Not too long ago, this picture of a young, wide-eyed Kobe Bryant came across the computer screen and instantly threw my mind in a frenzy. An undoubted future first ballot Hall Of Famer and arguably greatest player of the generation, Bean’s career has seen so many peaks and valleys it’s often easy to forget the early years of his career.

Pic: NBA Offseason

“What a day. What a mothaf*ckin’ day.” - ‘Alonzo,’ “Training Day”

We’ll all remember December 8, 2011, as the day the NBA set the sports world and Twitter ablaze. Teams wheeled and dealed with some even making drastic improvements to their rosters, yet Chris Paul’s blockbuster trade to the Lakers was the most celebrated news of the day, as it should have been. Well, that was at least until David Stern cemented himself as the most hated non-pedophile in sports. Read the rest of this entry »

For all practical purposes, we will no longer be doing “NBA Lockout Reports.” It is with no regret that we inform you that the players and owners have reached a “tentative” agreement, after a Friday meeting crossed over into the waning hours of early Saturday morning. Read the rest of this entry »

I swear, just when I think I’m out, the NBA reels me back in. Y’all may have noticed that my Lockout updates have been a bit less frequent over the past few weeks. That’s been by design. I’ve been trying to take things as they come, instead of getting invested in every single twist-and-turn of this ridiculous process. Read the rest of this entry »

The NBA lockout situation worsens as the days go by. In the ongoing pissing match between owners and players, Commissioner David Stern dropped a new bomb today: Read the rest of this entry »

If there was ever a question which route David Stern would take with the NBA lockout – pad his legacy or fix the business model – it’s as clear as day now. After a marathon session of meetings today, Stern announced that the first two weeks of the NBA season are officially cancelled. Read the rest of this entry »

Ah, David Stern. What a champ. Even when things look dire, the man’s willing to raise the stakes. After meeting with the NBAPA on Wednesday, the NBA Commissioner said “I’m focused on let’s get the two committees in and see whether they can either have a season or not have a season, and that’s what’s at risk this weekend.” Read the rest of this entry »

Mr. Commissioner,

I know you’re as excited for the NBA offseason as anyone. Typically July and August are dead zones for the NBA as the sports world is focused on baseball, the NFL preseason and whatever US Weekly style floater ESPN can drum up about A-Rod or Tiger Woods. Not this year though. Nope, we’re in for two months of LeBron getting his attention-whore on as he makes every franchise genuflect before him in hopes of wooing him to their franchise. With D-Wade, Bosh, Amare and all the other marquee free agents up for grabs as well, the league’s going year round. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night, somewhere in a gold-plated 5th Avenue penthouse, David Stern was on his knees praying to His Holiness that Allen Iverson catches a bad hand, blows up and gets arrested at an Atlantic City casino directly before Valentine’s Day. Three-hundred miles away in Boston, Ray Allen was pulling out of some blonde bean pie in order to cuss out his flat-screen for delivering the following headline.

The Gilbert Arenas saga encapsulates so many different issues and contradictions present in American culture at the end of the decade. The original story, leaked by the New York Post, appears to have totally misconstrued what happened. Yet, the story ran anyway as timeliness took precedence over fact-checking. The Post never corrected their story and the image of two Black men threatening each with guns in a locker room is what stuck in people’s mind. Read the rest of this entry »
