Then around mid-August, I’m ready for the NBA again and ready for my NBA League Pass renewal. That’s when the prospect of watching every pro game goes from “I have to” back to its rightful “I get to.” Read More »

Nike Lil’ Dez Tee

Lil Dez Tee

Our friends over at Nike just sent us this graphic of Lil’ Dez that’s going to be on a tee dropping any day now. It’s safe to say that a t-shirt featuring the littlest member of the MVP Puppets is a must have. Read More »

Wizards interested in Marbury; Brendan Haywood not a fan

Stephon Marbury

Last week it seemed a forgone conclusion that Stephon Marbury had — either intentionally or unintentionally — ended his own NBA career by following his crazy Internet act with a public admission that he smokes weed. However, maybe there’s still a chance for Steph to get back in the League … if he really wants it.

According to ProBasketballNews.com, the Wizards are keeping Marbury “on their radar” as a possible late signing. Read More »

Greg Paulus Named Syracuse Starting QB

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Syracuse’s new starting quarterback (named after just a week of practice!), Greg Paulus. After seeing the ire raised by the news that Paulus was making a run at the NFL this summer and the general reaction to his choice to play football in college, we can only assume that the majority of college football fans are going to be dying to see defenses bring the house when they line up across from him.

The Best Dunk Contest Since Vince Carter vs. Steve Francis

We dropped a video of this yesterday, but you have to check out the cut from the Team Flight Brothers. Keep in mind that Guy Dupuy is 6-3 and TDub is 5-9 and these two are dunking over groups of people and then going through-the-legs or around-the-back. Ridiculous.
