Friday evening the Los Angeles Lakers were battling the Golden State Warriors for a playoff spot. In the waning minutes of the game, All-Star guard Kobe Bryant goes down in a crumpled heap and tears his Achilles tendon. Done for the season. Done for the next 6 – 8 months. Done are the Lakers hopes [...]
The dunk contest was this past weekend. I watched it because I want to see some of the dunks, but I still couldn’t tell you every competitor that was in it. In fact, I think the winner was someone named Terrance Ross. I know..who? […]
Lebron James is doing it again. He is re-writing history before our very eyes and making it look easy. The guy is smack dab in the middle of his prime. He is playing the best basketball he probably will ever play and we need to notice this. If you are a basketball fan, you need [...]
Lebron James is playing in his third NBA finals and this go-round has been a little bit better for him statistically. I live in Ohio, so most of the basketball fans in this state can’t stand him, but might acknowledge that he is a great basketball player. I’m here to make the case that he could [...]
If you are a basketball fan, you probably know that Metta World Peace just came off of a 7 game suspension for elbowing James Harden to kingdom come.

If you haven’t heard of Jeremy Lin, the New York Knicks point guard, by now, you are probably not a sports fan. Jeremy Lin is the former Harvard basketball player, cut by 2 teams and almost a third, and has become this phenomenon like we have never seen in sports before over the span of [...]
We are in full swing with the shortened NBA season and you are starting to see a repeat of what happened early on in the NFL season, with a lack of injury prevention programs due to the lockout you get a rash of injuries. In August, I wrote about how I thought NFL injuries would [...]
In the NBA this past week, the Chris Paul trade to the Los Angeles Clippers was one of the top stories. I wasn’t particularly too happy about the trade because I’m a Lakers fan. Not that I wanted Paul to be a Laker, but the botched trade to the Lakers spiraled some dumb decisions by [...]
Being one of the few NBA lovers I know, I was pretty excited to hear that they were ending the lockout and starting the NBA season on Christmas Day. A lot of people I know could care less about the NBA, or they just don’t follow it until the playoffs begin. Me, I love watching [...]
