It’s not personal it’s business. Getting traded is just a part of the glamorous world of professional sports. But four times over a course of two months? Welcome to Quentin Richardson’s offseason. In a span of seven weeks, the 29-year-old forward was traded from New York to Memphis, Memphis to the L.A. Clippers, L.A. to Minnesota and finally Minnesota to the Miami Heat. Just days before Heat training camp, we caught up with Q-Rich to talk about his crazy summer, his days with the Knicks and his fresh start in South Florida. Read More »

It didn’t matter that Dwyane Wade went the whole second half without a field goal, with the game on the line, you want the ball in his hands.

Think about LeBron James and Dwyane Wade on the same squad, forming what could possibly the most talented duo in NBA.

During the offseason, Mario gave us his secrets on how to pad your steal stats… Read More »

After seeing this last night, all I could do was think of Anthony Carter’s crazy shot back-in-the-day with the Heat. What’s the best over-the-backboard shot you’ve ever seen?

Perhaps this is unrelated, but there’s a reason no one is talking about Joel Anthony’s impending free agency this summer…

An effective ad campaign can be a goldmine. Look at Geico. Who else could make cavemen or a wad of cash with googly eyes drive you to buy insurance. Taking a page out of the book of out-the-box ideas is the Miami Heat.

For anyone that has been down in South Florida, you might have wondered what the giant black billboard with the word “DOUBTERS” written in white italics was all about on I-95 southbound just north of Miami. With no logo or identification or whom or what had placed the ad, all you could see was birds perched atop it doing their business directly onto the billboard. Read More »
