It has been twenty years since Charles Barkley so infamously and accurately declared, “I am not a role model”.  Now Gilbert Arenas is the latest professional athlete to demonstrate beyond any doubt that he is, in fact, not a role model.  By pulling a gun on a teammate over an alleged gambling debt, Arenas has [...]

As you may know, the Chicago Bulls took Derrick Rose with the first pick in this year’s NBA Draft. Chicago has an obvious need for a scoring big man, but their guard play has been inconsistent as well. Kirk Hinrich struggled severely last year and looks to be possible trade bait. Ben Gordon, although a [...]

It is rather obvious why a NBA team picks first. No contending team ever will sink that far. The question is does the number one pick really guarantee a superstar or even the best player in the draft.
Lebron James, Dwight Howard, Patrick Ewing and James Worthy, as well as Hakeem Olajuwon, are obvious highlights [...]

A couple friends of mine are staunch Celtics fans (Royce and Scott), and another friend of mine (Chris) is a Lakers devotee. This inspired Chris to make the following wager:
With Lakers-Celtics set to tip off today, it’s important to get our wagers in order.
Scotty and I have agreed already. If the [...]

I wished I lived in Cleveland, Ohio for no other reason than $0.23 large one topping pizzas on Thursday, May 8th.
Apparently, Papa John’s, a popular pizza chain, distributed T-shirts that featured the number 23 and the word crybaby under it. The dig was towards LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. It seems that James [...]

I do not think there has been a season in the NBA where a conference was as wild as it was this year in the West. The entire season teams were moving up and down the standings. Luckily for us, the regular season has ended, and the “real” season has begun. [...]

The NBA’s playoffs are about to begin, and in the junior league, known as the Eastern Conference, the seedings are all set. So that means it is time for TK to put the turban on and try his swammy routine.
No. 1 Boston will face No. 8 Atlanta – Boston wins in 5 games

No. 2 [...]

I heard two very interesting statistics this week that I thought were worth repeating:

The Red Sox opened the season by playing in three different countries in the first two weeks (Japan, U.S., and Canada)
Of the 60 seasons that the Lakers (first in Minneapolis and then Los Angeles) have been in the NBA,  they have qualified [...]

I was watching the mighty Davidson team beat up an over-hyped Wisconsin team when I was amazed to see that Lebron James was in the crowd at the game. I read after the game that King James had actually called Davidson to request tickets so he could come see Stephen Curry. Besides [...]
