Caron Butler didn’t get to celebrate the Dallas Mavericks championship the way he’d hoped.  Dressed in street clothes since rupturing his patellar tendon in January, Butler had to sit and watch the entire playoff run.  But now, 10 months after the injury, Butler is finally going to put on a uniform and ball in front […]

Over and over again NBA players try rapping and over and over again, they fail. From Spurs’ DeJuan Blair, and Tony Parker to Allen Iverson, Chris Webber and many more, it just seems NBA players see a mic and instantly think they got what it takes to rap. If anything they fail.

It’s safe to say Los Angeles Lakers’ Kobe Bryant is financially sound. Between the millions he has made with the Lakers and endorsement deals, it’s highly unlikely Bryant will be pulling a “Sprewell” and state he needs more money to feed his family. So when the Italian club Virtus Bologna came calling and offered Bryant […]
