HoopMixTape.com is out with its top plays from Drew/Goodman 2 – Electric Boogaloo. Expect a lot of John Wall and Kevin Durant, and a lot of dunking with people running out of the way. I’m sure the games have been a lot of fun, but I’m quite ready for actual basketball to return.

“The NBA players will stop at nothing to get all the cheese,” according to Stephen Colbert. Whether or not he is completely right about that or not, he is definitely accurate in depicting the NBA owners as “our nation’s leading employers of tiny blimp pilots.” They have to be. It’s also good to hear that […]

And with that, comes the reality that thousands of people will have to find other ways to make money.

It was a report that had many of us saying, “Wow, for real? This could be huge.” What followed was so much flip-flopping from Virtus owner, Claudio Sabatini, […]

Yesterday, I was sitting at a bar grabbing a quick lunch when a bartender turned to the TV, saw the news, and asked “so who is this Steve Jobs guy?” I damn near choked on my sandwich. How can you not know Steve Jobs? What I’m about to share with you from Ricky Rubio is […]

In 2001, Michael Jordan and the Washington Wizards decided it was a wise move to make Kwame Brown the first pick overall out of High School in Georgia during that summer’s NBA Draft. As the story goes, Kwame told Doug Collins and the Wizards brain-trust during a pre-draft work-out, “If you draft me, you […]

Sure it’s probably not worth investing a couple thousand dollars for you and a friend to sit courtside at, but I don’t really know how these rosters could be anymore loaded for this game down in Miami. The only thing they could’ve probably done is bring back Iverson and Shaq in their respective primes, or […]

And that’s exactly what the world got when adidas released their latest commercial featuring Rose and his new sneakers, the adiZero Rose 2.0. It was a pretty clever commercial. Rose plays for the Bulls, […]

In the last two games, Williams is 6 for 28 from the floor and had six turnovers last time out specifically. In that most recent game he helped his Bestikas team in […]

The NBA has seen many legendary big man grace the hardwood. David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Hakeem Olajuwon, Bill Russell, Shaquille O’Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are just a few in a short list among the pantheon of dominant big men but none were as dominant as Wilt Chamberlain. From scoring 100 points in a game, capturing […]
