The beautiful game quickly goes sour when there’s no suspense on the pitch. FIFA Street (PS3, Xbox 360) aims to provide a more consistently exhilarating take on the world’s game by pitting you with the sport’s best players in snazzy locales. Read the rest of this entry »

Jersey looked like they’d receive another whupping until this Deron Williams – Gerald Green connection shifted momentum their way. The play galvanized the squad, who stood 19 down at one point, and led to victory over Mark Jackson’s Warriors 102 to 100. Twenty was the theme for the night. Three players not named Deron, Kris KardaHumphries, Gerald Wallace and Gerald Green, dropped at least 20 points while Deron turned John Stockton on G-State with 20 dimes. Nets fans don’t have much room to complain over how they win since they rarely show up in the W column. I’ll still gladly take team dubs like this with great defensive composure down the stretch over 57-point barrages on bums.

Also, I’m pretty sure Gerald stared down Brandon Rush after Green disgraced Rush’s family. The refs either let it go or simply missed one of their favorite flavors of techs when Mark Jackson called timeout. I’m inclined to think the latter since David’s kids were raised to be tattle-tales. Nevertheless, good on them for keeping their whistles in their pockets.

Quincy Jones concocted his fair share of hits and classics over his incredible career. However his greatest creations came in tandem with ex-wife Peggy Lipton. I’m talking about Kidada and Rashida Jones people! Read the rest of this entry »

Ask a sample of basketball fans who they think will win it all this year and you’ll hear the usual suspects like OKC, Chicago and the South Beach Grill. No one outside Dallas thinks the Mavs will repeat and the Lake Show, while playing better ball as of late, are another long shot. That can’t be it, right? Read the rest of this entry »

Walk into any game store and you’ll see a rack of titles letting adults go pew-pew to their hearts content. Far Cry 3 aspires to elevate the “Don’t mind me, I’m just a regular guy …What’s this, a hand gun? OH MY GOD I’M A KILLING MACHINE!!” archetype seen from games like the Uncharted series to the next level. Read the rest of this entry »

Gilbert Arenas, the point guard with a funny name and a flair for the funnies, had an electric run as a premiere scorer. Injuries, that gun mishap and Shaq supposedly smanging his ex-girl turned “Basketball Wife” led to his rapid decline. Read the rest of this entry »

The NBA’s supposedly cleaned up image may please David Stern and his constituents. Nevertheless, this basketball fan is really tired of the faux-family friendly approach that’s hit the league for more than a few years. E-high fives all around if you’re with me. Read the rest of this entry »

New Jersey Nets 101, Los Angeles Clippers 100

The Nets are one of the few NBA teams who practically play every game on the road. Last night’s game against Lob City in Newark didn’t bunk the trend in the slightest. Read the rest of this entry »

Many a team gets made or broken by the trade deadline. It’s also at this time where cubicle GMs nationwide bide their time at the 9 to 5 with ESPN’s NBA Trade Machine. We all think we know better than the front offices of our beloved franchises and the trade simulator is the closest thing Read the rest of this entry »

Let’s flashback two weeks and change. Madonna held the stage for the Super Bowl, but I couldn’t bear being an audience to that mess. So I dove into laptop and threw on The Jeff Lorber Fusion’s “Rain Dance.” Why? Read the rest of this entry »

Any basketball fan will tell you inbound plays can lead to wildest finishes. The theory was proven true last night when Chris Paul’s turnover gave the Spurs a golden opportunity to extend the game. Read the rest of this entry »

Russell Westbrook isn’t the “ideal” point guard many prefer seeing. I’m pretty sure he couldn’t care less as long as he can scrape the ceiling before barely planting his feet. Forget calling this liftoff against the Kings last night “impressive.” It’s one of those dunks which reminds you life just isn’t fair. Read the rest of this entry »

Funny how a simple game of football can transform downtown Manhattan and the Meadowlands into a ruckus party zone. Good times were the M.O. yesterday thanks to the NY Giants organization and the Big Blue faithful, myself included of course, turning what would’ve been another boring Tuesday into an unforgettable event.

I recently had a case of the random nostalgia; you know, when you look up random stuff that wowed you before you became a cynical bastard. My latest fix had me looking up The Pharcyde’s music video for “Drop.” Read the rest of this entry »

Ms. “Champagne” King is best known for singing about shame and how some fellow made her love come down. Those staples are fine by me but my toes get to tappin’ whenever “I’m In Love” hits the ‘ol Victrola. Blame the bass line because Read the rest of this entry »
