Thirty-five year old free agent Zydrunas Ilgauskas may be the next NBA star to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers and join the Miami Heat. A 2-time NBA All-Star, Ilgauskas will be signing a two-year deal with the Heat later this week, according to his agent Herb Rudoy. “Once LeBron signed there [i.e., Miami], LeBron [James] started recruiting him,” said Rudoy. Ilgauskas said, “LeBron was very encouraging and explained the whole situation. And, obviously, he’s my friend, and him being there made it a lot easier to choose.” King James tweeted, “Glad u are joining me in South Beach my friend.” About the decision, Rudoy commented, “It’s been 14 years. It was very hard for him… But he wants to win a championship. That’s how he made this decision.” Will Ilgauska’s decision to leave Cleveland for Miami be the cause of another angry open letter from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert? I guess we will have to wait and see.

Denver Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony got married this weekend to former MTV VJ LaLa Vasquez. The couple, who has a 3-year old son called Kiyan, got engaged back in 2004. And, after six years of waiting, the celebrity couple finally tied the knot on Saturday night at the Cipriani restaurant in Manhattan, NY. According to People.com, the wedding ceremony was filmed and will be aired on a VH1 reality show that follows the couple. Among the many famous guests who attended the ceremony were such famous sports figures as LeBron James, Chris Paul, Serena Williams, A’mare Stoudemire, and Lamar Odom; and such Hollywood celebs as Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Justin Timberlake, Spike Lee, and Ludacris. An apparently exuberant Vasquez wrote on her Twitter page after the wedding, “Best night of my entire life. Thank u to all my family and friends who shared tonight with me. I love u. I’m on cloud 9 right now.”

On Thursday night, 2-time NBA MVP LeBron James announced that he will be joining the Miami Heat. During a one-hour televised ESPN special called “The Decision,” James explained that the decision to leave Cleveland was very hard, “But the things that the Miami Heat franchise have done, to free up cap space and be able to put themselves in a position this summer to have all three of us [i.e., James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh], it was hard to turn down. Those are two great players, two of the greatest players that we have in this game today.” The reaction to this long-awaited announcement? Wade, who will soon be teaming up with James on the court, said, “”It’s going to be crazy… There’s magic in the number 3.” Chris Bosh tweeted, “I’m on cloud 9 right now! This is like a dream come true to play with” Wade and James. But not everyone is so excited about King James’ decision. In an open letter posted on the official Cleveland Cavaliers website, Cavs owner Dan Gilbert wrote, “Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us… You simply don’t deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal… I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE.” Talk about bitter. Despite the criticism that James is already receiving and will continue to receive for his decision to leave Cleveland, one thing seems certain: the Miami Heat will be an exciting team to watch next season.
To celebrate the decisions of Wade and Bosh (and now James) to play for the Miami Heat next season, Hollywood Collectibles is having a 33% off sale on all Dwyane Wade memorabilia and Miami Heat memorabilia. Don’t miss out on this great chance to buy some great basketball memorabilia at a great price!

LeBron James is highly expected to return to action for Friday’s game against the 76ers. After Cleveland’s excellent victory over San Antonio with LeBron in street clothes on Monday, the Cavaliers had three days to rest before playing again. It would seem that this has given James enough time to recover from his ankle injury, as a Cavaliers team suffering from multiple injuries will welcome LeBron back into the lineup with open arms tomorrow.
Hollywood Collectibles offers a wide variety of authentic LeBron James memorabilia. Cavs fans can welcome their superstar back by purchasing a piece of memorabilia such as an autographed photo or a rookie card. As LeBron’s career accomplishments continue to increase in number and magnitude, our authentic memorabilia make an excellent purchase for any collector.

On Monday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the San Antonio Spurs on the road despite being injury-laden. The Cavs were missing LeBron and Shaq completely, while Antawn Jamison only played during the first half. In a monumental game, Mo Williams and Delonte West led them to their first victory without LeBron in three seasons as Cleveland won 97-95.
By winning this extremely difficult game at San Antonio, the Cavaliers are now the first team this season to attain 50 wins. Hollywood Collectibles invites you to commemorate this accomplishment by purchasing an authentic piece of Cleveland Cavaliers memorabilia. Our inventory of Cavs memorabilia includes autographed photos with authentic signatures by players such as LeBron James, Anderson Varejao, Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and Nate Thurmond. As usual, all items come with a certificate of authenticity backed by www.hollywoodcollectibles.com.

I can’t imagine that the Cleveland Cavaliers are too happy about the injuries that have plagued their team recently. In February, Shaquille O’Neal suffered a serious thumb injury during a game against the Boston Celtics. He underwent surgery, and is expected to be out for several weeks. More recently, on Friday, LeBron James rolled his ankle during a game against the Detroit Pistons, and a tender right ankle that might keep him out of Monday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs. James said “I’m good” when asked about how he was feeling, but the decision will be left for game time.
LeBron James is easily one of the greatest players in the NBA. He is an NBA Rookie of the Year, and NBA MVP, and a 6-time NBA All-Star, among other things. Luckily for his fans, Hollywood Collectibles offers a great selection of authentic LeBron James autographed memorabilia and plenty of other great basketball memorabilia. With over 24 years in the sports memorabilia industry, Hollywood Collectibles is one of the most trusted and respected providers of authentic sports memorabilia, and all of our autographed memorabilia come with a certificate of authenticity.

Shaquille O’Neal will miss the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ Friday game because of a serious thumb injury. On Thursday night, O’Neal suffered what was later described as a “significant right thumb sprain” when one of his shots was blocked. A timeout was called to take O’Neal out of the game, and shortly thereafter, an injury report described the injury as serious and said that that he would not return to the game. Teammate LeBron James said “We need him out there… You need to establish the half-court offense. That’s what he does for us.” O’Neal’s condition will be re-evaluated on Friday.

Dwyane Wade and the rest of the Eastern Conference All-Stars did not fail to impress during Sunday’s 2010 NBA All-Star Game in Dallas. In fact, both the Western and Eastern Conference teams played very well in front of what was the largest crowd for a game ever in the history of the NBA. With 108,000 fans watching, Wade scored 28 points to help the East defeat the West 141 to 139. But Wade was certainly not alone; his team included LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, and Dwight Howard. Facing them were such greats as Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, and Tim Duncan. The game easily exceeded the previous record for the largest crowd to watch a basketball game (roughly 78,000) and exceeded all expectations, especially in consideration of the announcements that several players were not going to be able to play, including Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul.
With over 24 years in the sports memorabilia industry, Hollywood Collectibles carries a great variety of authentic Dwyane Wade memorabilia, LeBron James memorabilia, and sports memorabilia of countless other great basketball players.

As many of you know H1N1, also known as swine flu, is a strain of Influenza A. The test results have not come in but the Cleveland cavaliers are taking all necessary precautions to protect the entire team.
Be sure to tune in for their upcoming game against San Antonio.
