The NBA Jam Video Game series seems as if it’s been around forever.  Like everything on this earth that isn’t water, wind, or sun, however, it actually hasn’t been around quite that long. In the early 1990’s, the good people at Williams Electronics started to first streamline their two-on-two dunking ideas into a cohesive video […]

The latest Jordan Brand commercial was released on YouTube earlier this week, and features Dwayne Wade, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony going anywhere and everywhere they can to play in a game of basketball because they love it so much.   That love D-Wade, CP3, and Carmelo each have for basketball is demonstrated by their […]

Kevin Garnett’s involvement in the Labor Negotiations a few weeks ago was highly publicized.  He reportedly went in on behalf of the Union and told the Owners that the 50-50 deal they were offering on October 4th was not acceptable to the players.  While there is no truth to the rumor that he gave them […]

The Texas Rangers were down 2 games to 1 heading into Sunday’s game against the St. Louis Cardinals.  Then, on Sunday, NBA Champion Dirk Nowitzki did the Ron Washington dance, known more simply as the “The Wash”, and now the Rangers are up 3 games to 2.  It’s not a coincidence. Video of both Dirk […]

There’s any number of low-hanging fruit punchlines to choose from in response to Michael Beasley saying that he thinks he can become a leader amongst his Timberwolves teammates, but I don’t intend to select any of those. I’m actually going the other way here, and buying in low on Beasley’s ability to become just that. […]

The NBA hadn’t invited the first ballot Hall of Famer to play amongst NBA All Stars when it was most recently in session, but now that it’s not, Allen Iverson is planning a game of his own.  Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Iverson is organizing a two game tournament of sorts to be played in […]

If there is one person who could actually make a Kia Optima seem cool it’s this guy.  After Baron Davis fed him an oop out the sun roof while he leapt over an Optima during the dunk contest in his first commercial, this Blake Griffin as the Kia pitchman take two. This time Blake is […]

NBA Labor Talks have broken up after George Cohen locked everybody in a room for approximately three straight days, but it appears both sides are no further along than they were before the mediator extraordinaire stepped in to save the universe from a basketball work stoppage.   Below is what Woj had to report through […]

I suppose Virtus Roma should have taken a page out of Virtus Bologna’s penning a letter to Barack Obama book and fired off at least an email to Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu to help garner support for their efforts to sign Toronto Raptors big man Andrea Bargnani.  Actually I don’t really know if that […]

The last time the United States won Olympic Gold with College Basketball Players representing the mighty US of A was in 1984.  The games were in L.A., Bob Knight was the coach, and the team went 8-0 led by North Carolina product Mike Jordan, Georgetown big man Pat Ewing, and Chris Mullin from St. John’s. […]

Pamela McGee was an All-American at USC who won back-to-back NCAA titles, an Olympic gold medal in the 1984 L.A. Games, was the second overall pick of the 1997 WNBA draft at the age of 34, and is the mother of Washington Wizards big man JaVale McGee.   If JaVale McGee’s mother was anybody else, […]

I’m not really sure that the Nets moving to Brooklyn necessarily opens up a vacancy in New Jersey for a future NBA franchise to replace them, but I guess Shaq feels differently. Or maybe he just wants to bring an NBA franchise to his hometown, kinda like Mr. Carter is sorta doing for his.   […]

During a recent speaking engagement, Magic Johnson made some jokes about LeBron James to the delight of his audience.  If you fast forward the video below to the one minute mark, that’s where he starts in on the self-proclaimed king of the NBA. http://youtube.com/watch?v= BzfZyJU2v6c[/youtube] I transcribed Magic Johnson’s comments below:  “There’s gonna always be […]

As a brand that has been struggling to keep pace with Nike over the last decade or so, this isn’t the best time for the NBA to shut things down on Adidas.  Their featured pitchman Derrick Rose is the League’s reigning MVP, the adiZero Rose 2 just dropped, and both he and his Bulls show no […]

Since the NBA is locked out and football is in full swing, we decided to put together our list of who we think would start on a 22-man NFL Football team consisting completely of current NBA players. We broke it down into five parts, and this is the final installment. For more on the Defensive […]
