September 7, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious So it’s FINALLY here! Tonight is the Season 5 premiere episode of HBO’s Entourage. Doesn’t it feel like forever since the last episode of Season 4 when ‘Medellin’ bombed at the Cannes film festival, or when Johnny Drama found his dream girl and took her “to the beach”. Literally. [...]

September 5, 2008 – Dr. Dime I’ve always known Canadian player Steve Nash, the point guard of the Phoenix Suns, to be one of the ‘good guys’ of the NBA. He is an ambassador for hard working, over-achieving players across the globe who have a dream and won’t give up reaching for it. He’s a [...]

September 4, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap The past couple weeks The Hoop Doctors have been monitoring the NESW Sports website for their recent surge of posting Michael Jordan video clips and commercials that we consider to be classics.

August 29, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap He was the only player to average a double double in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. He was the 2008 Olympic leader in blocks. He was the 2008 Olympic leader in rebounds. No, we are not talking about USA’s Dwight Howard here, it’s the Iranian national team Center [...]

August 26, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Watching the USA redeem team win gold this weekend was amazing and eye-opening at the same time. Everyone knew that Team USA was still the team to beat, and that is probably what fueled the collective gasp across the USA as Spain pulled within striking distance several times throughout [...]

August 25, 2008 – Dr. Dime The self-proclaimed “Starbury” of the NBA, Stephon Marbury, is upset about not being paid his fair share of the pie in the Starbury movement to provide basketball shoes to kids at an affordable cost.
