I Want Matt Barnes On My Team

L.A. fans were all over Matt Barnes from the Orlando Magic last night. They weren’t saying the most flattering things about the guy. How dare he mess with Kobe Bryant, they say. Why would he bump him at every turn? Why would he fake throwing a ball to his face (to Kobe’s credit, he didn’t [...]

Enjoy The Work Of Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant became the all-time leading scorer for the Los Angeles Lakers franchise.
I wonder if people realize how huge that is.
Kobe Bryant became the all-time leading scorer for the Los Angeles Lakers franchise.
We all know who played for the Lakers. Jerry West (the LOGO). Magic Johnson. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Wilt Chamberlain. Gail Goodrich. James Worthy. Shaquille [...]

If You Don’t Know, Now You Know (Part 2)

This is not going to be a very long entry but…
I just find it real funny that Portland players like to have their coming out parties against Phoenix on national TV (TNT). If y’all remember, Brandon Roy scored a juicy 52 points against Phoenix last year.
This year, Portland came from 15 down to win the [...]

Ricky Ricky Ricky, Can’t You See?

REY-REY’S NOTE: We like to do guest posts on this blog once in a while. This one is by Stephanie K. As we learned in a previous interview with her, she’s a huge Detroit Pistons fan. Turns out that she also has a soft spot for one Tyree Ricardo Davis. You guys know him simply [...]

Ron Artest Is Awesome

Well, it’s not a secret. I’ve been trying to get Ron Artest to go on our podcast for a couple of months now. And he’s said yes to me twice already. But it was admittedly frustrating to get a hold of him because he was basically everywhere. I wouldn’t be going after him like this [...]

Two Simple Rules (To Following the Golden State Warriors)

At the end of the 2006 – 2007 NBA season, it looked like the Golden State Warriors had finally put it all together. Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington helped the team to gel. The team pushed into the playoff race when Don Nelson himself announced they were out of the playoff race. [...]

We Salute You, Admiral

I’m a big fan of David Robinson. I was a fan then and I’m still a fan now.
So I was happy when he got named to the Basketball Hall of Fame. I mean, did you see his career stats? It’s incredible, to say the least. 4.5 blocks per game in 1991-1992? And 2.3 steals [...]

Chris Paul Owns My Soul

Yeah, this Chris Paul fella? He’s kinda good.
But my admiration for his game multiplied a hundred times when we saw him play live at Staples Center against the Clippers. Sure, we were rooting for the Clippers, but I am NEVER going to take away anything from real ballers. And CP3 is a real [...]

I Think Danny Granger Is Good

Danny Granger.

Who passed on him again in the 2005 Draft? Because, clearly, he’s in the Top 3 of this class now.
1. Andrew Bogut (Bucks, starting center and doing decent)
2. Marvin Williams (Hawks, doing okay but will forever be known as the guy taken ahead of #4)
3. Deron Williams (Jazz, he’s pretty good)
4. [...]

You Guys Should Know David West

I’ll have the usual obscure player section later but I HAVE to blog about this.
So I was watching a potential Game of the Year candidate in the Lakers and the Hornets. David West and Chris Paul were putting on a show for N’awlins while Kobe Bryant turned into NBA2K9 mode when he was making [...]
