Good times are coming to Motown if their backup point guard can continue doing this. (Detroit4Lyfe) Iverson’s gonna retire? Here’s 8 other players who should join him. (ZonerSports) Climb Aboard the Joakim Noah Bandwagon! (Not Qualified to Comment) Peter Robert Casey points out why the Knicks will miss out on LeBron. (Huffington Post Sports) Devin […]
It isn’t all that surprising for a famous person to change their name. Kareem Abdul Jabbar did it for religious reasons, World B. Free did it to enact social change, and Jennifer Anastassakis became Jennifer Aniston because, well, it makes her a hell of a lot hotter. But Nuggets guard J.R. Smith’s decision to go […]
Mike D’Antoni coaches a terrible team…but he does resemble the pitch-man for a delicious snack. (Stacheketball) We’re big fans of the NBA on TNT, especially Charles Barkley, so here’s ten of their funniest commercials. (UnAthletic Mag) Real fans know that the NBA season doesn’t really begin until you’ve been Kaman’d. (The Sports Hernia) No surprise […]
Will Bynum is a true (eye)baller and it turns out that religion wasn’t the only thing Dwight Howard learned at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy. (Detroit 4 Lyfe) Delonte West’s arsenal apparently included a bowie knife…and made us think of this. Can you believe we’re scouting a kid who won’t be in the NCAA until 2014? […]
It’s no secret that Los Angeles Clipper fans have never had much to cheer for. And from a horrendous track record in the draft to an owner who’s more interested in outing minorities from his real estate empire, the Clippers have been a laughing stock for years. Let’s face it, it’s hard for any team […]
Ron Artest…New Lakers Forward…NBA Bad Boy…Hair Artist? Introducing the Big Shackqle. (Not Qualified to Comment) We’ve all seen the Knicks franchise implode over the last ten years. Here’s a video that sums it up in under a minute. Can’t wait to hear what annoying reference Stu Scott comes up with for this dunk. (Dime Magazine) […]
It’s no secret that NBA rosters across the league are filled with guys who have had tumultuous marriages. And coming on the heels of the Dirk Nowitzki/Cristal Taylor debacle, the sudden wedding of Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian just didn’t seem that unusual. Forget the fact that they’d only dated for a month, or that Lamar […]
Anyone who attended the exhibition game between the New York Knicks and Israeli squad Maccabi Tel Aviv this past weekend probably didn’t expect emotions to be running high. The teams aren’t in the same league, the proceeds of the game were benefiting charity, and New York’s got a ton of jews. Smooth sailing, right? Wrong. […]
David Stern was typically vague in his comments yesterday about the NBA’s expansion out of the United States and into cities in Europe, Asia or perhaps even Africa, but did profess his belief that the fan-base is there. Sure, there’s still work to be done — such as creating new arenas — but if the […]
By now, we’ve all heard that Lamar Odom married the least hot youngest Kardashian sister this past weekend. But marrying a busty Armenian chick with a famous last name isn’t enough to get you the coveted Sixth Man of the Day Award. Sure, we’re impressed that Khloe can eat more skittles in one sitting than her […]
Turn down the lights, shut off the camera and send the fans home…Agent Zero will entertain no longer. Gilbert Arenas, who has been a pioneer for media-savvy NBA players, announced that he will shut down his popular blog, twitter account and all other digital “distractions” to focus on his basketball game. In plain-speak, he wants […]
With news that billionaire and Russia’s richest man Mikhail Prokhorov has made an offer to buy the New Jersey Nets, American fans of the NBA are faced with a quandary: can we root for a team owned by a bunch of commies? As children of the late 20th century, it’s hard for some of us […]
Just when we thought Delonte West couldn’t get any cooler, he goes right out and proves us wrong. And leave it up to Delonte to do it with style. Today started out like any old Friday in September — Delonte put his Beretta 9mm in his waistband, strapped the old Ruger .357 to his leg, […]
A forearm shiver when an opponent tried to cut down the baseline and an elbow to the back while defending in the post…these are the memories that Bruce Bowen has left behind as he retired from the NBA last week. The key defensive stopper on a Spurs team that dominated the turn of the 21st century, […]
We’ve all been there. It’s 2AM, you’ve got a horrific case of cottonmouth, and you’re craving some fried chicken. So you hit up the KFC where your cousin works. Ain’t no thang. But you don’t become the Sixth Man of the Day for getting your cousin to hook you up with some of the Colonel’s […]
Like it or not, sports is a business. While it may be more glamorous than sitting in a cubicle or unclogging someone’s toilet, athletes are still hard-working employees, and the smart ones know that when opportunity knocks, you damn well better open that door. So while many fans scratched their heads as Hedo Turkoglu moved […]
It wasn’t only pretty boy ballers and movie stars at the ESPYs, there were also some true badasses. So as Isiah Jones mingled on the red carpet, he set aside some time to talk to a few of the fighters that came out for the awards. The Iron Sheik was a little loony, Cris Cyborg […]
Many athletes have a healthy respect for sports bloggers…some even write their own. But not Reggie Theus. So when Isiah Jones, AAU basketball player of the year, asked Reggie for his thoughts on the matter at the ESPY awards, he had plenty to say. Reggie is spot on — I’m writing this post from my […]
Let’s face it, Isiah Jones is the next big thing. But while he may be the AAU basketball player of the year, if he wants to get on SportsCenter, he’s still gotta rub elbows with the right people. So as he hung out with the celebrities and athletes at the ESPYs, he made sure to […]
Earlier today we introduced you to the one and only Isiah Jones, your guide for the 2009 ESPY Awards. While Isiah is the AAU basketball player of the year and one of the most talented up and comers on the hardwood, he’s got bigger dreams than just conquering the NBA — he plans to take […]
