Marcus Camby never wanted to leave Los Angeles. Imagine that. A savvy veteran wanting to finish his career with the Clippers? Only in the movies, right? Well, against his will, Marcus was dealt to Portland for the expiring contracts of Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake. Oh, and $1.5M plus Portland pays off Camby’s bonus incentives. So what it comes [...]

I Like Watching The Celtics
So people pretty much know that I root for the Lakers first and I root for the Clippers second. And I believe it was Chris Mannix from Sports Illustrated that posed this question: which five teams in the NBA do you watch the most? And, of course, my top two were obvious. But I’m sure [...]
So All-Star Voting Sucks…
I hate the way NBA All-Star starters are voted in right now. As of today, Tracy McGrady would be starting for the Western Conference and Allen Iverson would be starting for the Eastern Conference. T-Mac’s only played very few games this season and Iverson hasn’t been exactly putting up the numbers. Iverson’s only averaged 15 [...]
End Of The Dark Side Era
So one of my all-time favorite players that never got to play much, Darko Milicic, has decided he’s had enough of the NBA. He said that no matter what happens, he will go back to Europe. 100 percent certain.
Darko also said that the NBA is full of liars.
I will never know what goes on [...]
Why Tank?
I’ve been wanting to write about this for a long time.
Tanking. It will NEVER, ever make sense to me. I’ve heard people tell teams to tank and I never understood why. Even as recently as a couple of weeks ago! “Eh, I give up on this year. Let’s just tank the season so we [...]
Tim Donaghy And The NBA
Hey, guys. Y’all remember Tim Donaghy (who, by the way, is now a free man). He is forever known as the referee that fixed NBA games, including the ones that he worked on. Donaghy also wrote a book about it called Blowing the Whistle. In the same vein as Jose Canseco with Major League Baseball, [...]
Isiah Says Magic Is Two-Face
Thanks to Jeff Garcia for bringing up this story to me. And thanks to Sports Illustrated’s Ian Thomsen for this story.
So Magic Johnson and Larry Bird are co-writing a book with Jackie MacMullan called When The Game Was Ours.
And, apparently, Isiah Thomas is NOT happy with all these accusations and claims made by Magic. [...]
Where Are The Parents Or Guardian At?
When I read this story, I couldn´t believe it. Can you be serious? This is a sad story for this young man. Is basketball more important than a diploma? Here´s the story from ESPN.COM.
Jeremy Tyler, a 6-foot-11 junior, dropped out his San Diego High School and said he would skip his senior year to play [...]
The Cavs Are NOT The Champs
Why are some people already proclaiming this…?
“I’ll be surprised if Cleveland doesn’t win in the Finals.”
Really? You’ve got to be kidding me. I say it’s still an unclear picture.
I still believe that it’s a four-way race for the title: three from the East and the Lakers from the West. If anything, I’d [...]
Hating On The Fantasy
I do NOT like fantasy sports anymore. In fact, I can go as far as saying that I HATE fantasy sports.
I can understand the appeal of it. After all, I played fantasy sports for a few good years. And I won’t stop people from playing them.
But after playing with so many fantasyheads, the spirit [...]
