Lakers forward Metta World Peace made his debut on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars last night, stumbling out of the gates and delivering an uncomfortable-to-watch performance. Everyone always says athletes naturally do better on DWTS, but everyone forgot to tell the former Artest. Aside from showing up with blonde hair and goatee, the getup picked […]

It’s a little odd to be typing this because, honestly, I shouldn’t be.  Jerry Sloan should still be coaching.  But we all know some things went down and, well, here we are.  So I suppose it’s not really much of a surprise to hear that a guy who probably never really wanted to leave probably […]

Although France was dotted with solid players, Spain’s huge advantage was size. The tandem of Pau and Marc Gasol manned the paint but it was the huge defensive effort by Thunder’s Serge Ibaka which sent […]

I was hanging out at Impact Basketball early Sunday afternoon watching Philadelphia 76ers’ big man Maresse Speights finish up his individual training session at the facility when Rudy Gay came rolling in wearing a Memphis Grizzlies baseball hat, so I figured I’d stay and watch his too.  I had that image of Gay with a shoulder brace on […]

NSFW language in video World Star Hip Hop stepped into DeShawn Stevenson’s house, and into his studio to reveal a “Wall of Fame” tribute to his favorite rappers as well as a huge mural of himself, his wife and his kids.   Prepare yourself for an eight minute experience that ends with him asking everyone […]

We’ve all heard about athletes with shoe addictions before, but it appears Atlanta Hawks guard Joe Johnson takes the cake. Not too long ago I saw a YouTube video of Spurs draftee Ryan Richards showing off his sneaker collection of about 60 pairs of shoes all stacked up and against a wall. I consider myself […]

Never before have NBA players been so athletic.  Some can run fast enough to qualify as an Olympic sprinter.  Some have physiques so amazing, they could slide right onto any NFL sideline.  They are, to borrow from the popular cliche, bigger, faster and stronger than ever before.  Action happens quickly.  Bang-bang plays happen at the […]
