Things aren’t always what they seem. Jim Buss is criticized to no end for the job he’s done with the Los Angeles Lakers, his greatest flaw seemingly being that he’s not his father, Dr. Jerry Buss.

Jason Terry has developed into a veteran NBA journeyman, and no matter what team he’s on, he’s all in. Look at what he did when the Celtics signed him. He got the team logo tattooed on his arm, only to be traded a year later. Now that he’s a member of the Nets, he has [...]

Last week it was reported that LeBron James would serve as executive producer of a new television show. When the lines sport and entertainment so blurred, I guess this isn’t such a big deal.
