I do not even know where to begin with this! The fine folks of Taiwan really like Lakers’ Kobe Bryant. I mean reallllllllyyyyy like Kobe. But after seeing this sculpture of Bryant depicted as “Achilles” (see what the artist did there?) I have to say his fans in Asia worship him as a god. Check […]

As if Team France needed more bad news. On paper, Team France should be a power in international play. With a roster that boasts Tony Parker, Joakim Noah, Boris Diaw, Nando De Colo, Kevin Seraphin, Evan Fournier, Nicolas Batum, and Ian Mahinmi, France has it all. However, that is on paper. Heading into the 2014 FIBA […]

I get it. All pro-basketball players won’t ever be perfect. Not even Michael Jordan was perfect. But there’s missing the occasional shots, a turnover here and there or a blown defensive assignment, then there’s airballing two free throws… in a row! As the 2014 FIBA World Cup draws near, Indiana Pacers’ Ian Mahinmi (playing for […]

San Antonio Spurs’ Marco Belinelli is either training for the next summer Olympics or he really wants to report to training camp in shape.
I would say he really wants to come into next season in great shape and he is getting there by pulling an SUV.
Yeah you read that right, Belinelli is pulling an SUV as part of his offseason regiment.
Don’t believe me? Check out Marco doing some serious training (via Project Spurs). Talk about motivation to get up off the couch and run a few laps.

File this under signs of the apocalypse. Apparently there is a rap album titled “Full Court Press Vol. 1” which features several NBA players doing what they should not be doing — thinking they are rap stars. Players such as Shawn Marion, Carlos Boozer, Iman Shumpert, Juwan Howard, Glen Davis and others will be lending their voice […]

Who says the best dunkers come from the NBA? During the offseason, the Drew League out in L.A. put on a dunk contest and from the look of the video below, dare I say better than the NBA Dunk Contest?

You know you are in for a treat when something huge in the NBA happens and the Taiwanese animators get their hands on it and sum it the only way they know how – with complete absurdity. And by complete absurdity, I mean Kevin Love and LeBron James spinning in circles and holding hands. The […]

If this is what Spain has in store for the 2014 FIBA World Cup, then all teams in the field have just been put on notice. Team Spain faced Team Angola in an exhibition game and during the fourth quarter, Thunder’s Serge Ibaka completely wrecked Angola with one rim-rocking dunk. And though the dunk is […]

Ron Artest… err… Metta World Peace… err… The Panda’s Friend felt the need to put on a panda mask while walking on Venice Beach. The thing is seeing how this is Metta, why am I not shocked? Metta will be playing in China next season so I get why he did it but still, this […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently playing for Team Greece in exhibition play for the 2014 FIBA World Cup later this month and versus Team France, he displayed much athleticism, speed and ability to get to the rim with ease. Giannis finished […]
