Front offices around the NBA most have some sort of filter on their email accounts preventing updates regarding throwback uniforms to get through. The update, of course, is that they went back out of style two, maybe three years ago. Yet, they’re still popping up in highlight reels at least once a week. Last night [...]
Texas freshman Kevin Durant has been named the NCAA player of the year after a spectacular season where he became a household name and cemented himself as a top-2 pick in the upcoming draft. With the announcement, Durant becomes the first freshman to win the award in its history after receiving 70 or a possible [...]
Nomar Garciaparra’s wife, Mia Hamm, delivered twins yesterday while Nomar was on a flight from spring training in Florida. Hamm is also a recognizable name in U.S. sports having played on the national soccer team prior to the pregnancy. One thing is for sure, Nomar isn’t going to get much sleep this season so try [...]
Well, actually it was kind of the opposite. At the McDonald’s All-American game Mayo, touted as ready-for-the-NBA by some scouts, shot a dastardly 4 for 17 from the floor. This only goes to prove that he could fit in perfectly with some of the lottery teams this year and only goes to discredit the horrible [...]
Yesterday, in a Venezuelan court, former MLB pitcher Ugueth Urbina was sentenced to 14 years in prison after being found guilty for the attempted murder of five workers at his family’s ranch. He was also found guilty of illegal deprivation of liberty and violating a prohibition against taking justice into his own hands. The incident [...]
‘Sheed hits best buzz-beater of year
In case you missed it the Denver Nuggets coughed up a game on a double-unbelievable play last night. Firstly, with very little time remaining and up by three, the Nuggets only had to inbound the ball to one of their own team to win the game; that didn’t happen. Next, [...]
In what seems like another one-sided trade towards their opponent’s end, the Buffalo Bills shipped off another one of their few stars yesterday. This time it is LB Takeo Spikes to the Philadelphia Eagles, along with back up QB Kelly Holcomb, for DT Darwin Walker and a second-day draft pick. It’s really starting to look [...]
Three out of four isn’t bad for a guy who isn’t as well versed in basketball as most other pundits. By other pundits, I am referring solely to my Intern who only correctly hit 2 out of the 4 final teams.
Next weekend’s game present some good, interesting match ups on both sides of the bracket. [...]
Kobe’s wild ride comes to an end
It feels pretty disappointing to see Kobe fall short of the 50-point plateau after watching him catch fire during the past 4 games. His 43 points on 15 for 33 shooting were good enough to give L.A. a two point win over the Golden State Warriors though. It is [...]
I never thought I would actually say that the consensus number 1 pick in this year’s NBA draft (Greg Oden) was better off being on the bench during last night’s 20 point come from behind victory against Tennessee. Oden, who got himself into foul trouble, something he does exceedingly well at, was on the bench [...]
