Sneakerheads across America have been anxiously anticipating the release of the Air Jordan V: Raging Bull Pack. Read More »

Was there any doubt that this was going in?

Going into this year, DeMar DeRozan was supposed to be the next O.J. Mayo — not because he and the possible NBA Rookie of the Year play anything alike, but rather because DeRozan was supposed to follow a similar path as his USC predecessor: one-and-done, a quick Big Dance appearance, and onto the Green Room.

Stephen Jackson looks honestly dumbfounded when he gets thrown out in the middle of a Phoenix fast break. And Don Nelson thinks he’s making a funny quip at referee Tony Brothers right before he gets the boot too. Seems like two bogus ejections to me…

Eleven games on the NBA schedule yesterday, but the League still had to take a backseat to March Madness. Even the Kobe/LeBron/Wade “Can you top this?” battle took a day off; all three played, but no one turned in an instant classic (more on that later) … Just like every year, we’re going to be all over the Big Dance, and yesterday we rolled out a ton of preview content surrounding the Selection Show: Read More »

This year, there are 12 guys that have a chance to do just that and bust your bracket. If you don’t already know about ’em, you will after the first two days of the tourney… Read More »

My favorite part of March Madness has to be the upsets. I still wake up with cold sweats thinking about TJ Sorrentine and the Vermont Catamounts knocking off my beloved Syracuse Orange a few years back. Upsets always happen in the NCAA Tournament but this year expect a plethora of lower seeds getting past their first round games. Here’s a look at my picks for this year’s upsets. Read More »
