It started out bad, and then it got worse. Worse. Worse. WORSE.

Every Miami Heat miss or turnover was met with a Kawhi Leonard pick-and-roll. Every two-pointer from James or Wade was returned by one of Danny Green’s and Gary Neal’s combined 13 three-pointers. Two steps for the Heat, one step back… and then one giant leap for San Antonio.

LeBron James. Legendary, in an instant.

A triple-double wasn’t enough to give the Heat a Game 1 win, but that was nearly the same in 2012, too. In Game 2, James was James and Miami’s supporting cast – from Mike Miller (aka Brooks from The Bachelorette) to Ray Allen – was wholly more MVP-ish than San Antonio’s Big Three. And, with the game already out of reach and decided for South Beach, LeBron blocked Tiago Splitter with the force of 45 Manu Ginobilis. It was everywhere, that moment.

In a few short months, Jones has made a name for himself. Down there, he’s known as “Popeye’s Son”. Down there, he’s known as Jay-Z’s client. But, down there, he’s still not largely that known.

The CFL has always been the little brother-in-denial to the NFL’s letterman-wearing half of the family. Yes, the CFL is great and the football can be absolutely righteous – I mean, has the NFL ever had a quarterback throw for over 700 yards in a game? Didn’t think so.

And, in another attempt to force people to take itself more seriously, the CFL’s incoming (and new) Ottawa franchise has landed on a name: the Ottawa RedBlacks.
