During a pre-game celebration, in honor of Cleveland Cavalier Superstar LeBron James 25th birthday, his teammates wore party hats, took a group photo, and presented him with a mock birthday cake, in which he pretended to blow out the candles.
Jovial Cleveland fans and celebrities who were in attendance–Cleveland Browns Running Back Jerome Harrison, Buffalo Bills Wide Receiver Terrell Owens, Rappers Akon, and Fabalous — looked on, laughed, and shouted happy birthday to Cleveland’s beloved “King.”
After the brief festivities ended, the Cavs– looking for their sixth straight win– took the court in the final game of a two day back-to-back match up with the Atlanta Hawks.

Update: In an up and down season for the New York Jets, it all comes down to their Week 17 contest vs. the Cincinnati Bengals. If Rookie QB Mark Sanchez and one of the league’s best defense’s led by shut down corner back Darrelle Revis can take down the Bengals at home Sunday, they will capture the AFC Wild Card and be headed to the playoffs.
Fantasy Impact: In Week 16 the Jets heavily relied on Thomas Jones and the running game as they rushed past the undefeated Colts to keep their playoff hopes alive. Jones has rushed for over 1300 yards and has 12 TD's this season. The Jets will look for their ground attack to lead them to victory at the Meadowlands Sunday and leave Rookie QB Mark Sanchez to simply manage the offense. Rex Ryan and the Jets defense that has been the staple of their team all season will turn to Revis once again to shut down Bengals stud WR Chad Ochocinco. In a big-time game for New York at home, we will see what the Jets are made of.
