The two photos above need no description. They simply need to be admired. We here at the Creatures hate LeBron and everything he stands for. We couldn’t have been more upset when he decided to “take his talents to South Beach” in his hour-long, ego-feeding show “The Decision,” which aired a year ago today. And we couldn’t have been happier when he walked off the court a LOSER in this year’s NBA Finals. Sure, LeBron and the Heat may get their rings some day. But for now, LeBron is still a “king” with no crown.

Pictured here is Roger Clemens. Not the flame (and bat) throwing Clemens who was one of the best pitchers ever to step on a mound, but rather the “criminal” Roger Clemens, who’s perjury trial begins today in US District Court in Washington DC. In 2008, Clemens confidently denied taking steroids and human-growth hormones in front of a congressional committee investigating steroids in baseball. But his former trainer, Brain McNamme, later testified that Clemens had indeed taken PEDs. So Clemens is back in the courtroom where he faces charges of perjury and obstruction of Congress. Ohh, Congress. Sounds scary. Although the question that still remains is: does anyone really care? (Photo: Scott J. Ferrell/Getty Images)

America’s favorite competitive eater and July 4th staple Joey Chestnut wolfs one of the 62 hot dogs he managed to shove down his gullet during the 2011 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest. Chestnut, or “Jaws” as he is known in the realm of competitive eating, won his fifth consecutive title at the annual event held on New York’s Coney Island. While the 62 dogs eaten didn’t set any records, Chestnut was able to best second place finisher Patrick Bertoletti by nine wieners. The prize for winning: $10,000 and the coveted mustard yellow belt. And lest we forgot the intense vomiting and stomach pain that follows for the next week.

Novak Djokovic returns a shot in his Wimbledon semifinal match against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. Djokovic won the match 7-6 (7-4), 6-2, 6-7 (9-11), 6-3  and advanced to his first ever Wimbledon final. Regardless of the outcome of Sunday’s championship match, the 24 year-old Serb will become the #1 ranked tennis player in the world on Monday, overtaking Rafa Nadal, who is also in contention for the final. Djokovic improved to a ridiculous 47-1 on the year, his only loss coming in the French Open semifinal against Roger Federer. Djokovic will either face the aforementioned Nadal, or Britain’s title hope Andy Murray, in the final on Sunday. (Photo: Glyn Clark/Getty Images)

Nyjer Morgan just hasn’t figured out to play center field at Yankee Stadium. After badly misplaying a ball two nights ago that led to a first inning outburst by the Yankees, he was at it again last night, botching this Robinson Cano fly ball. Cano recorded a triple on the play, and later went on to score the Yankees first run of the game courtesy of a Nick Swisher single. The Yankees went on to win the ballgame 5-2, and have now won 4 in a row, and 14 of their past 18 games. In related news, the Bronx Bombers reacquired RHP Sergio Mitre from the Brewers for the ubiquitous “cash considerations.” Oh happy day! (Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)

South Carolina second baseman Scott Wingo, right, poses with the National Championship trophy after his Gamecocks defeated the Florida Gators 5-2 to win the College World Series. Wingo, who was named the CWS Most Outstanding Player, drove in two runs in the game and got the ball rolling for South Carolina in a three-run third by hitting a sacrifice fly to give them an early lead. It was the second straight CWS triumph for the Gamecocks, who have now won a record 16 straight NCAA tournament games.

For the Creatures’ first Photo of the Day since our return, we honor the life of North Carolina State star Lorenzo Charles who tragically passed away in a bush crash yesterday in Raleigh, NC. Charles and the Wolfpack won the 1983 NCAA title on a desperation heave-turned-alley-oop that #43 caught.  The game’s enduring memory is that of Jimmy V running around the court desperately looking for someone to hug.
