basketball arena at Ohio State – purchases the wardrobe for Oden. ‘Most of my suits, if you look inside them, there’s a color, so I know what color of shirt to match with the suit,’ Oden said. ‘It makes it easy on me.’ However, Oden can no longer wear most of his suits. His shoulders and biceps have become so large that he is liable to split the seams.”

Cavs.com: “The Cavaliers unique home atmosphere isn’t all about what goes on between the lines. From the high-rent courtside seats to Loudville, there’s as much camaraderie among Cavalier fans as the players they support. This year, the Wine and Gold set a franchise record for the third straight season with 37 sellouts in 40 contests. The Easter Sunday battle with Boston was the 28th straight and Fan Appreciation night on Wednesday will mark No. 29. The Q has averaged 20,511 strong per home contest – the fourth-best mark in the league. And fans come from everywhere to see the league’s top team. Around 27 percent of the team’s ticket sales come from out of state.”

Jerry Sloan’s conflict resolution policy: “I’ve said this for years, when guys have a little problem with each other then solve your problems in the parking lot with an ice pick … so you can come into the locker room and be ready to play basketball.”
