Wait, was that Dave Chappelle over there?
Wait, was that Dave Chappelle over there...
OK, so I don’t have any confirmation, but I’m about 98% sure I saw Dave Chappelle at around 6:15 yesterday evening. I was leaving work (I work on Market St, between 3rd and 4th), and sitting in front of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, drinking a coffee and smoking a cig, was a dude who looked...

Cha, stoney quality start brah!...
One of the main cliches of the past couple decades has been that 80% of NBA players are stoners. Could be true. Wouldn’t really surprise any of us, I’d imagine. But this Tim Lincecum should shed light on the group of athletes who either rival or surpass Michael Beasley in toking terms: MLB...

NBA Tuesday: BASG off-season power poll
NBA Tuesday: BASG off-season power poll...
If the start of this NBA off-season has shown us anything, it’s that the split between the elite teams and the schedule-fillers is swelling. Actually, the NBA is on the verge of moving further from parity than at any time since the 1997/98 season, when four teams (Bulls, Jazz, Sonics and Lakers)...

Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…What am I missing here?

I don’t know why I like mock drafts so much. Their usefulness and/or accuracy usually get squashed by the time the draft starts, if not before. Especially in the NBA, where the general managers aren’t afraid to make trades based on a whim (or a friendly relationship with another GM they used...

Shaq dealt, is Nash next?
Shaq dealt, is Nash next?...
I can’t wait for the NBA Draft, because I want to see if it can possibly measure up to the preamble. David Stern gets his dream trade, as Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron James will be teammates next season. The big question isn’t if Shaq will get his chance to give Kobe Bryant a final “How’s...

Yeah, I know. I’m going out on a major limb here with that headline, but rest assured the NBA Finals prediction you so eagerly await will be at the bottom of this post. Feel free to check it out if you want. I won’t be offended. But for those with a little bit of patience, get ready for a...

Of the four NBA teams I saw in person this year, the Orlando Magic were by far the best. Sure, two of those teams were the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Mascot Thieves, but I also saw the Cleveland Cavaliers win that buzzer beater at Oracle in Monta Ellis’ first comeback game. The Cavaliers’...

Did Kobe finally learn his lesson?
Did Kobe finally learn his lesson?...
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for Kobe Bryant last night that meant passing. In his postgame interview with ESPN’s Doris Burke (who’s so good at her job as a sideline reporter that it’s unsettling, both for the viewer and Phil Jackson, who’s used to treating...

David Stern probably woke up at 4 am this morning in a cold sweat. Nike is rapidly putting together a Carmelo Anthony puppet and debating whether a Hedo Turkoglu doll would scare children. Mike Breen just asked himself, “If nobody’s even watching the games, do I really need to wear my toupee?” We’re...

Before you start paying too much attention to what the Los Angeles Lakers did against the short-handed Houston Rockets, ask yourself two questions:
