In honor of their 50 year anniversary, Gatorade has digitally re-mastered their most classic commercial ‘Be Like Mike’, starring Michael Jordan. They plan to release the latest version of the commercial this weekend during the All-Star festivities. We may see it live as early as tonight when the events kick off. Here is a sneak [...]

Now that All-Star Weekend is upon us and we will have a little extra down time with the NBA’s new “bye week” taking effect this week with no regular action from Feb. 12-20, I think this is an appropriate time to share some observations of the first 50 games of the season and what it [...]

What we all speculated is now official, George Karl will be the next head coach of the Sacramento Kings after agreeing to a four-year, $14.5 million contract, according to league sources. The Kings (18-34) have been struggling under the helm of interim head coach Tyrone Corbin, which somewhat proved to be an obvious indication that [...]

I wanted to both rhyme and write “heigh-ho,” so let’s just pretend. Anyway, the NBA is speeding toward its All-Star break, leaving a trail of injuries, playoff-seeding battles and [...]

Even the best fall down sometimes. On Wednesday night, the top-seeded Atlanta Hawks fell down to earth as they suffered a heart-breaking defeat to the Celtics with a final score of 89-88 and just their 11th loss of the season.
