The Miami Heat [...]

The 5 Best Dressed NBA Players of 2011

Published on 2011-12-26 08:19:39

Many players in the NBA are amongst the most well-dressed individuals in the celebrity world. After all, the NBA comes along with plenty of glitz, glamor and high salaries. As a result, many NBA players put a great deal of time and effort (not to mention money) into each ensemble they wear. Those who have [...]

Kobe Lost His Wife

Published on 2011-12-17 21:34:43

Shocking that Kobe is getting divorced. He was sleeping around for years. I guess Vanessa realized that the diamonds only get so big. That and the girls only get younger. Typically, the wives wait until the career is over. Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley are good examples. Lets just hope that Kobe doesn’t get caught [...]

Chris Paul is Now a Clipper. An NBA Joke.

Published on 2011-12-15 10:28:04

I Describe this trade in three words – A Bleeping Joke! The NBA owned team (Hornets) sent the best PG in the game to the racist Don Sterling. Why might you ask? To try to revive the joke of the NBA— The Los Angeles Clippers. Lets be honest. The Lakers already have a great audience. [...]

Published on 2011-11-28 04:24:01

Though I’m annoyed and still unsure as to whether I will purchase NBA League Pass; I am happy the NBA is back. The stalemate has ended and indeed we will see a 66 game season. The playoffs are going to be a wild ride with back to back games. I look forward to watching the drama unfold. However, will [...]

After filing two separate antitrust lawsuits against the league in different states, NBA players are consolidating their efforts and have turned to the courts in Minnesota as their chosen venue.

The Players Greed Has Allowed A Nuclear Holocaust

Published on 2011-11-15 11:11:15

Never did I think the Players of the NBA would allow it to go this far. This email from a 74 year old grandmother says it best: I am a 74 year old mother, grandmother and great-grandmother who, until now, would never want to miss any NBA game.  We had NBA League Pass until this [...]

Halloween With No NBA a True Possibility – Preseason Has Died

Published on 2011-10-05 14:53:48

Halloween with no NBA is a very possible event. This is something I hoped not to see. LB hoped that the idiots that run the NBA (Davis Stern and company) would have realized the importance of settling this labor dispute. I have always equated the beginning of the fall with NBA basketball. Of course, as [...]

DirectTV Shares Their Love of the Lockout – Players/NBA Set to Meet Again

Published on 2011-09-06 23:08:15

I’m touched… I got a letter today in the mail stating that Direct TV won’t charge me for my NBA Leaguepass until the labor dispute is settled. Isn’t this obvious?!? But, alas, the shear fact that they sent the letter isn’t a good sign. The NBA and players have still not come to an agreement [...]
