Just last week on one of my favorite basketball podcasts, NBA After Dark, the Grantland co-hosts brought up media coverage of NBA injuries and the spectacle of mourning for wounded players. The discussion centered around DeMar DeRozan and the torn tendon in his groin — an injury that will keep him out for about a month — and how […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are the bottom dwellers of the NBA. They have the NBA’s worst record (2-22). They are currently on a four game losing streak. The 76ers are really struggling to score as they are the worst offensive team in the league averaging 91.3 points per game. While they have massive offensive woes, they aren’t much better […]

McRoberts, signed for four years and $23 million after a career year in Charlotte with the then-Bobcats, struggled to get into the lineup early this season due to nagging foot, back […]

2K is a great company and now one that people will really connect with as they’ve done something incredibly awesome. They’ve made former Baylor standout Isaiah Austin a playable character in their newest game — 2K15. http://instagram.com/p/wrxrDxH6lK/?utm_source=partner&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=video&modal=true Back in June, mere days before the NBA Draft, it was announced that NBA hopeful Isaiah Austin’s basketball […]

Many people know Liam Neeson from his role in Taken and being a general bad-ass in almost every movie he’s been in since 2008 (when Taken was first released). Well, ESPN took advantage of that and paired him up with a rising star in his own right, John Wall in one of their promotions for […]

Religion and sports go hand and hand, no matter how many people try to keep them separate. But they usually don’t come together in the way Evan Turner brought them together after the Celtics’ 105-87 win over the Sixers on Monday night.

Oladipo is not a traditional lead guard, and as a rookie surrounded by an uninspiring roster, the former Hoosier […]

But all the sand had reached the […]
