This poor guy would have been better off choosing his dog to be his best man…

If we believed that “Real_Ron_Artest” was the Tru Warier himself, then we’d be posting that he’s leaving Houston for Harlem to play for the Globetrotters.

“Yo, big announcement coming soon,” he tweeted late last night. “I’m signing with the…Globetrotters. I can’t wait to throw a bucket of confetti in ya grandma’s face.” Read More »

We met Ricky Rubio and his family in the Dime/Levi’s Draft suite. Though it was a brief interaction, they didn’t seem like the type of people who would throw a giant temper tantrum until they got exactly what they wanted.

By fretting about going to Minneapolis, Rubio’s team has inspired virtually every NBA squad to make an offer for him. But David Kahn is holding the line. If Rubio really wants to screw the T-Wolves, he does have one option though. Read More »

Talk about a change of heart. Back when Stephen Curry went 5-18 from the field for 20 points against the College of Charleston, NBA analysts and scouts piped up, saying that he wasn’t fit for the League.

But last week he was selected seventh in the draft. And now, he’s the reason that Golden State won’t pull the trigger on a trade that would get them one of the most dynamic talents in the game today. Read More »

Maybe Amar’e saw the effect that Kevin Love’s breaking news tweets had on the blog-o-sphere, and wanted to see how it felt to be the source of a story. Or, maybe he just wanted to mess with all of us.

Either way, Amar’e has been pushing the STAT-to-the-Lakers rumor on his Twitter feed. Read More »

If you said that Lance Stephenson, the first four-time NYC champion (along with classmate Buddha Ellis), was going to commit to Cincinnati a year ago, people would have called you crazy. But that’s exactly what just happened.

After months of hearing that he was headed to St. John’s, Maryland, Memphis, Arizona, or even Florida, Cincinnati popped out of nowhere to snare Lance.

Leading up to this summer’s free agency, we’d heard two conflicting rumors. (1) Carlos Boozer was going to Detroit or Miami. (2) The piss poor economy would cause some top-tier players to opt-in on the final year of their contracts instead of exploring the open market.

With Boozer, the economy won out. Read More »

During the Redeem Team’s run to gold, LeBron emerged as Team USA’s ring leader. From an outsider’s perspective, he, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Carmelo and Dwyane Wade seemed like the closest clique.

But maybe we should include Chris Bosh in that too. Despite LeBron’s memorable shit-talking to Bosh’s girl, there’s a rumor that ‘Bron and Bosh want to play together in 2010. Read More »

I’m not sure why it isn’t this simple for all of the other bad teams in the League. The Knicks, Grizzlies, and Timberwolves have a ton of weaknesses. But they don’t seem to have a clear vision to fill the glaring gaps in their rosters.

New York’s best player is a power forward, but they took another one with the eighth pick. The Grizzlies had four seven-footers headed into the draft, and they took another one. The Wolves took two f-ing point guards, and now they’re indignant when someone says that their draft strategy isn’t making too much sense. If only every team approached the draft with the same lucid philosophy as the Thunder. Read More »

Up at the Dime/Levi’s draft suite last week, Tyreke Evans came through to get a haircut and take some photos before walking across the biggest stage of his life. And just as it’s been for his entire life, his brothers were there to help him along. We found this clip from E:60 on True Hoop last night, a look back at the foundation of one of this draft’s most unique talents.
