This is just NOT Michael Beasley’s summer.  First, he gets pulled over and busted for pot.  Then he joined the summer pro-am circuit and pushed a fan in the face.  And now it seems he broke his wrist during an exhibition tour of China: The exact details remain somewhat murky. But here’s what’s being reported […]

John referenced this past Tuesday that Impact Basketball is launching their own league starting in September, and that news has since been met with a number of players around the NBA world calling shotgun on a roster spot.  Nothing is official yet, but rosters will reportedly be announced on September 6th, with league games slated to start on September […]

In the seeming small-market versus big-market conflict of the NBA lockout, one of the concerns has been what happened last summer. Everyone in the league seemed blindsided when word leaked out that LeBron James was taking his talent to South Beach. Small-market owners already claiming loss and hardship suddenly saw their ability to keep and […]

There is no doubting the NBA and basketball in general is a global game. From China to Argentina to Japan, basketball is quite popular as fans wear their favorite player’s jersey, stay up late to catch NBA games, and passionately follow their favorite team. There’s a great reason for this level of passion.  Many contries […]

It is done. Problem solved. Lockout over. Let’s get to work.

Last weekend the Drew-Goodman League took place as the Goodman League walked away with the narrow victory. Leading the way was Thunder’s Kevin Durant as he finished with 44 points and was named the MVP. But aside from the final score, the game gave many basketball fans some great memories and four-quarters of ball with […]

Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard is hands down the best big man in the NBA. Dominant on the defensive end and a bull on the offensive end, opposing teams usually have no answer when trying to defend him. Except for one tactic – hacking. It is no secret Howard struggles at the free throw line and […]

Gilbert Arenas often spends his time on Twitter acting like a misogynistic a-hole, so pardon me if I giggle childishly at this news.   In a nutshell, Gil sued his ex-fiancee to keep her from going on the next “Basketball Wives” show, mentioning his name, and telling the whole world his business.  He lost, because of […]

BYU grad Jimmer Fredette has yet to shoot a jumper or his patented scoop shot in an NBA gym, but that doesn’t stop him from having an extremely large following and being one of the most anticipated NBA rookies. It’s to no one’s surprise that Fredette is doing things his own way when it comes […]

Say you are a short, unathletic, reporter who is clearly not in shape and like to cover Mixed Martials Arts. What would be the last thing you would want to do? If you said spar with a 6’9″, 250 lbs., professional NBA athlete who is training to become an MMA fighter then you would be […]
