July 14th, 2008 – Dr. Dime Today I’ve been thinking about Stephon Marbury. Don’t ask me why, I have a pretty sick mind I guess. I’m far from an old timer as I can still ball with the best of them at the local Y, but I’m also long enough in the tooth to remember [...]

July 7th, 2008 – Dr. J-Water As I was reading the news this morning of the first Hurricane of 2008 (Hurricane Bertha) brewing and nearing land in the Caribbean Islands of St. Martin and St. Kitts, I couldn’t help but start thinking once again about how quickly the New Orleans Hornets have risen from NBA [...]

July 5th, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious It is with a heavy heart that once again we have to read about a pro-athlete whose life went spiraling downwards due to his off-the-field behavior, eventually ending in his early demise.

July 4th, 2008 – Dr. Dime Is it just me, or are the Golden State Warriors starting to offer huge contracts to just about anyone with a recognizable name to NBA fans.
