Last night in his second return to Cleveland, LeBron James was a no-show during pre-game intros. When pressed afterwards, he said he was “in the bathroom” when starting lineups were announced.

Some people see the no-show as no big deal. I have a huge problem with this though and here’s why: Read More »

Beast of the Night: Kevin Durant finished with 39 points, six rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers last night. He shot 57 percent (13-23) from the field, 83 percent (10-12) from the charity stripe and had two turnovers.

Daaaaaaamn. That’s all a fourth grader could say. And it wasn’t even like I actually spoke the words either; my nine-year-old cheeks would’ve gotten smacked if I had. I was young, but I wasn’t stupid. Still, I knew special when I saw it. Allegany Community College. Cumberland, Maryland. Steve Francis was ill even before the NBA, even before Maryland. Back then, in case you forgot, The Franchise was just beginning his takeover. Read More »

If you’ve been checking the hardwood during March Madness, you’ve most likely noticed that a ton of guys are wearing the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse. With that said, check out what Nike Basketball put together for Kentucky this season. Maybe it’s the colorway, or maybe it’s the school logo on the side, but either way I like it.
