ESPN….3D!?!?
Yes sir, this is totally real and exactly what you’re thinking. Launching June 11, ESPN’s new channel is going to show over 85 live sporting events in 3D during its first year. They are starting with the 2010 FIFA World Cup match, and then moving on to sporting events like the 2011 BCS...

Ron Artest’s Open Letter to Tiger Woods

Ron Artest’s Open Letter to Tiger Woods
This is real, by the way. Dear Tiger, In reading the statements you have made, I can tell you are a stand up guy. Please remember only Jesus is perfect. You made a mistake and you admitted your infidelity. I have made the same mistakes. Before I got married to my wife, I had a baby with another young...

The NBA D-League is Stupid

The NBA D-League is Stupid
From ESPN.com: OREM, Utah — An NBA Development League team will refund the ticket prices to the thousands of fans who went to a Utah Flash game and expected Michael Jordan to play in a charity exhibition at halftime. A Jordan lookalike instead was introduced to face former Utah Jazz guard Bryon...

KiKi Vandeweghe is a chump

KiKi Vandeweghe is a chump
Former NBA player and Nets GM KiKi Vandeweghe (often confused with Kiki Shepard) was named as the new head coach of the New Jersey Nets yesterday, and instantly pulled a punk move.  You see the 0-17 Nets have tied the record for the worst start in NBA history, and are looking to “Ki-double”...

Iverson: Done or Not, His Tattoos Live On

Iverson: Done or Not, His Tattoos Live On
I couldn’t be a good basketball fan and not weight in on AI, right? Right now the rumors are swirling: the retirement’s not for real, some say, and Philly’s looking like the strongest candidate for hiring Iverson and letting him run their squad. Personally, I wouldn’t really...

White Men Can Jump

White Men Can Jump
I came across this series of YouTube instructional videos by a company called Gannon Baker Basketball. They do training camps and instructional videos that help you get your game together. I guess at this stage in life it may be pointless to learn some new moves, but I think “Hell, why not?”...

The tale of the Duke shorts: a “short” story
(Disclaimer: this is only for college basketball fans…and it’s completely true.) As a child, I cared more about Duke Basketball than anything else. I went to Duke Basketball Camp, and a bunch of other camps, to perfect my skills, waiting for the day when I was going to get recruited by Coach...

To celebrate the advent of the 2009-10 NCAA basketball season, I bring you this fine video, featuring one of my fave coaches of all time, Temple University’s now-retired ball of fury,  John Chaney.

Rate my Fantasy Basketball Team

Rate my Fantasy Basketball Team
For the past couple of years I have participated in fantasy basketball, which has given a whole new meaning to watching NBA basketball for me. I play with a bunch of guys I used to work with, many of which are big time stat nerds. The first year I sucked and finished like 9th. The second year I was...

Sonicsgate- Full Movie
About a month ago I reported about the release of this movie. Now the full version is out and it is as interesting as I expected it to be.

Yes!! It’s finally here. I can finally watch sports again! I’m from Durham, NC where it’s all about the roundball baby, and now, those of us that don’t watch football or baseball can finally become men again. The Duke season starts in a few weeks, so we can have another season...
