The scuttlebutt’s that Amar’e is now calling Cici’s cooch home and has been for some time. Amazing considering that her p*ssy-popping skills might just break your flesh hammer and that’s before she gets on top. Read the rest of this entry »

This is not an optical illusion folks.

UNC alum Tyler Hansbrough went from being a top college player to yesterday’s news as soon as he donned a Pacers uni. Things didn’t look well for Larry Bird’s golden boy with his underwhelming play throughout his rookie and much of his sophomore year. Read the rest of this entry »

This is for the city of New York. This is for those who love the word “contraction” and hate those unfamiliar with its meaning. This is for all those who still have a bitter taste in their mouth because of “The Decision.” This is for those who simply do not like LeBron James. This is for those who despise Phil Knight, Nike and myself for having a vice grip on the Jordan Crawford footage from last summer. But more importantly, this is for the people of Cleveland.

Call me crazy but as I was playing the 2K11 demo I kept wondering how they screwed up the jerseys. It looked like they shaved a giant V in the front and back of the jerseys for some reason. I just assumed they had to skimp on some pixels here and there for facial ticks and what not, but I should’ve had more faith in the good people over 2K Sports. Adidas is unveiling their Revolution 30 jersey this year to coincide with the busy free agent migration this past summer and six teams who’ve totally revamped their uniforms.

While the verdict is still out on LeBron and D. Wade, Knicks fans can cross Chris Bosh off their wishlist as they no longer need him. He just so happens to play the same position as a certain Amar’e Stoudemire. A guy who just agreed to a five-year contract worth nearly $100 million dollars. Read the rest of this entry »

Brace yourself, there’s about to be a shootout in the cities of Los Angeles and Phoenix. The Lakers and Suns have met a total of 11 times in the playoffs with the Lakeshow winning seven. However, their last meeting in the first round of the 2006 playoffs is what is still etched in the minds of millions – most importantly Kobe Bryant.

After falling behind 3-1 in the series, Phoenix pulled off one of the greatest postseason comebacks in history by winning the next three games. Lakers fans haven’t forgotten that since. Nothing short of drama and nothing short of firepower, the present day match up is being billed as potentially the best series of the entire playoffs. With names like Gasol, Stoudamire, Nash and Bryant leading the charge, it very well could be. Read the rest of this entry »

On the surface, calling the San Antonio Spurs and Phoenix Suns history a “rivarly” may not be accurate. The Spurs have clipped the Suns four times in the past five seasons. But while it may not be a “rivalry” in the literal sense, bad blood most definitely remains.

Losing to a team multiple times over multiple years fosters and helps build that sense of resentment. The lasting image of Robert Horry shoulder-checking Steve Nash into the announcers table is one of the more memorable and infamous events in playoff history. The Suns also felt the aftershocks after Amare Stoudamire and Boris Diaw were suspended for attempting to come to the aid of their woozy leader. For kicks, let us not forget Bruce Bowen miraculously avoided suspension after kneeing Nash in the groin in Game 3 of that series. Read the rest of this entry »

A good defensive coach always tells their players: “If you’re going to foul the shooter, make sure they don’t make the shot.” Since Don Nelson is a top-tier chief, we’ll just assume Anthony Tolliver tends to snooze off in the fast-break drills. When going up against Amare Stoudemire, you better bring your hardhat Read the rest of this entry »

When you’re a professional athlete, there are particular plays that can rustle your ego and ultimately allow you to lose focus. Pitchers slide downhill after giving up a homer and, naturally, taking a hard hit in the NFL can take more than the wind out of you. But when you get boomed on like Amare Stoudemire does to Portland’s Dante Cunningham right here, your pride takes a “L,” along with the scoreboard.

But not so fast. He who dunks last, gets the poster. Read the rest of this entry »
