Fantasy Trophies

Fantasy Trophies
Ah yes, Fantasy Sports: the last bit of athletic competition that most of us will ever be a part of.  Collecting the $20 entry fee times 10 is a nice incentive, but why not up the ante and get your league a bonafide fantasy trophy that each year’s winning pretend GM can stare at all year?  Interested?...

NBA + The 80s = NB80s!

NBA + The 80s = NB80s!
I’ve already accepted the fact that I’m starting to really sound like an old person because I vehemently believe that everything was better when I was growing up, including the tattoo-less, short shorts sporting, affordable shoe wearing, sky-hooking professional basketball league that was...

Dunks by Eric Elms
Artist Eric Elms is putting a new spin on documenting the most impressive of all basketball shots, by celebrating not only some of the most memorable dunks in recent history, but also the reactions that they yielded from onlookers and fans alike.  Dunks is a sattle-stitched and leather-bound zine that...

The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball

The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball
“Basketball is my favorite sport.  I like the way they dribble up and down the court.  Just like I am the king on the microphone, so is Doctor J. and Moses Malone.”  You know, in retrospect the second part of that makes absolutely  no sense, but then again, I just ate a Skinny Cow ice...

White Men Can Jump

White Men Can Jump
I’m about 6 ft (wearing shoes), and in my athletic prime (age 16) I could dunk a volleyball with one hand.  18 or so years later, I can barely touch the rim.  But that’s not the case with Division III Illinois College guard Jacob Tucker. Jake is 5’11 and sports a 50 inch vertical....

My Son Probably Wont’ Be This Good

My Son Probably Wont’ Be This Good
If you’re anything like me, your dreams of fatherhood include teaching your son to be an even better basketball player than you ever were, so you can live vicariously through them, provided they actually enjoy it. After watching this video, my dreams of creating the uber-guard came crashing down...

Shotloc

Shotloc
Let’s be honest: your jump shot ain’t what it used to be when you were a kid who was dead serious about your hoop game.  Those Thursday night pick-up games are great exercise, but how much more fun would it be if you were contributing to the win, and guaranteeing yourself a place on the...

Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals

Magic & Bird: A Courtship of Rivals
As a kid, I played the video game bearing the same title for hours on end, and frankly I’m disappointed that this isn’t what that is.  Either way, the rivalry of Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Larry Bird is one of legends.  This documentary follows their entire careers from their...
