Rajon Rondo can do a lot of things. Shooting a jumper, however, is not exactly his forte. Now, it has gotten better, despite what you might hear.

Bill Walton and Arvydas Sabonis are tight. Really tight. So tight that Walton was Sabonis’ presenter at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. So back in the day when something went down between Sabonis and then Blazer Rasheed Wallace, Bill thought he should have done something. He didn’t, though, and he still regrets it. “In […]

From the outside looking in, the Pistons were as big a mess as I’ve seen in the NBA in a long time… maybe ever. I struggle to find many redeeming qualities to the season. So when you ask a player “what the hell happened?”, you should get an answer that somewhat captures the true crap […]

Yep, he’s a “Doctor of stupidity,” which he earned from the “Jimmy The Greek school of racial sensitivity.” In fact, he just finished his thesis with this remark. A Russian man has been traditionally notable for his great physical power (that is to say, […]

Andrew Bynum’s May-through-July hasn’t exactly been a rose-petal covered path to enlightenment. From going out like a punk in the playoffs to getting caught parking in a handicapped spot, Drew has had to deal with his fair share of negative publicity. And it’s that negative publicity that is, in part, fueling trade rumors involving him, […]

Well, well, well… the Kendrick Perkins saga just got a lot more interesting. Not only is he disputing police claims that he was drunk and ready to fight anyone, Perk’s lawyer says it was Perkins who was the victim.

It’s LeBron James’ turn to do the China thing. Y’know, sell a few sneakers, take a picture with a Panda… China stuff. And that includes getting his pocket picked and summarily getting dunked on by some kid. The best part about it all has to be the llittle smoke machine thing that followed. It’s like […]

Photo: Approximate arrest location (via Google Street View) and the Kendrick Perkins arrest log via the Beaumont, TX police department I’d like to thank the Internet for being itself this weekend and proving once again that most things need to be checked and re-checked before believing something is true. The initial reports of what happened […]

You can say a lot of things about Dennis Rodman. And after watching his Hall of Fame induction speech, it’s pretty clear he knows that there’s a ring of truth to every bit of it. I saw a tweet in the middle of it that said Rodman’s acceptance was less speech and more baring […]

Manchester United at #1 and Real Madrid at #5 represent two of the most popular soccer teams of all time. Even non-soccer fans know them. The Dallas Cowboys (2) and Washington […]
