Video: Chuck belts out some Boys II Men and is turrible

You know him, you love him and now Charles Barkley is singing for the masses. Chuck decided to pick up the mic recently at a karaoke bar and sing Boys II Men's "End of the Road" which is quite an appropriate song seeing how this should be the end of the road of any thoughts of a […]

Better late than never: Jabbar getting statue

Remember last year when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar complained about their not being plans to build a statue of the artist formerly known as Lew Alcindor outside of Staples Center?  Well Jabbar has one less thing to complain about.  Yardbarker reports the Lakers will unveil a statue of the NBA's all-time leading scorer sometime during this coming […]

Mike Miller focused on return

Mike Miller waited until the very last game of the NBA season to make his mark. The Miami Heat sharpshooter had a very underwhelming season, missing 27 of the team’s 66 games and not logging a lot of minutes when he did play. But in Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City […]

Rajon Rondo wants to be greatest Celtic

Some franchises have a history that is extremely difficult to make your mark in. With 17 NBA Championships and one of the richest traditions of excellence in NBA history, getting into the Celtics' pantheon of greatness and having your jersey hanging in the rafters is an extremely difficult proposition. Actually, it is so difficult individual […]

Carlos Boozer isn’t an amnesty target, right now anyway

Carlos Boozer has three years and $47.1 million left on his contract. He has not been that awesome in Chicago, and a good portion of Bulls fans would have liked to see him bounced two seasons ago.  He is still in the Windy City though, and apparently will be for the short-term. While the Bulls […]

Video: Bryant, Jordan compared

Ever since he took his first shot in the NBA, Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant has been compared to Bulls legend Michael Jordan. And as crazy as that may sound, both do pull in the comparison and even Kobe himself has always thought of himself as the second-coming of MJ. Both have won scoring titles, […]

Kobe Bryant goes Princeton

The Lakers are a source of major intrigue this summer. Not only do they have a new point guard, a new center and new expectations, they also have a new assistant coach. A coach that hopes to remake the offense in the Princeton mode. The hiring of Eddie Jordan has engendered as much discussion as […]

Ranking the NBA’s uniforms

ESPN’s Paul Lukas recently did a ranking of the uniforms of all the teams of the four major pro sports leagues: the NBA, NHL, MLB and NFL. Lukas admits his bias without hesitation, which is good because it’s a very arbitrary list. It is all about style preference and he is really just ranking clothes, […]

Gasol still thinking about loss to U.S.

It was the much-anticipated matchup at the 2012 Olympic Games as Team Spain and the U.S. battled for the gold medal and the game lived up to the hype. It was a tightly contested game for much of four quarters, until the U.S. pulled away late in the game thanks to timely defensive plays and […]

Wade says he was close to joining Bulls

The core of the reigning champion Miami Heat's formation is one of the most hated stories in the NBA. First Dwyane Wade announced he was staying in Miami and Chris Bosh, sitting right next to Wade, announced he would be joining the Heat.  Simple enough.  The next night LeBron James did the Decision and everyone […]

Mayor Kevin Johnson weighs in on Sacramento Kings re-location rumors

Reports surfaced last week that the Sacramento Kings could be interested in re-locating to Virginia Beach. With respect to the destination, this latest rumor in the Kings-Could-Move-Saga was met with laughter and ridicule across the inter-webs. Virginia Beach aside, however, the idea that the Kings could still leave Sacramento is a very real possibility. Former […]

Kevin Durant isn’t waiting around for his time

Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James is shaping up to be one of the greater basketball rivalries of all time. While James currently has the upper hand, winning last season’s MVP and the NBA Finals against Durant’s Oklahoma City Thunder, it is still a close gap. Durant won the scoring title for the third year in […]

Charles Oakley calls out Magic for whiny Dwight

The Magic are not going to escape Dwight Howard for some time. He will haunt the franchise as it moves toward its future and as the team tries to recover. Until that next superstar center comes, Howard will be the one who got away. And everyone will want to know how the hell that fish […]

S-Jax can see himself retiring a Spur

Heading into the 2012-13 season, San Antonio Spurs' Stephen Jackson will be in a contract year and will be looking to show the Spurs he definitely deserves a contract extension.
