Nate Schierholtz: My Giant...

I guess I’m a member of the media now, albeit not in the traditional sense. I don’t have locker room access, and I don’t spend my afternoons arguing inarguable points on round table talk shows just to create friction with some guy from the Rocky Mountain News (no weirdo, not THAT kind...

Everyone really trusts Larry Riley…...

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?...

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...

Could Shaq kick Chuck Liddell’s as...

Will all the physical skirmishes this week in the NBA Playoffs, you can’t blame Shaq for training in Mixed Martial Arts. That’s right, the most frightening physical presence in the NBA since Charles Oakley is in the gym as we speak, studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and talking of a post-NBA career...

NBA Tuesday: Warriors’ window gett...

Utah’s precipitous fall from title contenders to getting waxed in the first round was one thing, but it was another game last night that showed just how wide open the Western Conference might be next season: the New Orleans Hornets losing by 58 points to the Denver Nuggets. It was a home loss so...

LeBron James hit a half-court bank shot at the halftime buzzer on his way to a 38/8/7 performance in his first game. Kobe Bryant’s Game 1 didn’t include the same type of videogame statistics, but his thunderous dunk over Paul Millsap in the fourth quarter punctuated a Lakers win that was...

Does blogging burn calories? God, I hope...

There’s so many things to go over from this past weekend that my head is spinning. Or maybe it’s all the bacon-wrapped dates filled with manchego cheese I ate yesterday (thanks, Mom). Along with the copious amounts of ham I consumed during yesterday’s Easter lunch, I’d say over...

Best Week Ever? Yeah, Right...

As I sit here and wait to watch an afternoon full of rain delays at Mays Field on my television, I can’t help but wonder why everyone says this is the best sports week of the year. Sure, it’s nice that baseball’s back, but it’s painfully obvious that the NCAA Tournament has become...

For our NBA-related rap lyric of the week, we go back to the mid-1990′s and Gangstarr, featuring the best superstar-producer/monotone-rapper combo of all time. Now the following lyrics don’t really qualify as an in depth look at the NBA, although you can tell Guru knows his ball after listening...

NBA Tuesday: BASG Power Poll It’s time for another NBA Power Poll, but first here’s the NBA-related rap lyric of the week, courtesy of the RZA on “Stroke of Death” from Ghostface’s classic Supreme Clientele.
