You might need to watch that a couple of times to get the full effect of it.  That’s Rajon Rondo from his own charity game at Harvard this past weekend.  And that’s Rudy Gay catching the alley oop that Rondo had headbutted to him. The most amazing part of that is how they managed to […]

Michael Jordan isn’t the most liked guy right now among some locked out NBA players after his hard-lined approach in favor of the owners during this NBA labor impasse. But if you think any of that scorn is bothering his “Airness,” think again. Seems Jordan still likes to partake in some high-stakes poker. Despite his […]

Add this to the ever-growing list of reasons the NBA lockout needs to end, like, NOW.

When President Barack Obama was aboard the USS Vinson for the Michigan State / North Carolina game about a week ago he said that the lockout was killing him.  He referenced feeling sympathy for the concession stand workers and arena employees adversely affected by this Lockout, and even offered a dig of sorts directed towards the […]

This ought to be fun.  LeBron James is going back to Akron to play ball.  With no end to the NBA lockout in sight, the All-Star group is set to lead a four-game “Homecoming Tour,” starting with a matchup in James’ hometown of Akron, Ohio on Dec. 1, followed by a Dec. 4 game in […]

As if Andrei Kirilenko’s head bouncing of the floor isn’t bad enough, there was another overseas injury nightmare this weekend.  JR Smith hurt his knee in one of those non-contact injuries that always scares the hell out of you.  Here’s video of the injury (via the Denver Post): It’s just an awkward step and then […]

Avert your eyes Utah Jazz fans and coaching staff because Andrei Kirilenko had one nasty fall. “AK 47” is currently playing with CSKA Moscow for the duration of the NBA lockout and in a recent game, Andrei had a very scary fall to the court. And by “scary fall” I mean Kirilenko hit the court […]

NBA coaches do not have a lot to do right now. Barred from contacting their players, drawing up plays, giving puzzled looks at referees or worrying about appeasing their superstar players or managing egos, coaches are kind of doing office jobs. Sure, there might be some general game planning for the season and planning for […]

Miami Heat’s Dwayne Wade could be the next NBA basketball player trying to get himself to where JR Smith is. This Lockout really has produced some sentences you never thought you’d read, hasn’t it?  Anyways, I don’t mean to infer that Wade is thinking about playing professional basketball in China like the forward-thinking Smith, although […]

It’s an idea that’s been tossed around. The fans have thought it. It’s certainly crossed the mind of the players, Amar’e Stoudemire even came out and said it. What do you need the owners for? Why not start a player-run league? Slam Online reports that Billy Hunter, the former head of the players’ union, has […]

Brace yourselves Memphis Grizzlies fans and coaching staff. What Rudy Gay did will make you pull your hair out and might force the Memphis management to take on the hefty fine and contact Gay during the lockout. Take a ledge, a 25-foot rim, the Grizzlies’ franchise player (who last season dealt with a season-ending shoulder injury) jumping […]

I wonder if this thought has even crossed any of the NBA owners’ minds. What if we go ahead and settle out of court with the players and have a condensed season.  Will the NBA fans return?  I’m sure they will.  They want to support their team.  They want to see their favorite players and […]
