0 comments by

Longtime NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager is finally on the road to recovery after his long battle with leukemia and he is overwhelmed by the show of support.

Sager spoke with TNT’s Ernie Johnson on his battle with leukemia, including the first signs of something being wrong, how Spurs’ Gregg Popovich lent his support, Kevin Garnett’s support and his son’s willingness to save his father.

It’s a touching video enough for you to shed a tear or two.

Ok. Maybe more than two tears were shed during the watching of this fantastic video.

TV announcer forgets Oklahoma isn’t Texas during Blazers-Thunder game

0 comments by

Last time I checked the Thunder play in Oklahoma City and and not in Texas. But then again, this TV announcer totally must have skipped Geography 101 in school. During the Blazers-Thunder game, Damian Lillard nailed a clutch three pointer to send the game into overtime. The Thunder TV announcer got so hyped he exclaimed […]

Cleveland Cavalier center Anderson Varejao is believed to be out for the rest of the season after suffering an Achilles tendon tear. The injury came in a 125-104 win over the Timberwolves when he landed awkwardly on his ankle and couldn’t put any weight on his left leg. An MRI Wednesday morning revealed the tear […]

Divac nails half court shot for charity

0 comments by

He still has it. Former NBA player Vlade Divac was in his old stomping grounds in L.A. for a chance to win big bucks for charity. All he had to do was nail a half court shot (something he wasn’t known for in his playing days) and $90,000 was in the bank. Half court? No […]

Take it easy dudes!

During last night’s Thunder-Blazers game, Blazers power forward LaMarcus Aldridge and Thunder forward Serge Ibaka got tangled up below the rim which resulted in the two grabbing and pulling on each other and getting tossed from the game.

There were no punches thrown but it goes to show you, the West is stacked and with teams jostling for postseason positioning, every game counts and tensions will be high.

At the very least, some fines will be handed down by the league office I would imagine.

0 comments by on 12/23/2014

Ouch! NBA legend and former Jazz guard John Stockton was a guest on NBA Radio on Sirius XM and pretty much called out the current state of the league as being soft. Stockton points out the fact the league doesn’t let NBA players play tough defense, that almost every touch is an automatic whistle, and […]

‘Tis the season of giving and it would seem Iggy Azalea knows that real well. She got boyfriend and Laker guard Nick Young an incredible gift. She not only got him a car, but a 1962 Impala.   Yup.

LeBron James’ son can hoop!

0 comments by

As the saying goes, he’s a chip off the old block. LeBron James may be the most dominant player in the NBA but his son, LeBron James Jr., might be following in his footsteps one day in the league. At just 10 years old, Jr. has shown court vision, handles, pinpoint passing and all out […]

0 comments by on 12/22/2014

Usually it’s Kenneth Faried who puts opposing players on a poster, but this time he’s on the receiving end of a monster facial courtesy of Hornets forward Cody Zeller. Zeller was way out from the paint and had Faried one on one en route to the rim. Considering Zeller had the step on Faried, Zeller […]

Trade Ready: The Lance Stephenson Conundrum

The Charlotte Hornets appear to already be suffering from buyer’s remorse after signing Lance Stephenson to what looked like on the surface, at least, as a team-friendly deal worth $18 million over a span of two years (with Lance hitting the market again after the new TV deals kick in). But as of this moment, […]

Rondo’s Pricey Homecoming

The Boston Celtics are bound to stink worse than a middle school boy’s locker room now that Rajon Rondo is gone. With that pungent musk of pre-adolescent boy and Axe, ticket prices are expected to drop. Well, the city of Boston is always defying expectations. According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, the Boston Celtics will be […]
