Steve Nash
Tweet of the Night goes to Steve Nash, who agreed with his new teammate Metta World Peace in regards to how crazy the NBA could have been if twitter existed in the earlier days. It’s safe to say that we are all in agreement with the notion that the league could have been a lot more interesting with a tool like twitter. Today’s athletes are always under the microscope for everything they do, especially when they are megastars like LeBron

Hubbard: Remembering Barcelona, 20 years later

by

Although the current Olympic team won’t cause quite the eruption of the Dream Team in 1992, fans in Barcelona will be quite enthusiastic when Team USA plays exhibition games Sunday against Argentina and Tuesday against Spain. The difference in focus and expectations from 1992, however, are profound. International fans were mesmerized by the Dream Team and couldn’t get enough of their American basketball idols. But never in their wildest dreams did anyone from another country think their team would beat the

SH Blog: Kobe holds court in Barcelona, but LeBron is King of Team USA

by

The two biggest names in this game we love remain Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. And as free agency slows to a crawl after three frenetic weeks, the basketball world’s focus is on Barcelona, Spain, where Bryant, James and the rest of Team USA practiced and held court with the international media, one day before their “friendly” vs. Argentina on Sunday. In terms of popularity, Bryant is the unquestioned king. His jersey is the top seller internationally, while James is third, trailing Derrick Rose.

Pau Gasol
Tweet of the Day goes to Pau Gasol, who expressed his appreciation of Kobe Bryant’s support. Asked by a Spanish reporter about Gasol’s status with the Lakers, Bryant replied, “As long as I’m there, he’s going to be there.” That is a very strong statement by Bryant, given the fact that Gasol was actually traded to the Houston Rockets before the start of last season, until commissioner David Stern nixed the three-team trade that would have sent Chris Paul to

Will LeBron be King of the Hill in Barcelona?

by

BARCELONA — The building pictured to your left is the National Museum of Art of Catalonia, which sits atop one of the highest hills in this Spanish coastal city. To get there from the plaza below, they have a series of outdoor all-weather escalators. You can use those, or you can climb about 500 steps. Behind the museum is the Palau Sant Jordi, the modern arena where Team USA will play Argentina on Sunday night and Spain on Tuesday night. From

Jared Dudley
Tweet of the Night goes to Jared Dudley, who took a playful jab at former teammate Grant Hill after he hashtagged “lobcity” to indicate his official signing with the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s a reasonable jab, given the fact that the seemingly ageless Hill is actually turning 40 before the start of next season. He averaged 10.2 points on 44.6 percent shooting to go with 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists last season. It will be interesting to see how Hill’s body

LeBron James
Tweet of the Day goes to LeBron James, who addressed the devastating shooting catastrophe in Colorado. To summarize, a gunman open-fired at a large crowd of audience watching the premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” at a theater in Aurora. Details can be found on TMZ, and information on the gunman can be found here. Jessica Redfield, an aspiring sports journalist, was one of the victims of the shooting. It is possible that the shooting may have been inspired by
