You remember the recent video of Lakers’ Kobe Bryant going off on teammates and GM Mitch Kupchak? Well apparently that isn’t anything new. Speaking with NBA Radio, Mitch said the tirade was blown out of proportion and that Kobe’s out burst was simply a product of some trash talking, competition and high energy. Or as […]

2K is a great company and now one that people will really connect with as they’ve done something incredibly awesome.

It seems Clippers’ Matt Barnes and DeAndre Jordan had some fun this past Labor Day when they attended a party dressed up as Prince and Jimmy Hendrix. DeAndre just nailed the Hendrix look. Seriously he looks just like the great rock star. Barnes, well, sort of, kind of looks like Prince. Welcome to the NBA […]

I get it. All pro-basketball players won’t ever be perfect. Not even Michael Jordan was perfect. But there’s missing the occasional shots, a turnover here and there or a blown defensive assignment, then there’s airballing two free throws… in a row!
