Why LeBron won’t repeat as MVP
Why LeBron won’t repeat as MVP...
Carmelo Anthony and Dirk Novitzki have obviously lost weight. Steve Nash has gained a little nastiness and a chip on his shoulder. Chris Bosh looks like he’s on his way to the contract year to end all contract years. And perhaps most importantly, Kobe Bryant studied post moves directly from the...

The Jets were clearly interested in getting Michael Crabtree, and Eugene Parker probably told them it was a possibility this year. The fact that either party believed the other shows how idiotic both are (and shows why the Jets will probably fade after a hot start for the second season in a row), but...

Enter the 36 Chambers: The Lego Version...
Some of you don’t know this about me, but I am a ridiculous, die-hard, obsessive fan of the Wu-Tang Clan. Put it this way: I’m one of the few who’s still holding out hope that Raekwon will someday put out that “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II” album we’ve been hearing about...

Pablo Sandoval loses final All-Star vote to Shane Victorino
Pablo Sandoval loses final All-Star vote...
If you cared enough to vote, you probably know by now that Shane Victorino piggy-backed the overwhelming celebrity of Brandon Inge en route to a win in the “Final Vote” All-Star thing over Pablo Sandoval. What, you’re surprised? Everyone knows the Bay Area cannot, will not, win anything...

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...

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...
