Just the other day LeBron James did a Twitter Q&A where he said he would like to play one NFL game before all is said and done. Sunday, his Miami Heat teammate Dwyane Wade did the same, answering questions from fans while on a road trip. These Q&A sessions are no joke, the moment you ask followers, you’re hit by a barrage of questions, trust me. But Wade was able to filter through the majority and find some meaningful questions to
It is bound to happen to most men. Whether it be their daughter or little sister, most guys typically make light of needing a shotgun to fend off the womanizing young beasts knocking down the door. It is the moment in most men’s lives that they fear before it ever comes, watching the little lady in their lives grow up and walk out the door [typically, this action involves some sort of dance (junior prom, senior prom, etc.)].

NBA players are subject to constant autographs and pictures with fans, but what Oklahoma City Thunder forward Nick Collison recently experienced is straight out of the weird category. While using the washroom at a public facility, a male approached and took a picture of the player while urination. I just snatched the phone from a guy who took a picture of me pissing at a urinal. #okc — Nick Collison (@nickcollison4) October 19, 2013 Professional basketball players are no stranger to the oddity of
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.

Other people have a passionate love of inanimate things, generally material possessions. A
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…]
Are the New Orleans Pelicans taking the league by storm? It’s only preseason, but they are undefeated thus far with a record of 5-0 after beating the Oklahoma City Thunder 105-102 on Thursday. Four of those games have been on the road, and all of them went down to the wire – the largest margin of victory was four points against the Orlando Magic. October is the time when teams experiment and try combinations with players that will seldom see any playing
The greatest figures in the sociopolitical past of our nation have their legends etched not only in our history books, but also in our calendars—Martin Luther King, Jr. and George Washington are among the most notable. Such honor is not bestowed upon the best entertainers in our nation’s history, but it doesn’t mean that they cannot be celebrated. Celebrate is exactly what NBA free agent guard Richard “Rip” Hamilton did Thursday. [Read more…]
After a year-long absence, Derrick Rose finally made his debut at the United Center for a rousing ovation on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons. The point guard did not disappoint, scoring 22 points in 22 minutes and doing acrobatic stuff like this. There were questions heading into the preseason about whether Rose would be as explosive as he was prior to his knee surgery, but with each passing game, he has put those questions to rest. His college coach John Calipari saw
