We’re not going to back off on our new pretend-friendship with Kobe Bryant, but we just got around to watching his appearance on Quite Frankly from last night, and “natural conversationalist” isn’t the first thing that came to mind.
There’s nothing wrong with what Kobe says and while his answers are somewhat contrived, he’s not […]

Sonics legend Nate McMillan returned to Seattle last night as the coach of the Trailblazers for the first time and managed to come away with a victory over his former team.
It was somewhat of a mystery how the city would react to him, being that he played there his entire career, became their […]

Not all of his awesome players agree with that.

With the Cavaliers on a 6-game win streak following their beating-up of the Bobcats last night, the fact just may be that LeBron’s tights are here to stay. Now that everyone in the mainstream is talking about them, including the PTI guys yesterday (Kornheiser is indifferent, Wilbon says “no”), it’s time to retire our long […]

With Isiah Thomas’s sexual harassment case heating up the papers, reporters are looking everywhere for a unique angle. That’s how you end up with the NY Daily News talking to Isiah’s illegitimate son Marc Dones of Detroit. Dones has never actually met his father, but says the Knicks GM has at least held up his […]

‘’I didn’t know it was 10 straight, but me and Gary [Payton] were talking,’’ Wade […]

Oh, man! I made a huge score last night. HUGE! I almost feel bad for the poor sucker. Think he was a ballplayer of some such. I’ll get to my score later, but here’s something I found really tore my heartstrings; almost made me leave empty-handed. Little love note.

That’s five in a row.

We’d like to think we’re a pretty good defensive driver, which is something you’d better be to survive here in Los Angeles. That said, we’re always open to suggestions on how we might be able to improve our skills.
We’d like to draw up a little diagram of what happened to us yesterday afternoon, in […]

Chris is getting down tonightChris Andersen, the second greatest dunker in the history of the league, has been kicked out of the NBA for drug use. It’s surprising, ’cause the dude totally doesn’t look like he’d ever dabble in drugs.
Andersen must wait two years before he can apply for reinstatement, the league said.
According to the […]
