YAYsports! NBA

We’re pretty upset at the moment.
This is one of our absolute favorite periods of the year: the NBA preseason.
You’ve media day pics begging to be manipulated (the Spurs, 76ers and PHX have already gone at it), predictions, previews, games, and of course, mass delusion from fans.
We’re caught up in heavy Who Shot Mamba? biz for […]

A couple weeks back we had a little contest to give away a shirt from the YAYsports! Store of Purchasable Merchandise, and just to let you know we’re a man of our word, here’s the happy winner adorning their cat George with a nice new “PAU!” shirt.
This continues the fine tradition of people not […]

In the ongoing quest to make T-Mac a happy person, the Rockets managed to scoop up enigmatic free-agent forward Bonzi Wells, signing him to a 2-year deal worth some amount of money that we don’t feel like looking up.
What we do know for sure is that the deal is much less than the 5-year, $36M […]

As Brian Windhorst informs us via his blog, our beloved Cavaliers have installed a new floor, one our beloved mother called to tell us looks like “a championship floor”.

We like this PHX-esque model way more than the old one, and this is just more evidence of Dan Gilbert’s ongoing attempt to be a really super […]

We present this picture without alteration and without commentary.
Here it is.
Do with it what you will.
The story behind it.
(Thanks to MOM, our 145th most loyal reader.)

(The EXPLOSIONS return, as there should be regular news and crap from here on…might be sporadic for the next few weeks, but here you go.)
Apologies go out to all for this feature being missing all summer - it means we didn’t always send you to stuff like this 80s Lakers anti-drug music vid.
Well, we […]

Watch this, then join us dans le below:
Here are our thoughts:
1) Scared now.
2) Never going to France now.
3) Just like what we imagine Tony is really like now.
4) Wondering if that isn’t supposed to be funny in France now.
Whatever the case, we’re guessing you’re watching that at least 5 times.

Training camps open next week, which means we only have a few more days of the torture that has been this NBA off-season.
We’re convinced the non-news and non-movement of players was karmic payback for the summer Shaq got traded, which had so much news and controversy it felt like the season never actually ended.
Anyway, […]

After seeing Kwame Brown’s reaction to the new roundie yesterday, we anticipate much more talk to come on this thing. We felt we needed to do some more research, and what we found is simply frightening.

Umm…yeah.

We’ve said a lot of things about Lakers PF Kwame Brown over the course of this blog.
In no particular order, we’ve called him creepy, a wimp, whiny, “not good at basketball”, and most famously, a virgin.
Well, this may be the year we take it all back - according to this long Q&A with the LA […]
