March 24, 2011 – Joshua Sexton It seems as though sports fans are always hasty to dismiss proven champions. I have fallen victim to this perilous habit as well. Defending champions are either too old, their previous championships were flukes of some kind or other teams seem primed to knock them off their pedestal. Last [...]

January 28, 2011 – Joshua Sexton Unfortunately, there is no football this weekend. Unless you are one of the few people who enjoy watching the Pro Bowl. While next weekend’s match-up between the Steelers and Packers is on many sports fan’s minds, there are two can’t miss NBA games taking place on Sunday. ABC is [...]

January 25, 2011 – Joshua Sexton At the halfway mark of the NBA season, all of the teams who were expected to be at the top of the standings are right where they were expected to be. In the Eastern Conference, the Celtics, Heat, Bulls and Magic occupy the top four spots. In the Western [...]

January 7, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors Shaquille O’Neal appeared on David Letterman’s late-night talk show last night. The always comedic O’Neal is even funnier when paired with a comic genius like Letterman. I loved this part when Shaq talked about how he found his house in Boston (video after the jump): “I live in [...]

November 16, 2010 – Nicholas Cicchetti The bus is your standard Greyhound charter style. Plush seats wrapped in patterns you see on airport carpets stacked side by side 13 rows deep. This touring behemoth isn’t carrying field trippers or a Triple-A ball club, this vehicle’s contents are the sacred group of all time great Boston [...]

November 7, 2010 – Allen Moll As a member of the Boston Celtics’ now legendary “Big 3“ tandem of superstars including Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, sharpshooter Ray Allen has relished in his role as the reserved and composed, slightly “more normal” distinguished member of the green and white. That’s not exactly hard to do [...]

September 3, 2010 – Dr. Anklesnap Just over a week ago we told you about the rumor that Shaquille O’Neal got engaged to his new girlfriend Nikki ‘Hoopz’ Alexander. Well it looks like he is on the prowl for wedding tips, because the big fella recently crashed a wedding in Boston at the Four Seasons [...]

August 31, 2010 – Dr. Anklesnap Whenever Shaquille O’Neal signs with a new team (which is more and more frequent these days) he likes to make a splash when he shows up for work. Although a bit more low key than we are used to seeing the diesel (maybe because of his apparent engagement), it [...]

June 24, 2010 – Dr. Anklesnap After a lot of speculation this past week leading up to the NBA Draft and the summer free agency period, NBA veteran Rasheed Wallace has officially decided to retire from the NBA.
