Whether it wants to be considered this or not, what Impact Basketball is doing starting next week is being called “The Lockout League.” Hey, it’s simple and its catchy. The name is going to stick. Unfortunately for them, hyping this up as an NBA-only league (as opposed to all the Pro-Ams we’ve seen this summer) […]

Our series on the four jerseys fans of every NBA team continues today. It’s Pacific Division week, and today we’re focusing on the Sacramento Kings. Remember, we’re not just going to list off four popular players in team history. We know that when you’re wearing a jersey, you’re going for a “look.” So every day we’re […]

At first, I was confused as to what the whole “Marty McFly” shoe release was all about. But it turns out the McFlys are being auctioned off on EBay to help the Michael J. Fox Foundation to benefit Parkinson’s research. It features an electroluminescent outsole, space-age materials and a rechargeable internal battery good for […]

Howard Beck has been on top of the lockout like few others. And in his latest piece, he shares a nugget that may explain why labor talks have been chugging along lately. When N.B.A. labor talks resumed Wednesday, for an extended session in Midtown Manhattan, officials from the players union opened with a broad premise: Tell […]

A few weeks ago, Wilson Chandler decided he was going to roll the dice and spend this upcoming season playing in China rather than go back to the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets still own his rights (he’s a restricted free agent), but that’s not exactly going to do them a lot of good this season. […]

We’ve all done it. We’ve all gotten a direct message on Twitter as a text message. And we’ve all replied to the text message instead of going to Twitter to reply to the DM. The result is a tweet that’s broadcast to everyone. What we can only hope at that point is that we […]

Both sides met in the NBA labor dispute met for almost six hours today and, shockingly, they don’t want to kill each other. Furthermore, they are going to talk again tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. No more “next month”… no more in a couple of weeks. These guys are serious. And not only that, both sides say […]

Freed from the shackles of the World-Wide Leader, Chris Sheridan is now breaking news on his own site. The latest, after yesterday’s rosy prediction that a deal will get done in time to save the season, is the possibility of radical changes to the NBA draft. The NBA wants a third round in the draft, […]

I’m not a college football fan, but the avalanche of Twitter hate towards their uniforms was too much to ignore last night. So I fliipped over to the game and saw a uniform that seemed to be a grudging compromise between two designs. It’s the uniform equivalent of a mullet. Maybe Kevin Durant picked a […]

You can’t read a story about the NBA without some kind of preface or caveat concerning the lockout. It’s either “if we have a season” or “whenever the season starts”. But Chris Sheridan, who just left ESPN and started his own website, has authored the most positive lockout story we’ve read to date. Here, I’ll just […]

We’re getting to a point where the Goodman league team will just show up on random courts and take on all comers. After taking on the Drew League, the Melo League in Baltimore wanted a piece. Now, a team has been put together in Indianapolis, and will face off against the Goodman team on September […]
