Sixth Man of the Day: Danilo Gallinari
There’s plenty of reasons to love Danilo Gallinari, from his unbridled Italian spirit to the fact that he’s both made and attempted more three-pointers than anyone else in the league. But what distinguishes Gallo from the pack is the fact that he always seems to be having fun whether he’s on or off the court. […]

The Creamsicle: Delicious Treat, Ugly Kicks
On Wednesday night, when the Oklahoma City Thunder hosted the Dallas Mavericks at the Ford Center, the entire Thunder roster wore forward Kevin Durant’s new Nikes, dubbed the Creamsicles. Despite our love for the delicious childhood treat, the white uniform and orange shoe combo was frankly less than appetizing. More troubling was the Thunder’s lackluster […]

Sixth Man of the Day: Squad 6
If you went to a Milwaukee Bucks home game last year, you were probably greeted with a half-empty stadium and a less than enthusiastic fan base. Whether it was the rust-belt economy or the Bucks’ abysmal play, something was keeping the natives of Wisconsin out of the Bradley Center…but that was until starting center Andrew […]

Spud’s Shortlist: Philly’s other A.I., Superman Spits on the Ball, and Luc Longley’s Strange eBay bid

Sixth Man of the Day: Stephen Curry
Whatever happened to the idea of being cool? And why’s everybody gotta be so damn hard these days? In the 70s, you had Barry White smiling at his fans and Walt “Clyde” Frazier gracing NBA arenas with his smooth play and even smoother vocal stylings. But these days you’ve got Jay-Z trying to scare the […]

Sixth Man of the Day: Kiki Vandeweghe
At 0–17, it’s no secret that New Jersey Nets are an absolute train wreck. But with today’s announcement that Kiki Vandeweghe will be taking over as head coach, the Nets may have found just the remedy to erase the goose egg from the win column. Who better than an NBA Legend to lead a young, […]

Sixth Man of the Day: Stephon Marbury
Somehow, we’ve never recognized Stephon Marbury as our Sixth Man of the Day…but that ends now. Sure, we like Transformers as much as the next guy. But it takes true fanaticism, some serious cojones, and a stroke of genius to strap on an Optimus Prime helmet and stream yourself live to your adoring fans…all at […]

Hotlanta is Back!
Young, gifted and ridiculously athletic, the Atlanta Hawks have showed flashes of brilliance, but no one saw them as a legitimate contender coming into this season. It’s been the same story for years — a decent squad, but bowing out in the first round of the playoffs was all that was ever expected. But fifteen […]

A Savage Southpaw…with a tender side.
He might be all smiles outside of the ring, but on Saturday night Manny Pacquaio proved that inside the ropes, he’s one of the fiercest, most punishing boxers that has ever lived. While many of the so-called experts were picking Miguel Cotto to take down the smaller Pacquiao, by the end of the third round, […]
