December 14, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors I think we can all agree that at some point in the last few months, and specifically the last few weeks for Lakers and Clippers fans, we have wanted to say two short but impactful words to Commissioner David Stern. Let this t-shirt do the talking… [...]

October 11, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors After the record-breaking season the NBA enjoyed last year, it now seems like a distant memory. After roughly 13 hours of negotiations over two days failed to close what he termed a significant gulf “on virtually all issues,” NBA commissioner David Stern cancelled the first two weeks of [...]
