Yesterday had to be one of the more embarrassing days for Dwight Howard this season. After realizing that he just bent over for the media, Dwight tried to deflect any and all questions with talk of the importance of beating the NY Knicks. Yeah, well last night the Magic smacked by the Knicks. Again. If you’re an Orlando Magic fan, you have got to know that t… Click to read more

In about a month, New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin went from riding the bench in anonymity to become the hottest topic in sports today. One of the lasting legacies of Lin’s amazing story is that he went un-drafted by NBA teams and was almost out of the league after getting cut by the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets. As the media continues “Linsanity” t… Click to read more

This weekend, the NBA All Star festivities are upon us once again. Personally, I’m really excited for it but I totally understand why casual basketball fans aren’t. If you aren’t a serious NBA fan, odds are you have no f*ckin’ idea who the dunk contest participants are. Do the names Jeremy Evans, Chase Budinger, Derrick Williams a… Click to read more

Last week, twenty-four NBA players were chosen to represent the league in the 2012 NBA All Star game in Orlando, Florida. Like many All-Star sporting events, there are going to be players who are deserving of a spot in the game but either due to circumstances outside their control, having a great season on a bad team or being left off the list due to a more high-pr… Click to read more
