Blake Griffin is hilarious, but we already knew that.  What you might not have known though, is that NBA training camps were supposed to open yesterday. Right I know, that’s not funny.  Blake’s tweet on that subject was, however, and I appreciate the dunk machine adding some comedy amidst this basketball-less wasteland of NBA labor […]

Not quite two years ago, Josh Selby was considered this past NCAA season’s top-rated incoming freshman according to many recruiting outlets coming out of high school in Baltimore, MD.   He ended up being suspended as a result of allegedly receiving improper benefits to begin his Kansas career, and he never really got into the […]

I kinda like these local “teams” that NBA guys have been putting together over the last couple months to bide their time through the lockout.  I say “kinda” because I like it when they actually put teams together with players who really are from that city, like Hakim Warrick did in Philly, as opposed to […]

Even though Zydrunas Ilgaukas took one last hope at winning an NBA Championship to Miami with him last season, his body never allowed him to contribute to that cause. He battled foot injuries throughout most of last year, and saw his role on the Heat evaporate into nothing as the season went on.  It was […]

I often thought of David Kahn as that pesky squirrel, starving, from his inability to both see and hunt for inanimate prey in the vast forest of Minnesota during his time in the front office there.   Okay, I never really thought about him like that specifically before just now, but I do think that […]

Not to be outdone by this off-season’s series of barnstorming events, LeBron James is planning his own game too along with Heat teammates Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade.   Unlike Kevin Durant who scheduled games in his hometown of DC, or Carmelo Anthony who played a couple games in his native Baltimore, LeBron is not […]

LeBron James, Akron native and lead-ringer on Carmelo Anthony’s Team Baltimore, was met by a sold-out chorus of boos when he took to The Palestra floor last night in Philadelphia for what was dubbed “The Battle of I-95”. He went on to lead all scorers with 43 points despite the lack of love he received […]

Kyrie Irving’s right foot injury prevented him from playing in all but 11 games down at Duke since last October, but it didn’t prevent him from being taken first overall by the Cleveland Cavaliers this past June.  While Kyrie continues to say that he feels “150%” and that his foot is “fine” every time somebody […]
