YAYsports! NBA

All word is that LeBron is having one of his best seasons ever, and that the Cavs are on the upswing suddenly.
Good for them - in another life, we would’ve been the happiest boy on the planet. Many of your emails are asking us why we’re not.
We probably do owe you an explanation of […]

Bet you thought you’d get no post today, being that we wrote something north of 10,000 words lasterday, huh? Well, this is a Blog Resurrection - that means you get posts EVERY DAY.
The Cavaliers actually handily winning a game last night inspired the following. You may need to connect the dots a bit, but […]

Sorry to intrude on Jack’s day, but we just needed to note that if we were gonna be in town New Year’s Eve, we’d totally pony up to sit at Kwame’s table, if only to present him with cake after cake after cake, watching as his rage simmered…until the inevitable smashing began at the strike […]

Despite the fact the Great YAY Blog Suicide of 2007 has been an astounding success, we still get our fair share of email from the readership, which is nice.
(Numbers don’t lie - we just checked our stats for the first time in about 8 months, and readership is roughly…no joke…like 1/20 what it used to […]

According to places all over the place, Kevin Garnett to the Celtics is back on. Not only that - it’s supposed to be […]

If you weren’t aware, the NBA All-Star Game is in New Orleans next year.
Normally that’d be all there is to say about that, except today…today is different. You see, lasterday the 2008 New Orleans All-Star Game logo was unveiled, and Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler, who grew up in the city and loves being […]

Excuse us for our lack of posts today, but…wait, we never post anymore. Forget we apologized for that.
Anyway, Darko signed a three year deal with Memphis, and that means good things for Cavaliers fans. Mainly, Andersen Varejao is gonna be cornered into accepting a Drew Gooden-esque, favorable to Cleveland deal.
Nobody can offer him anything substantial […]

We think everyone is familiar with the infamous “Stephen A Smith eats Cheese Doodles during commercial breaks” hecklers from last year’s NBA Draft. It made the rounds on Deadspin and YouTube, and became quite the sensation. (Here’s a link if you’ve never seen it.)
Well, they were back this year, and it’s beyond classic. Realizing that […]

(This is where we would have a Photoshop of Kobe inside an Orange County strip mall gift shop, browsing Beanie Babies.)
The newest trend in NBA fandom/entrepreneurship seems to be “making your own underground Kobe Bryant controversy”.
To go along with the made-up rape book we covered the other day, a couple of mystery men in […]
