Kyle Lowry went for 56 points in his Impact Basketball Game on Thursday in Las Vegas, and his performance was every bit as ridiculous as that stat line would indicate.  The previous high so far for the Series out at Impact had been 35 points, and Lowry shattered that mark by 21.   He took it in stride too, and told me it […]

If ever there was a time for Reebok’s Pump Division to enter the competitive world of Men’s Dress Shoes, that moment has arrived. After earning legendary status in the eternal history of NBA dunk contests for his Pumps inspired win in 1991, Dee Brown is back on NBA sidelines in desperate need of some supportively fly kicks to complement his Armani’s.  I was […]

Kevin Love posted an update on his Facebook page around 2pm today that read: “Houston, we have a coach.”  As opposed to 1995, that is, when Tom Hanks informed flight command similarly in Texas that his team had a “problem.” That coach to replace Kurt Rambis in leadership of Kevin Love’s Minnesota Timberwolves is widely assumed to be Rick Adelman.  A report from the Minneapolis […]

Even though MJ may have felt like talking about Andrew Bogut while in Australia is basically the same thing as talking about wine when in Italy, he still wasn’t allowed to do it.   The NBA may be locked out and unable to reach players with their long arm of David Stern’s legislative department, but they can still […]

I think this Nike Back For The Future campaign in support of Michael J. Fox’s foundation to benefit Parkinson’s research is a tremendously cool way to raise money for a tremendously important issue.  I was a fan of Micheal J. Fox’s ever since he was rolling with Marty McFly and Alex P. Keaton back in the […]

I couldn’t help but envision this Ben Stiller-esque “Starsky and Hutch” style dance-off at the disco between Dwight Howard and Shaquille O’Neal after I was about fifteen seconds into the video below.  I don’t know why either, I’m just being honest with you. I felt like any moment Howard’s rival caped crusader was going to jump into the […]

I’m getting older, and as luck would have it I haven’t started to see signs of my hairline racing away from my forehead quite yet.  I appreciate that personally, but more than that I also don’t feel its my place to crack on anybody I know my age or younger who’s been faced with the […]

After pressing play on the video below, keep your eye on the white guy dressed in a blue t-shirt with black shorts in the back middle of the stage, that’s Steve Nash.  Now I’d like to crack on Stevie for being a bad dancer, but after further evaluation of the fact that nobody else is trying to dance […]

When you consider the fact that Jonas Valanciunas is young, fresh, as well as fly, and then combine that with the reality that he has both stacks and gold medals, it was really only a matter of time before rap songs started dropping in his honor.  In this case, the Lithuanian Rapper by the catchy street handle of O’Grime took that initiative earlier this […]

The best athletes in the world these days play NBA Basketball.  This isn’t to say that Brian Scalabrine is a better athlete than Mike Vick, obviously, but I think for the most part it’s collectively agreed upon that this statement is generally accurate. Amongst this group of athletic elite, there aren’t too many people more athletic than Russell Westbrook.  LeBron would probably […]

I’ve never actually met a person who told me they were a professional mascot, but that’s probably just part of the code.  Mascots are everywhere, and they’re all over the NBA in particular.  I’d offer the rough estimate that there are 30 mascots in total, but I know for a fact there are actually more […]

While it was certainly a consensus feeling in Cleveland leading up to this past June’s draft that Kyrie Irving was the proper pick to be made by the Cavaliers with their No. 1 selection, the argument was made by some in anticipation of draft night that maybe Derrick Williams would be a better piece to build upon moving forward.  That sentiment was […]

Clipper Fan Darrell, not to be confused with the Hawks, Thunder, Kings, Celtics, and Trailblazers fans named Darrell, is planning to sleep outside the Staples Center starting October 1st in protest of the NBA lockout.  His hope is that by sleeping outside for a while, the Staples Center will eventually re-open their doors and allow him to start paying […]
