The Stat Line of the Night — 5/23/10 — Amare Stoudemire
Amare Stoudemire is considered one of the best big men in the game, but his lack of focus has been roundly criticized for most of his career. Once in a while though, he silences the critics. Even though his defense is sorely lacking at times, he can make up for it with an amazing ability [...]

Picture Of The Day: Is That Four-And-A-Half Coach?
Memphis Grizzlies head coach, Lionel Hollins, calls out play five late in a game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, but his ring finger and pinkie fingers seem to prefer play three and a half. My reaction to it was much like the women to Matt Walker’s broken finger during last year’s hockey playoffs. [...]

The Stat Line of the Night – 2/23/10 – Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant has not played a basketball game since February 5th. That’s 18 days ago. After badly spraining his ankle before the All-Star break he was held out of play for 5 games on top of the All-Star game. A guy who hasn’t played in that long is sure to be rusty, right? Well Kobe [...]

Kobe Bryant Hits A Shot From Behind The Backboard
It is hard to believe that after all the acrobatic shots Kobe Bryant has made over the course of his career, he can still find ways to amaze us with his on-the-court antics. Last night at the Staples Center he was at it once again. How do you even defend this guy when he makes [...]

Marv Albert vs. 50 Cent Actually Almost Happened
This story definitely goes in the “last thing I would ever expect” category. Rappers feud with each other frequently, and even occasionally get in scuffles or full out wars. To have a rapper get into it with an old, white basketball announcer is extremely odd. As odd as the Devils shootout goal the other night? [...]

Kobe Bryant Has Finally Made It Big On Sesame Street
Total Pro Sports – How do you know when you’ve really made it as a star? Is it the three Championship rings, the MVP, All Star teams, or the Olympic Medals, or endorsement deals? No, those are just sports accomplishments. The sign that you are really a cultural icon is being a guest on Sesame [...]

Milwaukee Bucks’ Odd Box Score
Total Pro Sports – I was checking the late night box scores and points for the past 2 days of my Fantasy Basketball Team. When I cam across something really bizarre in the one of yesterdays games. It was between Milwaukee Bucks and the Los Angeles Lakers. Yes we all know the Lakers won handily [...]

Shaq spits fire
In response to a recent posting on this site, I want to give my opinion on Shaqs rap about Kobe Bryant. In true Hip Hop fashion the Big Diesel ripped into the reigning league MVP in a humorous and entertaining fashion. I loved every second of Shaqs rap; I hope he records it one day. [...]

You’re not Jordan! NBA Finals Game 6
Sitting in the TD Banknorth Garden last night with two of my friends, I realized that I had just witnessed a game most people could only dream about seeing. It didn’t matter to us that we paid $1,300 a ticket, $450 for a plane ride and $385 for a hotel room, for me, it was [...]

Celtics will take control
Tonight is game 4 of the NBA finals and it is make or break time for Lakers. If the Celtics win tonight, the series is done as they would have a choke hold on the Lakers, However, if the Lakers win it is a brand new series. I have a strong feeling that the Celtics [...]

The Big Three vs. Kobe
The NBA finals is upon us, and in a match up sure to give commissioner David Stern a boner it is the Lakers vs. Celtics. In a rematch of old rivals instead of Bird vs. Magic this series sees the big ticket go against the big baby, and I’m not talking about Glen Davis. I’m [...]
