January 28, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap I’ve been reading some really excellent player posts lately titled “The Evolution of…X”, with X being a player’s name. Two recent examples that come to mind are this Lebron James piece over on BallerBlogger, and this Andrew Bynum piece over at Empty the Bench. After watching last night’s game [...]

January 26, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap I’m not afraid to say it….i’m on the Stephen Curry bandwagon. I can’t wait till he gets to the league to prove all of his detractors wrong at how well he’ll be able to adapt to the NBA game. Personally, i’m on the opposite end of the spectrum with [...]

January 22, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap A few weeks ago Lebron James got called for traveling. He was fuming about it, and his explanation was that it wasn’t truly a travel, instead it was what he calls a ‘crab dribble’. The NBA and their officials decided that the ‘crab dribble’ in and of itself is [...]

January 22, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap Aight people, I know there are some NBA Draft junkies out there! How do I know? Because it takes one to know one, and based on some of the reader comments on past posts and emails we’ve received it’s gotta be the truth! Let’s face it you guys know [...]

January 20, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap Since 1991 there has been an NBA ban on courtside advertising of liquor brands. Why you ask? Hell, I guess for the same reason some states ban advertising of cigarettes and prescription drugs….whoever enacted the rule wanted to avoid the widespread unnecessary use of a product that can cause [...]

January 17, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap I’d have to say that if The Hoop Doctors did a review of all of our “Video of the Day” posts from this season there must be at least 25% of them that have had Lebron James as the subject. But hey, I think even Dominique Wilkins would have [...]

January 17, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap After reading this Yahoo article this morning covering the recent comments by Pat Riley and the Miami Heat about their interest in the Toronto Raptors Center Jermaine O’Neal I was in a state of shock. The Heat is considering sending the versatile Shawn Marion for J.O.? What is Pat [...]

January 14, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap It’s certainly a sensitive time right now in the New York Knicks camp after the news story went viral on the web that one of their centers, Eddy Curry, has been accused of gay sexual harrassment by his personal chauffeur. But regardless of how the story unfolds through the [...]

January 9, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap After reading this post this morning where a reference is made to Baron Davis being thought to look like Cutty from HBO’s “The Wire”, it got me thinking about other NBA players that sort of look like characters from the hit show. Then I realized there are quite a [...]

January 6, 2009 – Dr. Anklesnap Just days after Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Boston Celtics, a video of the new Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) commercial was posted to the net. In the video, Mike Epps and DJ AM play against each other in a winner takes all game of [...]
