SportsCenter Slumming It

So, we got really drunk the night before last and hooked up with someone. Now we can’t remember who it was. We feel so cheap and dirty.

A Vote for Robin Is a Vote for Failure

You’d think we’d learn a lesson after being burnt by our Kiwi fan base, but… Last week it was reported that Suns center Robin Lopez received a 2nd place vote for Rookie of the Year. Cute right? You’ve got to assume some media member got his Lopezes mixed up, as Robin’s twin brother Brook averaged [...]

Marks Plays 22 Minutes, Hornets Go Home

New Orleans’ 20-point loss in Denver last night surely was no surprise to anyone, after the Hornets matched the all-time mark for NBA Playoff Futility on Monday. What is surprising is that, on the brink of elimination, the Hornets ignored a fundamental principle of professional sports: once identified as a Fan Favorite, a player will [...]

Renaissance Man

Bobby Knight knows three things: (1) basketball; (2) hunting; and (3) berating the media (of which he is now a member).  Of these three categories, only the third is his true gift to humanity.  Beat writers are Knight’s canvas.

Who Wants to Buy a Jersey?

On Wednesday the NBA Store announced the 2008-2009 rankings for both individual and team jersey sales.   I suppose the results aren’t that surprising since, well, people are pretty big tools.  I do have a few general takeaways though: How does Allen Iverson’s Pistons jersey come in 5th?  He averaged a career low 17.5 ppg and [...]
