When I came across this picture of Air Jordan jamming in his NC college dorm while wasting time on imgur earlier, my buddy who’s been a diehard MJ fan since the womb said he’d seen it before. I had not and found the nostalgia quite cool. Read the rest of this entry »

Michael Jordan was found hanging out in my in-laws’ basement. With the NBA lockout and everyone involved having inordinate amounts of free time available, I’m sure stranger things have happened but finding the Bobcats owner chilling downstairs was unexpected to say the least.

Video games really aren’t my expertise. Yet, if this NBA lockout continues, I may have to scrap together some pennies and cop NBA 2K12 pending it gets Cadet’s approval. Per the marketing department, the 2K family rallies together some familiar and not-so-familiar faces to debate the greatest team of all time in this 35 second clip. Read the rest of this entry »

NBA 2K11 is easily one of the very best sports games to ever grace a gaming console. The realism was off the charts and the “Jordan Challenge” was a great addition. It’s got to be a daunting task to follow up the video game equivalent of Illmatic, but the Visual Concepts people are sure giving it a shot with NBA 2K12. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, the NBA Lockout’s outlook doesn’t bode well for us basketball nerds but at least we can still turn to digital hoops while these fools toil the season away. 2K Sports, undaunted by the league’s troubles, plans to keep things rolling through rain or shine with NBA 2K12.

While it’s unclear if this move is a testament to their greatness or testament to the lack of living legends in today’s NBA, the fine folks over at 2K Sports opt to go with faces that people trust and slap Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird as the visual selling points for the next installment of NBA 2K.

The year was 1988. Gas was 91 cents per gallon. Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Rain Man and Die Hard were commanding box offices. And there were trade talks which would have sent Michael Jordan to the Los Angeles Clippers. Yes, you read that right. Read the rest of this entry »

Words By David D. & Justin Tinsley

Thank God Scottie Pippen is an idiot. Thanks to Scottie’s stupidity (which was clearly a result of the concussion he suffered at the hands of a gang of midgets) which led him to call LeBron better than Michael, we’ve started reminiscing on just how spectacular Jordan’s career was.

“Michael Jordan is probably the greatest scorer to ever play in the game. But I may go as far to say Lebron James may be the the greatest player to ever play the game…” – Scottie Pippen

When people make outrageous comments like this, my first reaction is to look at what possible motivation or bias may be present to cause the statements. Read the rest of this entry »

“If you ain’t first, you’re last.”

As a fan, we watch each game of the NBA playoffs with knowledge that we potentially have a front row seat to history. Last night was just that.

For the last five years or so, I’ve been living the life of a vagabond, going from city to city in search of a big break or with halfway going to school. At every stop it seems like I land smack-dab in the middle of a crazy sporting event my new city rallies behind for good or bad. As the NBA playoffs are about to begin, I’m reminded of these insane moments that I was able to at least partially be a part of and witness. Read the rest of this entry »
