by

If you thought that Miley Cyrus galavanting around in (what was supposed to be) a provocative nude-colored two-piece swimsuit was disturbing, you are not familiar with the WWE.

SH Blog: McGrady retires from the NBA, SVG explains why he is still friends with Dwight Howard

by

When you think about what Tracy McGrady used to be and what he is now, it’s generally considered a sad thing. McGrady, who many believed to be an equal to Kobe Bryant (or better, depending on who you ask) in his prime, just finished the previous season as a bench-warmer with the San Antonio Spurs at the age of 34.
