Free Beer With Every ‘Bat-Free’ Spurs Win

Another amazing story for today, this one also coming from the great state of Texas. After Manu Ginobili’s bat incident last week on Halloween night, a San Antonio-based brewery is offering free beer every time the Spurs win a game and no Mexican free-tailed bats are harmed in the process. Amazing! Read More »

Manu Ginobili Catches Bat With His Bare Hands

In case you missed it over the weekend, on Halloween night, the Kings played in San Antonio. The game was momentarily stopped because a bat (Seriously. On Halloween.) was flying onto the court. The problem was solved when Manu Ginobili smacked the bat out of mid-air and picked it up and carried it off the court. He got some hand sanitizer and went back to playing.

Reebok Still Talkin’ Quote of the Day - 10.30

If you were 6-7, 277 pounds and had a 7-3 wing span, you would probably believe you had a chance to be drafted in the first round. If you were 6-7, 277 pounds, had a 7-3 wing span AND were the Big East Player of the Year, that averaged a double-double and brutalized the eventual second pick in the draft - you’d definitely be a first round pick….right? Not if your name is DeJuan Blair. Read More »

The Fall Of The Texas Triangle

It’s kind of odd that the once-dreaded Texas Triangle seems overlooked these days, and for good reason. The Rockets’ quick fall from grace (with key losses in Yao Ming and Ron Artest) now leaves them for perhaps an 7th seed at best, and that’s just because they still have most of last year’s team.

The Best Fit For Bruce Bowen

Most 38-year-old lanky small forwards aren’t usually sought after by championship contending teams, but Bruce Bowen brings a lot more intangibles to the table than your average 38-year-old. Even at his age, he is still one of the league’s best perimeter defenders, shoots a high percentage from three and is a proven playoff veteran. Although he is known around the league as a “dirty” player, he is tough as nails and every team could always afford to get tougher as the playoffs roll around. Read More »

3 NBA Trade Rumors I Wish Had Come True

Throughout the entire year, everybody hears all sorts of rumors regarding “potential” trades in the NBA. (Check out some of the best NBA trade rumors of the past 15 years here). I’m just as guilty as the next person of throwing all rational thinking out the window and becoming euphoric about a potential deal getting done that would change the course of the NBA as we know it.

Tony Parker Injured In France

The San Antonio Spurs have arguably had the best offseason of anyone in the League. They added Richard Jefferson for nothing, signed free agent Antonio McDyess, somehow managed to pick up DaJuan Blair in the Draft, and maybe know something no one else does about this guy, officially re-stocking a roster that can clearly contend for a title during the few years that Tim Duncan has left in the tank.

None of that means anything though with Tony Parker in the mix, which is why this report this morning has undoubtedly led to legions of Spurs fans collectively throwing up in their mouths: Read More »
