Barry on ESPN: “The guy on the end is a jerk, Jalen tries to hard. Doug is outstanding. Why they have that gal on – give me a break.” — KNBR (@KNBR) June 13, 2014 That’s brutal. I think Sage Steele is good at what she does. Jalen has to be there because he’s a […]

NBA to release limited-edition sneakers to commemorate league’s 68th anniversary
What an interesting idea. I like the fact that the league is celebrating its anniversary, but I don’t get how we can commemorate that with a shoe. I get the appeal that because it’s limited, sneakerheads will jump on it. But I wonder if there is a better way to celebrate. I just don’t find […]
NBA fans see the Raptors’ baseline for the first time and go crazy
The baseline is tripping people out. The Toronto Raptors have had their optical illusion baseline for a few seasons. But since they aren’t a big name team, casual fans probably have never watched a Raptors home game until today’s playoff opener. Because of that, we saw some funny reactions on Twitter to the baseline. Raptors […]

NBA officiating continues to be confusing
So instead of a 105-102 game with a free throw coming up for the Raptors to cut into the lead, somehow, someway, Kyle Lowry was called for an offensive foul. Can someone explain this to me? His shooting motion was a normal motion and he did not appear to stick his leg out intentionally to […]
There might be actual footage of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game
There might be video of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 point game. http://t.co/YeqpeLdJ6p pic.twitter.com/x7jgMpVzby — Complex (@ComplexMag) January 13, 2014 Now this is something. Consider this the holy grail of basketball footages. It’s been long believed that there was no actual video footage of this game. Due to the small attention and the time, it’s not surprising […]
Samuel Lam’s 2013 Best and Worst Dressed in sports: NBA edition
Yeah, this matchup was a problem that even the NBA had to address it. Today is the final day of 2013 and I’m going to do my year in review of the best and worst uniforms of the year. Unfortunately this year there will be no college sports involved (just way too much for me […]
Toronto Raptors are having a “Drake Night”
Drake is a very popular rapper. I think his music is OK, but the Toronto native has taken the Raptors by storm. Not only is he the “global ambassador” for the team, but he will have a hand in the team’s new logo and uniform identity. The Raptors might go away from the raptor dinosaur and […]
The story of how I got to meet Dr. J
It was a true honor to meet Dr. J, shake his hand and get his autograph. Several weeks ago I found out too late about a Stevie Nicks signing at a Barnes & Noble in LA. That devastated me because I love Fleetwood Mac and she’s my favorite. However that day, I also found out […]
The commercial for the sleeved NBA jerseys for Christmas makes me shake my head
I am embarrassed for you, Adidas. You continue to push this product even though it looks terrible. Now you just slap on a logo in the front and call it a day? This is not good. It looks cheap and it serves no real purpose. Sleeves, please go away! Share this: Click to share on […]

Remembering Allen Iverson’s career
Just one of my favorites ever. I just knew watching him as a kid that he was something special. I had his rookie card, I knew that he was going to be big. He did. He changed the game. he gave us something that we never truly appreciated until we realized that there would be […]
What I am looking forward to this NBA season
LeBron James the top star of the league and Stephen Curry as the up and coming star. With the NBA season starting up tonight, here are some things I look forward to seeing. Warriors building on success: As a Warriors fan, I want this team to do well and this season could be an indicator […]
The Spurs camo alternate uniforms have left me speechless
Just not good. So this is how it’s going to be? The Spurs and Adidas have decided to really mess things up. They took last year’s silver alternates and have blended it with a camo print. I don’t know why they think it’s a good idea but they look terrible. The gimmicks from Adidas need […]
Report: Allen Iverson to officially announce retirement Oct. 30
My biggest regret is that I never saw him play live. He was a joy to watch and he was an inspiration to those who weren’t built for the average NBA size. Congratulations A.I. You are on your way to the Hall of Fame. Share this: Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) […]

Phoenix Suns unveil new uniform set but miss the mark because one element is missing
Past, present and future.#NewLookSuns pic.twitter.com/7zcCTCKRoQ — Phoenix Suns (@Suns) August 16, 2013 The Phoenix Suns have new uniforms and they were oh so close to having a great look. Close. As you can see, the sun streak across the front just ends with the number. Unlike the sunburst from their old set, this one just […]
Props to Adidas for their “House of Mutombo” campaign
Life needs more Mutombo. Adidas and Dikembe Mutombo have reunited for a new campaign series promoting the former NBA star’s upbringing and the rebirth of his shoe. Check out the two videos that have been released so far. It’s simple but very funny. After all, Mutombo is so lovable and we just can’t get enough […]
Knicks’ Iman Shumpert raps his own song after finding inspiration from Kendrick Lamar’s powerful verse (NSFW)
Here’s a quick briefing as to what is going on. The music is NSFW. West Coast rapper Kendrick Lamar dropped a very big bomb of a verse in a recently released single with Big Sean. His second verse was brutal in all sense of the word as he called out numerous rappers and essentially called […]
Shame on you NBA for your Latin Nights or whatever you want to call it
¡Qué lástima! Come on Ené-bé-a, this just looks bad and the jerseys are even worse. http://t.co/GcsstlYi1i — Samuel Lam (@SamuelYLam) August 13, 2013 I got so angry I didn’t even spell it right. I’ve been against this promotion for years. Their new logo is another sign of how the NBA gives no true effort to […]
Kevin Durant’s painful, truthful, heartfelt tweet about Seattle
I love and miss Seattle…damn — Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5) August 12, 2013 Kevin Durant’s first and only season in Seattle. The Seattle SuperSonics in their final season in the city, drafted Kevin Durant as the #2 overall pick in 2007. That draft pick would be a major piece of the foundation of what the team […]
Report: Adam Morrison returning to Gonzaga as assistant coach
It’s sad that scouts had him all wrong. Sure he was great in college but he never showed me anything that I thought would translate to the NBA. Unfortunately he was drafted by the Bobcats and never had a great structure to work with. It wasn’t an outstanding top of the draft class anyway. Glad […]
Report: Dwight Howard has made decision, will announce on Twitter this week
Sounds like a very Dwight Howard thing to do. Grab all the attention to himself and his Twitter account, hold five franchises in the wait. I never understood what was so appealing about this guy. Great rebounder and defender, yes. But offensive liability, huge ego and still unsure of his own status in the NBA. […]
Where will Dwight Howard land in free agency? Ranking possible destinations
Dwight Howard is an offensive liability. Sure his defense is good, but that’s it. Can’t shoot the ball, can’t hit free throws, injury history and whines too much. The contract he’ll demand is not worth the headache. Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) […]
