Tweet of the Day: Shane Battier (via Tom Haberstroh)

by

Mark Cuban made headlines Tuesday when he said that he’d be willing to give Baylor Lady Bears’ star Brittney Griner a shot if she were the best available talent in the second round of the 2013 NBA Draft. Since then, there has been a steady stream of both opposition and optimism that a woman might one day be drafted into the NBA. ESPN’s Tom Haberstroh spoke with Miami Heat small forward Shane Battier about it.

Shane Battier was asked if a female trying out would be a sideshow. “Listen, this whole thing is a sideshow. What’s one more trailer?"

Tweet of the Night: Metta World Peace

by

By now, most of you are probably aware of Rutgers University basketball head coach Mike Rice. He’s the guy that has been under a world of scrutiny after video footage was released of what he did to the players he coached: Obviously, this kind of behavior is not condoned by most. It’s one thing to be greatly passionate about what you teach, but when you start physically abusing your players by kicking and throwing the ball at them, you’ve crossed the

Tweet of the Day: Jason Richardson

by

What’s big in the media right now? Scandal. No, not the popular television show, Rutgers basketball. The Scarlet Knights are making waves Wednesday after firing their head coach Mike Rice. Rice, who appeared in a video on ESPN’s Outside the Lines abusing his players during practice, was terminated by the school today. A few NBA players spoke up about the scandal on Twitter, including Philadelphia 76ers guard Jason Richardson.

I have to applaud the kids on the Rutgers team 4 having self control during those practices. If it was me would of been a diff story on SC.

Tweet of the Night: Courtney Lee

by

Did fans throw some hate messages towards Boston Celtics forward Courtney Lee? After suffering a 110-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, their second consecutive loss and seventh loss in the last nine games, Lee shared his words of frustration on twitter for whatever impatience he may have heard from writers or fans. Here is what he had to say:

Don't trip about these games we want to win but we're short handed, knock the rust off in time for this post season run!!!

It may sound like an excuse, but Lee has a point: Kevin Garnett, the backbone of the Celtics defense, has

Tweet of the Day: Kobe Bryant

by

Kobe Bryant has never been interested in making friends. He’s always made that very clear. But he did go out of his way to send some kind words to Kevin Ware, the Louisville guard who suffered one of the most grotesque injuries in recent sports history Sunday against Duke in the Midwest Regional Final. In the spirit of April Fools, Bryant was duped by a fake Kevin Ware twitter account — KevinWare_5 — to which he directed his wishes to get well.
