While the Memphis Grizzlies were making their run to the second round of the Playoffs, winning the franchise’s first playoff series and capturing the attention of the NBA world for the first time in franchise history, the team’s star player and franchise player, the one it gave a max contract to that very summer, was […]

Robert Horry is just sitting back with all his NBA championship rings these days, enjoying his retirement, and talking a whole bunch of junk about about LeBron James whenever he feels like it.  As far as that last part goes, he did feel like it recently too.   When asked during an interview what Horry […]

Marcus Camby was busted a couple of weeks ago for pot possession.  But police dropped the charges after his cousin took the blame. Camby and Kendal Johnson were arrested last month after police discovered a small amount of marijuana in Camby’s car during a traffic stop in Pearland, Texas. But after weighing evidence — and […]

The board to save the entire NBA season was set after Tuesday’s much hyped meeting. The pieces are all in place and there either will be a deal before Monday, saving the 82-game season as scheduled, or there won’t. In which case, we go into a potentially devastating period where the major deadline is gone […]

Del Harris has a pretty ridiculous resume. The press release of sorts on the Texas Legends website kinda broke those accomplishments up into short, choppy, emphatic sentences, designed to wow the reader into a true understanding of how awesome Harris really is, and mission accomplished as far as I’m concerned. Here’s the intro paragraph if […]

Magic Johnson is sort of like the Godfather of the Lakers. He is no longer a player on the team, but still has a stake in the team as an executive vice president. He is still the face of the Lakers for a lot of people and I would bet a lot of Lakers fans […]

Spurs PG Tony Parker made the decision earlier this week to return home to France and play for the French club ASVEL while the NBA remains locked out, a move that makes tons of sense because Parker is from France.   While the NBA Lockout has inspired people like me to occasionally bang my head against […]

Time is on the owners’ side. They know it. The players know it. The fans know it. In this battle of millionaires vs. billionaires, the billionaires are the owners. And if their claims of losing money are true then the owners would be happy to cut their losses for a good deal for them. The […]

Preseason games are canceled, regular season games are in jeopardy and the NBA lockout continues. All this bad news just keeps mounting for many NBA fans, and it’s enough to drive fans mad. It even has gotten to Milwaukee Bucks’ Stephen Jackson. In Jackson’s new rap video he immediately describes how he and fans are […]

AK-47 holding an AK-47.   That’s commitment to the moniker.  Well played.  The giant pterodactyl is pleased. Only in Russia (or similar surrounding nations) could this picture actually happen.   Photog:  “Hey AK-47, welcome to CSKA Moscow.” Andrei:   “Thanks, so, do we just take the ‘welcome to the team’ photo here?” Photog:  “Yes.  Oh… dammit… […]

Former Los Angeles Lakers guard Michael Cooper was among the former and current Lakers players and staff at a Los Angeles Best Buy store for the debut of NBA 2K12 yesterday. The Los Angeles Times spoke with Cooper about Kobe Bryant’s contract talks with Virtus Bologna, likely because the was the only Laker there with […]

The NBA lockout rages on and both sides met today and the result was not good. In sum, no new CBA was hammered out, there is still a wide divide on the economics/money, and like past meetings, nothing got done. However, according to Derek Fisher, expect the rest of the preseason games to be canceled […]

That’s some kind of trailer for Kobe Bryant playing in Italy… or selling shoes in Italy… or just being Kobe Bryant in Italy.  It’s interesting because he seems to want to play there, but the Italian league can’t really seem to make it happen.  Still, the rumors won’t die, so we’ll see if something can […]

The name of the game is technically “LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh Present The South Florida All Star Classic.”  Not exactly catchy enough to roll right off the tongue. Whether they choose some type of abbreviation for it between now and Saturday isn’t really important though, you can call it anything you want when […]
