Some things go together. Peanut butter and jelly. Ham and eggs. Pizza and beer. However, some things kind of don’t. Oil and water. Tina and Ike Turner. Isiah Thomas and anything NBA front office related. Where Gilbert Arenas and Twitter stands is debatable, but it would appear “Agent Zero” and the social media outlet is […]

It is no secret Howard struggles at the free throw line and […]

Say you are a short, unathletic, reporter who is clearly not in shape and like to cover Mixed Martials Arts. What would be the last thing you would want to do? If you said spar with a 6’9″, 250 lbs., professional NBA athlete who is training to become an MMA fighter then you would be […]

When the lockout ends and players are inevitably asked about what they did during the time away, some will say they stayed in shape, played in a few pro-am games, played overseas, or relaxed with family.  But Pau and Marc Gasol would totally win the award for “Best Use Of Time During The Lockout” because […]

They say every dunk imaginable has been done.They say the All-Star Dunk Contest isn’t what it used to be and participants have now resorted to using props such as Dwight Howard and his Superman routine. But don’t tell that to New York Knicks’ 2011 draftee Iman Shumpert.  He found a new way to finish at […]

From New York City, to San Antonio, to Sacramento, the NBA has some of the unique arenas in sports. San Antonio has the Southwest, Tex-Mex atmosphere for those in attendance, Boston gives visitors a walk through time as you are inundated with Celtic’s history and Los Angeles has the glitz and glamour anyone would expect […]

So you just got inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame which means you might go out after the ceremony for a nice quiet dinner, maybe share the night with your family and end the night with a glass of champagne and a toast to your huge accomplishment. That probably summed up the night for […]
