Video: Michael Jordan’s “Last Shot” x NBA 2K10

The only man alive who can possibly feel Byron Russell’s pain would be Bill Buckner. He’s one of the few others I can think of who will never live down his one not-so-shining moment in sports history, having been maligned and defined by it. But hell, I’m of the understanding that Bostonians...

LBJ06

Come next NBA season, everything that says LBJ23 in your closet will either be collector’s memorabilia or lawn worker’s gear because LeBron is changing his jersey number to #6 to honor Michael Jordan.

Today’s Headline: “C-Murder Cannot Afford Appeal For Murder Case”

For over a decade, I watched my grandfather & then my father spend incessantly on my aunt Jean, now the former junkie. Court costs. Giving her money for “food” (you know where that went). Paying her rent. Paying in pain when they would hear of the latest stunt she’d pulled in...

The Original #24

Behind Michael Jordan, Ken Griffey Jr. likely ranks as my favorite athlete of the 1990’s. For good reason, too. The Braves were/still are my favorite team, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find myself pulling for the Mariners back when they had Randy Johnson (with the mullet), a...

“I Had The Black Delta Force, Blue In The Front…”

“Back when Jordan was flyin’ and Ewing could dunk” - Lloyd Banks Yeah, back when Ewing could still dunk and not simply get dunked on. Trying to find a “positive” rap lyric about Ewing was the equivalent of discovering a four-leaf clover. But it did cause me to start thinking...

Today’s Headline - “Where Wallace At, String?”

Videogum FTW, simply by asking “Where Wallace At, String?” I’m a sucker for anything related to The Wire. I always get emails from artists, promotions, marketing etc. asking how they can get their stuff featured on TSS.

Marcus Jordan Won’t Wear Your Stinkin’ Adidas

They could not have possibly believed this kid was going to wear anything but Jordan or Nike. But they recruited him anyway (and probably lied assured him he could wear whatever he chose) and now they have a stink brewing at the University of Central Florida, as young Marcus Jordan will not take the...

Chamillionaire To Michael Jordan: “You’s A B*tch!”

Well, not really. As we all know, Koopa isn’t the one for curse words or to talk greasy for that matter, but you can see the frustration as he’s recounting the time his Royal Airness made him feel like a groupie over a simple request. 15 G’s!?!? For real? What was that, snow bunny...

Coming Attractions: Air Jordan 2010 (XXV)

Video: Roger Federer Between The Legs Shot FTW

Outside of Venus, Serena and Anna Kournikova I don’t know much of anything about tennis. But one thing I do know is this video is just silly. And, I remember seeing a discussion on SportsCenter earlier this year about if Roger Federer was the Michael Jordan of tennis.

I Still Hate Michael Jordan (The Hall Of Fame Edition)

I hated Michael Jordan growing up. That baldheaded jerk with his tongue out made me cringe when he stepped on the court. And like many fans of NBA teams other than Jordan’s Chicago Bulls, it was hard to argue why your team was better. From Barkley to Malone to Ewing to Reggie Miller, all these...
