Our series on the four jerseys fans of every NBA team continues today. It’s Southeast Division week, and today we’re focusing on the Washington Wizards. Remember, we’re not just going to list off four popular players in team history. We know that when you’re wearing a jersey, you’re going for a “look.” So every day we’re […]

Ricky Rubio’s stat line against Poland in the Eurobasket tournament has people buzzing, but for all the wrong reasons. No points, no assists, no rebounds. He did have two steals, but they were offset by two turnovers. All-in-all, the numbers look really bad. I’m sure Minnesota Timberwolves fans are a little less than thrilled to […]

Los Angeles Lakers’ soon-to-be Metta World Peace may be set to cut a rug on Dancing with the Stars but he also might be ready to become the next psychic pro-athlete with this gem on how the Lakers will end the upcoming season. “Win it all,” Artest said when asked what will the Lakers do […]

I’ve never actually met a person who told me they were a professional mascot, but that’s probably just part of the code. Mascots are everywhere, and they’re all over the NBA in particular. I’d offer the rough estimate that there are 30 mascots in total, but I know for a fact there are actually more […]

Eurobasket 2011 has kicked off and so far it’s been a fantastic start. From Poland almost defeating the mighty Spanish team, to Tony Parker devestating Latvia to the tune of 31 points, to Montenegro and Macedonia needing extra time to settle their game, Eurobasket has been great as 24 teams are fighting to become Europe’s […]

Back in 2007, Kobe Bryant was throwing a temper tantrum in Los Angeles, alternately demanding to be traded yet also saying he wanted to stay in LA. At the same time, Kevin Garnett was being shopped around by the Minnesota Timberwolves. He ultimately went to Boston, where he immediately helped turn the franchise into a […]

While it was certainly a consensus feeling in Cleveland leading up to this past June’s draft that Kyrie Irving was the proper pick to be made by the Cavaliers with their No. 1 selection, the argument was made by some in anticipation of draft night that maybe Derrick Williams would be a better piece to build upon moving forward. That sentiment was […]

I get it. It’s the NBA offseason compounded with a lockout which makes for NBA fans’ cravings for basketball that more intense. But even with the Olympic qualifiers underway, fans want more and have looked to the throngs of NBA players headed to Las Vegas to play at Impact Basketball led by Phoenix Suns’ Jared […]

Nothing concrete came out of the six-hour talks that took place in Manhattan on Wednesday between the top-level negotiators of the union and the owners. There is still no light at the end of the tunnel. But they are talking. And that is more progress than there was all of July. One thing the players […]

Why do I feel that setting up a 12-foot hoop around a giant stuffed giraffe’s neck so Dwight Howard can show off is something that can only happen in Japan? And why do we show you this? Because its a million times more interesting than the negotiations update, which features no update whatsoever. Top negotiators […]

We, like many people, started debating whether Yao Ming belonged in the Hall of Fame pretty quickly after he retired. In fact, the Chinese media made a push to get him on the ballot immediately as a contributor, rather than wait the normal five years. But that’s not cool with Yao, and he’s making […]

Clipper Fan Darrell, not to be confused with the Hawks, Thunder, Kings, Celtics, and Trailblazers fans named Darrell, is planning to sleep outside the Staples Center starting October 1st in protest of the NBA lockout. His hope is that by sleeping outside for a while, the Staples Center will eventually re-open their doors and allow him to start paying […]

It seems like every NBA player is making some flirtation with a team overseas. Well, at least the superstars are. As far as the virtual players are concerned, they will still be on their teams when you unwrap your NBA 2K12 game in October — barring any crazy moves in a sped-up free agency. NBA […]
