Before DeShawn Stevenson got a little carried away in celebration of that NBA championship, he put together a pretty respectable season coming off the bench down in Dallas.  He appeared in 72 games for the Mavs, averaged a handful of points, seemed to do okay with the whole teamwork thing, and really excelled on the defensive end […]

The lockout marches on, and you want to keep up with the details.  So we’re compiling whatever lockout related news there is here so you can stay informed.

You might not know this, but Andrei Kirilenko holds a doctorate.  Yep, he’s a “Doctor of stupidity,” which he earned from the “Jimmy The Greek school of racial sensitivity.”  In fact, he just finished his thesis with this remark.  A Russian man has been traditionally notable for his great physical power (that is to say, […]

Since James Dolan reportedly wouldn’t let Donnie Walsh bring Chris Mullin into the Knicks front office prior to Walsh leaving his post as team president, I think a game of NBA Jam style two-on-two is in order.   Dolan can dust off his old pair of Converse All Stars and team up with his boy Isiah, and those two guys can square off […]

Count Minnesota Timberwolves’ Michael Beasley out of the much anticipated Goodman-Drew League showdown in Washington later this week. According to the Washington Post, a scheduling conflict will prevent Beasley from backing up his words that the Goodman League will trounce the Drew League.  He will be replaced by Bobcats’ Dante Cunningham.
