So much for Ricky Rubio. Word out of Wisconsin is that Ramon Sessions could be on the verge of receiving an offer sheet from the Timberwolves, which in all likelihood would end his time in restricted free agency limbo this summer. While T-Wolves fans should rejoice, I can’t say that Jonny Flynn is happy to hear this. Read More »

In case you missed it when Oregon RB LaGarrette Blount walked over to Boise State DL Byron Hout and punched him in the face, here you go.

From the best (Shaq) to the worst (Russell Westbrook) on down to the weird (Stephon Marbury), NBA players who partake in Twitter are about to get put on blast. David Stern told Yahoo! Sports yesterday that he’s about to issue some restrictions on players using Twitter and other social media, similar to what the NFL has done. “You want to make sure that pop culture doesn’t intrude on what brought us here, which is the game, and that we show the right respect for the game,” Stern said. “We just need to make sure when it’s OK to Tweet and when it’s not OK to Tweet so it at least focuses around the game. It would look unusual for a guy sitting on the bench to pick up his cell phone, and I think we can agree that he probably shouldn’t be writing e-mails. It’s not about Twitter; it’s about the line of communication. That’s what we’re focusing on.” … Read More »

Basketball isn’t like it used to be. It’s no longer just a hoop and a ball on a court, but rather a year-around training regimen that tries to perfect every aspect of your game. That’s why you see a difference each level you jump. From high school to college to the League, the difference in what it takes is tremendous. That’s why when players are looking to get an advantage (the legal way), there’s one place that Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade always go: the ATTACK Center. Read More »

As you know, originally I wasn’t all that impressed with Acrodunk — at least in terms of them being a potential Las Vegas act and a $1 million winner of “America’s Got Talent.” But earlier this week, the Houston-based crew shut me up with the performance seen below. On Wednesday, however, they didn’t garner enough votes from America and were sent home in the “AGT” semifinals. On the positive side, their appearances fees just shot up and they’ll be in heavy demand for awhile.

In the end, the fact that Bruce Bowen was essentially sacrificed so that the San Antonio Spurs could have a better chance at winning another championship was somewhat symbolic of what he meant to the team.

When Bowen was traded to Milwaukee this offseason as part of the deal to get Richard Jefferson, I expected he would eventually get bought out and return to the Spurs as a minimum-salary player, similar to Antonio McDyess spending five minutes on the Nuggets last year before returning to the Pistons.

Nike + Spike Lee + Tim Hardaway = Amazing

Since winning the chip in ’07, the Boston Celtics have slid down a little in the power rankings. Cleveland and Orlando are arguably now the top two teams in the East. With the big three of KG, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce turning another year older, the clock is definitely ticking on their second championship quest. Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers have been on the ball this summer by resigning Big Baby and adding Rasheed Wallace and Shelden Williams to the mix. They continued their offseason productivity this week by signing veteran guard Marquis Daniels to a one-year deal. Read More »

While they can sit and wait to hear from Allen Iverson, the Memphis Grizzlies need to start looking for a backup point guard. I would like to think that the Marcus Williams experiment will pan out, but he may not be able to find his way to training camp. Realizing this, GM Chris Wallace is starting to arrange workouts with free agent point guards this week. Read More »

Think what you will, but Tracy McGrady is doing everything he can to be the player that he once was. Working extensively with Tim Grover at the ATTACK Center in Chicago, watch McGrady putting in work to recover from micro-fracture knee surgery (and bad decisions last year) as he tries to rejoin the NBA elite.
