You probably noticed how Blake Griffin is willing to promote everything. From cars, video game outlets, sandwiches, and Foot Locker, there isn't much Blake won't put his face on and endorse. But what is fueling Blake to do all of this? Well, "The Endorser" machine that's what! Check out this funny Foot Locker commercial featuring […]

The NBA released their schedule Tuesday afternoon and unsurprisingly, all 30 teams will play 82 games. All will also play back to backs. Past that, it's all about the national TV schedule, which features a ton of the World Champion Miami Heat and both teams from Los Angeles. The Lakers will be on ABC, ESPN […]

Kobe Bryant is doing great. Really great, in fact, for a guy who blew out his Achilles tendon. The injury that has kept most guys out for at least nine months (and ruined more than a few careers), seems to be going a little differently for Bryant. “The surgical procedure was different […] and because […]

Boy, we are really milking these NBA players getting dunked on posts. I guess that is why this is August. Larry Sanders is used to being near posterization with the way he protects the rim. Sanders emerged as a strong rim protector last season witht he Bucks. He averaged 2.8 blocks per game last year […]

Usually, it is Clippers' Blake Griffin doing the posterizing but the tables were reversed at a recent Jordan sneakers release party. Blake will be wearing the Super Fly 2 kicks next season and while at the launch party, he was a good sport and let a 5'10" street-baller (Young Hollywood) jump all over him and […]

The Pistons certainly made a big splash this offseason in signing Josh Smith and then moving on to acquire Brandon Jennings. Detroit seems poised to make a run for the Eastern Conference playoffs next season with the talent it has collected and the promise of young stars like Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond still developing […]

Eurobasket 2013 is not for another month but that does not mean the intensity isn't there among teams during exhibition play. Take Suns' Goran Dragic (who is playing for Slovenia) and Team Turkey in a recent exhibition game. Dragic was driving in for a layup when a Turkish player popped him with a hard foul. […]

I know, I know… it's Monday. Back to the toil, back to the grind and the weekend is another five days away. So perhaps right now you need a nice laugh to get you through the Monday-blues. Here are some bloopers from the past season to give you a nice chuckle or two including Kevin […]

The Dallas Mavericks failed in their bid to get a big-name free agent these past two summers. Mark Cuban had big plans and broke up his championship team from 2011 in order to get there. He cleared cap room and hoped to bring in both Deron Williams (a Dallas high school star) and Dwight Howard […]

Former top overall pick Greg Oden will be joining the Miami Heat next season as he attempts to come back from his debilitating knee injuries that have forced him to the sideline for much of his career and have kept him out of the NBA since 2010. In Oden, the Heat get a big center […]

Major League Baseball has been embroiled in steroid scandal for the better part of a decade now. It has come to a head with MLB aggressively pursuing suspensions on former MVPs Ryan Braun (he accepted a plea deal) and Alex Rodriguez (he might be facing a lifetime ban if he does not accept a deal). […]

Slow and steady. That has been the Philadelphia 76ers approach to everything-basketball since Sam Hinkie took over as new team president and general manager and it doesn’t appear that turtle-like strategy will change anytime soon. Back in May after coming over from the Houston Rockets, Hinkie said he was, “just trying to use information to […]

So Wizards' John Wall just got paid (80 million extension)… a lot. And now the future of the franchise weighs on his shoulders so it be best for him to be in the gym, working on his game, staying in shape and ensuring he is raring to go next season. Oh and speaking of Wall […]

Fans are still getting used to the idea of the New Orleans Pelicans. The name still needs to be sold and reality still needs to set in for this name to really take. A new jersey should help: There you have it. They are… jerseys. That is about the only adjective that can describe the […]

The NBA lockout in 2011 showed a lot of warts from within the Players Union. Change had to come. In-fighting between several union members led by Union president Derek Fisher and executive director Billy Hunter showed a union that got a collective bargaining agreement they could live with but not one they were too thrilled […]
