This Blake Griffin guy gets me every time.  My favorite line in the video below is when he’s discussing the first win of his Ping Pong career.  He tilted the table up in that match and competed against himself, he said.   In the featured match below he is competing against Soo Yeon Lee, Professional […]

The International Olympic Committee is surely happy the NBA is back in business. International players may not have faced this problem, but the U.S. national team and the NBA are tied so closely together that there were concerns that America’s best players won’t be heading to London. Safe to say the lockout had ended all […]

Commissioner David Stern is clearly ready to move on from this whole lockout mess. He wants to pretend it never happened and just play basketball. But things don’t work that way. The fans still feel a little scorned by what happened, by the loss of some of their season and having to worry when they’d […]

The JET appears to be pulling off the runway down in Dallas after seven plus years of service. Or would that be the JET is preparing to fly out of town?  Whatever the case, Jason Terry’s days down in “Big D” as a member of the Dallas Mavericks could most likely end in the coming […]

As the NBA is gearing up to kick off on Christmas Day, so is former NBA great Shaquille O’Neal gearing up for his debut on TNT’s famous Inside the NBA show with Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, Chris Webber, and Charles Barkley. So what better way to pump up the fans who are yearning for Christmas […]

After enduring 149 days of the NBA lockout, the movement to get the season started in time for the all-important Christmas day quintuple-header has begun in earnest. While the new CBA gets officially ratified at the end of the week, the NBA went ahead and released the new 66-game NBA season schedule on NBA TV […]

OK so the NBA lockout might have been nauseating for all NBA fans but there is no doubting it did give us some great highlights, courtesy of Brandon Jennings of the Milwaukee Bucks. From coast to coast, Jennings made any summer exhibition game he took part in his personal stage to basically humiliate anyone courageous enough […]

Last time I mentioned the current state of Brandon Roy and the Portland Trailblazers on these blogwaves it appeared an epic run together, that once looked as promising as any in the Association, was coming to a close. There were reports of Portland’s plans to use the Amnesty Clause on Roy immediately, not even bringing […]

Things are looking great for the Los Angeles Clippers. Once the butt of many NBA jokes, the Clips are slowly becoming a popular destination for players via trade or free-agents looking for a job. And who can blame them? The Clippers boast a roster with players such as Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon, DeAndre Jordan, Eric Bledsoe, […]

Vince Carter isn’t the high-flying big time all-star he used to be, but he could still be an asset to a team looking for a championship. Carter spent last season in Phoenix after being traded from Orlando, and now ESPN is reporting that the Suns don’t want Carter’s big contract this year. If the Suns […]

A lot of people are ecstatic the NBA is back. Christmas Day is going to be extremely special for basketball fans with a new season and five games to unwrap. Christmas Day was already seen as the true beginning of the season by casual fans. So who loses with the season season’s beginning on Christmas […]

I’ll admit, I was still figuring out the ins-and-outs of the new CBA when I reacted to Deron Williams opting out of his contract with the New Jersey Nets.  Under the old CBA, that was an indication that he was going to explore his options and possibly not come back.  But under this new deal, […]
