January 6, 2011 – Kevin Burke Until LeBron made his decision to head to South Florida, Kobe Bryant was clearly the most hated guy in the league. Now, he’s runner up.  He’s behind LeBron, but is still plenty hated. Both hated and disrespected, actually. By now, you’ve heard the comments that Lakers coach, Phil Jackson [...]

October 15, 2010 – Kevin Burke Sorry to beat this whole LeBron thing to death, but it just took an interesting turn. One that it hasn’t taken before and is something that I think is noteworthy enough to point out and discuss. Since LeBron elected to head to Miami, naturally he’s experienced a whirlwind of [...]

October 12, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol It’s unfortunate that Fernandez will have to pay for comments his agent made, but players have to realize even their representation is a reflection of their position on matters… Trail Blazers swingman Rudy Fernandez has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for comments his European agent made last [...]

September 27, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Could this be just trash talk, or is McGrady really finally back to full health and fitness and ready to regain the form of the lethal scorer we once knew and loved…. Even at age 31, time was beginning to run out for Tracy McGrady. After two seasons [...]

September 14, 2010 – Kevin Burke Back for it’s 3rd season, the award-winning Gatorade REPLAY stages re-matches of classic games between some the nation’s best high school sports teams and gives former teammates the chance to prove once you’re an athlete, you’re always an athlete. This year, it reunited two South Side Chicago high school [...]

September 2, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Maybe after these Kobe comments the bromance between Kobe Bryant and Lebron James will come to a close? Fisher was sharp with some follow-up questions and got Bryant to talk about how he, personally, would not have done what LeBron James did in leaving Cleveland. Some have observed [...]

August 31, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Artest seemingly took issue with Celtics coach Doc Rivers‘ contention that the Celtics have never had the opportunity to defend the 2007-08 title with the same core group at full health, noting that the Lakers have been without Andrew Bynum in their title runs. “Boston lost to lakers [...]

August 26, 2010 – R.S. De France In a recent interview with John Thompson on ESPN 360, Boston Celtics Coach Doc Rivers made himself sound ridiculous speaking of the 2010 NBA Finals, and even made me think about a new way to characterize the Boston Celtics’ 2008 Championship. “They [the Los Angeles Lakers] still have [...]

July 29, 2010 – Kevin Burke Why is everyone so bitter these days? Well, I guess if one of my star players left my squad via free agency, I might be a little upset too. But I’d get over it though. First LeBron James gets called out by his former owner, Dan Gilbert, who accused James [...]

March 2, 2009 – Dr. J-Water Shaquille O’Neal’s post-game comments after yesterday’s win against the Los Angeles Lakers reminded me of the opening lyrics to LL Cool J’s most well known song “Mama Said Knock You Out”. For those of you who don’t follow hip-hop music all that closely, i’m referring to the opening line [...]
