Waiting for the lockout to end to make his professional debut was obviously out of the question for former BYU guard Jimmer Fredette. Last night in Provo, Utah, Fredette packed the house yet again, returning to where he played out his college career. Jimmer didn’t disappoint, finishing with 27 points, 10 assists and six rebounds […]

Lakers forward Metta World Peace made his debut on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars last night, stumbling out of the gates and delivering an uncomfortable-to-watch performance. Everyone always says athletes naturally do better on DWTS, but everyone forgot to tell the former Artest. Aside from showing up with blonde hair and goatee, the getup picked […]

We’ve all heard about athletes with shoe addictions before, but it appears Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson takes the cake. Not too long ago I saw a YouTube video of Spurs draftee Ryan Richards showing off his sneaker collection of about 60 pairs of shoes all stacked up and against a wall. I consider myself […]

Several NBA players were missing from national team rosters for the FIBA Americas Championship that concluded last week in Argentina. While Brazil may have missed the most NBA players, no one was more affected by the absence than Canada. Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash played for the Canadian national team since 1993, but his last […]

The FIBA Americas Championship tipped off in Mar del Plata, Argentina yesterday featuring several NBA players. While most of the games were blowout wins, Brazil and Venezuela had the best game of the day with Tiago Splitter and Greivis Vasquez leading both teams. If you weren’t able to catch the games on ESPN3, we’ve got […]

BYU grad Jimmer Fredette has yet to shoot a jumper or his patented scoop shot in an NBA gym, but that doesn’t stop him from having an extremely large following and being one of the most anticipated NBA rookies. It’s to no one’s surprise that Fredette is doing things his own way when it comes […]

If you thought NBA 2K11 was one of the best basketball sims ever like i did, 2K Sports is upping the ante even more for the much-anticipated release of NBA 2K12 on October 4. While I loved the Jordan challenges and old school teams in last year’s game, I had two things on my wish […]

With just a little over a month before training camps would be getting started around the league, the chances of NBA players and owners coming to an agreement ay time soon is not looking good. And now those chances look worse with word that National Basketball Players Association VP Roger Mason Jr. could be headed […]

I’ve said many times this summer that the NBA lockout is a lose-lose situation. While players can look for more work overseas, owners, fans and gameday staff could stand to lose the most from the lockout. TiqIq, a third party ticket aggregator and provider, crunched the numbers to let us know exactly how much teams could […]

One thing I always look forward to in the offseason is summer league.  It’s a chance for the teams to test drive their draft picks, look at the undrafted, sort out the pieces, and shop for needs.  Sadly, with the current lockout, teams can do none of these things. As a Charlotte Bobcats blogger, I was definitely […]

After the Dallas Mavericks won their first championship with third-leading scorer Caron Butler left chewing straws in street clothes on the sidelines, many felt Butler was expendable. With Shawn Marion locked up for the next three years earning over $8 million per year, it looked like Butler was the odd-man out as he entered free […]

While several players are bolting for Europe to assure they will be playing competitive basketball during the NBA lockout, some players have talked about switching sports altogether. Recently Nate Robinson talked about playing in the NFL, which is no longer in a lockout. Could Kevin Love be next to switch sports… to beach volleyball, perhaps. […]

While the Drew and Goodman leagues in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. have been grabbing major headlines lately due to both teams boasting rosters with major NBA talent, Seattle, of all cities, proved this weekend that they have just as much talent. On Saturday, several NBA players flocked to Seattle, a city still reeling after […]

According to Marcus Thompson II of the Oakland Tribune, Golden State Warriors teammates Stephen Curry and Dorell Wright could join forces again next season…in China. While neither player currently has an offer on the table, if the lockout extends into next season, China seems to be the preferred destination for both players. “China is looking […]

As the NBA lockout enters its 13th day today and no signs of change anytime soon, more players are following the lead of Nets all-star guard Deron Williams in considering joining teams overseas. Jamal Crawford, who played with the Atlanta Hawks last season, is reportedly considering offers from two teams, and Andre Iguodala also has […]
