Spurs’ Tony Parker was recently in China to promote his new line of PEAK sneakers and while he was there, he really decided to immerse himself into the Chinese culture. How did he do that you might ask? Simple – he dressed up like a Chinese Dragon. You know, those costumes that take a few […]

You may not have noticed last year, but EA Sports’ NBA Live series did come back. Kyrie Irving was the cover athlete. It is OK if you did not notice. It was the first edition in NBA Live since the failed NBA Live 10 with Dwight Howard on the cover. The supposedly revolutionary NBA Elite […]

Ricky Rubio should be feeling pretty excited right now with the athletes coming onto what we can essentially call his team. The Spanish wunderkind too his sweet time getting to the United States, lighting up YouTube with great ball-handling and impressive passes.

Team USA had to make some cuts and unfortunately for Blazers’ Damian Lillard, he was on the chopping block. However, if you think Damian is completely devastated, think again. Although I am sure he would have liked to compete for the gold medal in Spain at the World Cup, Lillard is taking it in stride […]
