As a player with the now infamous and ground breaking Fab Five freshmen at the University of Michigan and even throughout a very productive 14 year NBA career, Jalen Rose was not always the most popular player or teammate. But once he crossed over into the mainstream media following retirement as in 2007, he has [...]

Dwight Howard is the king of free throws. Blind free throws, that is. Superman challenged Houston Rockets teammate James Harden to a blind free-throw shooting contest according to a report from the Houston Chronicle and brought to us by ESPN.com. Howard apparently defeated Harden, hitting on 8-of-10 from the line with his eyes closed. “I [...]

A 37-year-old Kevin Garnett has still got it. Age won’t extinguish the competitive fire he has left, and it most certainly won’t deter him from being honest. That’s not how it was with the Minnesota Timberwolves, that’s not how it was with the Boston Celtics and that most certainly isn’t going to be how it [...]

No one tell Pau Gasol what the Los Angeles Lakers’ real plans (probably) are after this season. Why? Because I don’t want to hurt his feelings. According to the Los Angeles Times’ Mike Bresnahan, the fluffy-haired Spaniard would love the opportunity to re-sign with the Lakers this coming summer: “It’s nice to be here in [...]

With Earvin “Magic” Johnson making more headlines in his post-basketball career, this time for combating the dropout rate among high school students, it is a testament to his successes as a philanthropist, activist, and businessman he’s become.

I’m referring to former Cal State Fullerton standout Tim Trew McGrath, who has been a regular at [...]

Carmelo Anthony is, well, confusing. The New York Knicks forward has long been criticized for just about everything he does—shooting, defending, shooting, a lack of passing, shooting, his capacity to lead, shooting, his playoff record and shooting. I’ve personally never had a problem with his style of play. Should he pass out of double teams [...]

For the first time in what seems like an eternity, there’s been a sense of normalcy within the Knicks organization. What transpired under Isiah Thomas’ watch is a distant memory now and there’s no more musical chairs with the coaches. In fairness to Isiah however, D’Antoni wasn’t under his watch and he failed too. But [...]

Ummmmmmmm, ok then. Lots of things don’t make sense to me. Like how they get the little “m” on M&M’s. Or Dwyane Wade’s fashion choices. Or anything Metta World Peace has ever said. Then there’s the things that both make no sense and seem equally stupid. Like One Direction concerts. Or any decision the Charlotte [...]
