Tweet of the Night: Roy Hibbert Has Unorthodox Love Affair

by

Some people are idealists—deeply passionate about life and other people. They love to love and be loved and they love the idea of love itself. There are some people who have misguided or misplaced love. One such example might be overzealous fans who are fiercely passionate about their sports team or favorite singer or celebrity, though that team, singer or celebrity most likely does not even that they exist. Other people have a passionate love of inanimate things, generally material possessions. A

Tweet of the Day: Damian Lillard Leads the Charge on 4 Bar Friday

by

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard and a few other NBA athletes took to Instagram to record four bars of freestyle rhymes for what is being touted as #4BarFriday. Some of the rhymes are pretty nice, especially Indiana Pacers swingman Paul George. On the flip-side, NBA writer/analyst Ric Bucher should probably stick to his day job. What follows may be perceived as anything from very entertaining to, perhaps, downright unethical. Enjoy. [Read more…]

Tweet of the Day: Players Take Issue with ESPN’s #NBARank

by

Anytime expert analysts and writers are tasked with ranking the competitors within their industry, unless it is based solely on statistics and analytics, people will always find fault with them. Such is life. No one can perfectly judge a group of individuals—much less 500 of them—when weighing their value, ability, talent and skill when using a blend of factual numbers and subjective opinions and biases. Yet, that seems to be the expectation. Once again, while compiling its complete 1-500 NBA preseason player rankings, the

NBA Players’ Response and Support for Adrian Peterson

by

There are many tragedies in life that many hope to never have to experience. One of the saddest realities in life is that of a parent outliving their child. There are also many things—evil, terrible things—that no one should ever have to bear in life. The worst of which, perhaps for a parent, is harm inflicted on their child at the hands of a criminal—whether verbal, physical or sexual abuse or even abduction or death. The burden of knowing that your child suffered such

Tweet of the Night: Welcome to the Paul Family Feud

by

On June 16, 1858, newly elected senator Abraham Lincoln addressed 1,000 people at the Republican State Convention in Springfield, Illinois. His words were succinct and to the point, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” A simple moral truth found in the bible:  “Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” [Matthew 12:25] That is, unless you’re in the Paul family. All is right in the
