Rick Barry is known for being, oh, let’s use the word “abrasive.”  He also comes from an era where he made waves by signing a “lucrative” three-year, $500,000 contract.  So it’s no shock that a perpetually angry old-school guy who made as much over his playing career as Eddy Curry made in a couple of […]

Let’s face it, we are all yearning for some NBA action and while some of us have turned to our trusty NBA 2k12 video game or watch constant reruns of classic games on NBA TV, it just isn’t quite the same. So as you continue to wait out the lockout and hope for the best, […]

Ed Macauley’s name will not show up on any version of NBA2K12. The Hall of Famer was not one of the all-time greats, although still a very good player. His role in NBA history has more to do with the trade Boston made sending him to St. Louis (along with the Ice Capades in a […]

I think lots of people are looking forward to Shaq’s book release next week. I doubt that’s because of his uncanny storytelling ability, or Jackie MacMullan’s knack for writing. It’s probably mostly to see what drama Shaq wants to disclose to the public, making Shaq’s book almost like watching an episode of “Keeping up with […]

George Karl is a cool guy. He’s coached in the NBA for over two decades, he’s won over one thousand games, he’s got a son who played in the Association, and he helped navigate the Denver Nuggets through the “Melo Drama” of last season into the NBA Playoffs for the twentieth time in his career […]

Yes I know. The NBA lockout is sucking the life force from you as each day passes. You think there is no NBA news out there for you to feast on as you begrudgingly ride out this lockout. But fret not NBA fans, the Bloguin network has a stellar NBA blog roster that you really […]

The fiscal term “Black Friday” is known in America as a day when thousands of shoppers wake up extra early to catch door-busting sales at countless department stores around the nation. The Friday after Thanksgiving is also a very busy day in college football as numerous games are scheduled to be played as most Americans […]

(NSFW lyrics) A few days ago it looked like the players union was in complete disarray.  Derek Fisher had been accused of being in David Stern’s hip pocket, players had been begging to play, and it looked like Phoenix Suns owner Rob Sarver could have squatted over a piece of paper and have the players […]

Today is ultimatum day. The players made their stand after a meeting of the team representatives and vowed to continue fighting for what they feel is a fair deal. They, in essence, are calling the league’s bluff and daring them to cancel more games and present a deal to the players that the league already […]

San Antonio Spurs legend George Gervin said recently he thinks the “three point shot is the worst in basketball,” and there is no truth to the rumor that he feels this way after years of trying to finger roll it in from way out there unsuccessfully.  In a video featured on the Bloguin Network’s Project […]

So, is anyone as NBA starved as I am? You know, back when the lockout began in July, I didn’t panic.  I had in my head that it would last through August for sure, and maybe part of September, but surely it would be over before October. I really expected that a deal would be struck, […]

Just when I was showering Minnesota Timberwolves’ Ricky Rubio with praise comes this gem. Say you’re a rookie in the NBA and will soon embark on your first steps on basketball’s biggest stage. Let’s also add how you know there is an on-going lockout and although you can’t workout with your team’s coaching staff, you’re […]

Yes, Steve Blake.  As in the LA Lakers guard?  The guy who has played on five teams in eight years?  The guy who averaged four points and two assists last season?  The guy who looks like House M.D. in the photo?  Yeah, that guy.  With all the mega-stars in the league, it’s going to be […]

Scott Raab wrote a book titled The Whore of Akron, and there are a few unflattering mentions of LeBron James in said book.  Just a few.  This simple fact did not stop Raab from attempting to deliver a copy to LeBron’s Akron house, as you can see in the video below.  He even autographed it […]
