The Sacramento Kings have sky-high potential when it comes to fantasy appeal. The question is whether they’ll have enough touches and shots to appease all the offensive weapons available. With so many mouths on this team to feed, fantasy owners should keep their expectations in check when it comes to the weekly production of any one of the Kings’ main rotation players. Read More »

What started as a friendly debate between former Syracuse teammates Carmelo Anthony and Hakim Warrick, has turned into a full-blown, winner-take-all grudge match. And as with all basketball debates, this one can only be settled on the court.

They will compete against Warrick’s team featuring Philly products Wayne Ellington, Markieff and Marcus Morris, John Salmons, and Flip Murrary. Read More »
Rumors of Ron Artest playing in the UK were met with skepticism. The league he’s aiming for is probably the worst in all of Europe, and the team doesn’t even have the money to satisfy Artest. But now officials with the team he is signing with, the Cheshire Jets, are offering to help Artest with his career off the court. There is even talk of getting the Tru Warier onto a soap opera, where he could show how young and restless he really is. Can someone please make this happen? Artest could definitely play the overbearing boyfriend who butts heads with a rival over a lover and overdramatizes every scene … Read More »

Last we told you about the Goodman Coalition, it was a new spinoff of the legendary Goodman League and close to starting. Now, nearly a month into the indoor league, the number of players that have stopped by and played could fill an NBA roster.

Each summer the Goodman League in Washington, D.C. hosts NBA stars and streetball legends as one of the most well-known summer leagues in the country. Across the United States in Los Angeles, the Drew League does virtually the same. From Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins in D.C. to DeMar DeRozan and James Harden in L.A., the leagues have been the talk of the summer. So when Durant put on another show, but this time in the Drew League and not the Goodman League last month, he raised a question: Which league is better? Read More »
Miles Rawls says he never knows what to expect each summer at the Goodman League at Washington, D.C.’s legendary Barry Farms. Rawls, who runs the league, doesn’t know who’s going to come down and play. But every year there’s at least one person who he can always count on – Kevin Durant. Read More »
If you don’t know about the Goodman League, then chances are you don’t know much about hoops. Period. And this summer is going to be crazy! NCAA sanctioned for the first time, everyone is going to be coming through Barry Farms. And by everyone, I mean everyone. Kevin Durant, Michael Beasley, Donte Greene, Ty Lawson, John Wall, Josh Selby, Will Barton, Aquille Carr and many, many more. With that, our fam at The Mars Reel have put together the official summer 2011 preview.
Since professional wrestlers are really the only athletes who go stomping off into the sunset, I’m guessing DeMarcus Cousins will be back with the Sacramento Kings soon enough.
On Saturday night, Cousins watched as teammate Tyreke Evans missed a potential game-winning three at the buzzer against Oklahoma City, then threw a tempter tantrum that carried him across the court and into the Kings locker room, where he reportedly got into a fight with Donte Greene for not passing him the ball on the decisive play.
