If you haven’t heard about Canadian pop star Justin Bieber’s infamous DUI earlier this week, you must be living under a rock. Early Thursday morning Bieber was pulled over while drag racing in Miami Beach. Police noticed he had been drinking and asked him to step out of the vehicle, upon doing so a small struggle ensued and he was placed under arrest. Bieber was later charged with driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and using an invalid driver’s licence. In a world
NBA players react to Carmelo Anthony’s historical night
It has been a down year of sorts for Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. After coming off a year in which they were the second best team in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have struggled mightily to a 16-27 record – fifth-worst in the conference. With news that offseason acquisition Andrea Bargnani would be out indefinitely due to a torn elbow ligament, some wondered whether the team’s fortunes would turn for the better. The reason? Anthony would return to the
Tweet of the Day: Jeremy Lin And Volvo Produce Training Regimen
Nearly two years ago, March of 2012, Volvo decided to cash in on the growing popularity of then New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin. The central figure of the national Linsanity craze chose to sign with Volvo because their vehicles and branding were, as he described it, “high quality but … also affordable and relatable.” 22 months later, the now Houston Rockets guard and the Chinese-owned car company have paired up to create a comical ad campaign centered around a new
Players around the league react to All-Star voting results
After months of anticipation, the All-Star voting results finally came in on Thursday, courtesy of NBA on TNT. There were plenty of expected names on the roster like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Blake Griffin, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and (gulp) Kobe Bryant. There were also plenty of first-timers like Stephen Curry – receiver of the fourth most votes in the league – along with Kevin Love, Paul George and Kyrie Irving. [Read more…]
Tweet of the Day: Mark Cuban Hosts More Birds Than A Sanctuary
Somethings cannot be explained—except by the person doing them. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban often does—or says—things that he alone can explain. At times, the best way to explain something he has done is an indirect way of explaining nothing at all: Mark Cuban is going to do Mark Cuban things. Thursday brought with it another such moment when the Cuban took to Twitter to explain his acceptance and tolerance of the middle finger. [Read more…]
Tweet of the Night: Players Rave About Kevin Durant’s Recent Play
Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant is on an indomitable scoring tear while leading his team to five consecutive wins. Over the course of that stretch, he has averaged 40.4 points per contest—including a 54 point outing against the Golden State Warriors. Additionally, Durant has scored 30 or more points in nine consecutive games. Not only is he putting up big numbers, he is being exceptionally efficient at it. He is shooting 52.6 percent from the floor and over 39 percent from
Tweet of the Night: Damian Lillard and other players around the league react to Kevin Durant’s ridiculous shooting display
Kevin Durant has been single-handedly putting teams away on offense since Russell Westbrook’s knee surgery, and his performances are starting to become historically good. No really. This is starting to get ridiculous, even for him. The forward was having another terrific season heading into January, but one could argue it was not necessarily much better than what he did last season. Through the month of December, Durant averaged 28.3 points per game – in line with the 28.1 points he averaged last
Tweet of the Night: Isaiah Thomas emphasizes what’s most important on the floor
Not unlike seasons of recent past, the Sacramento Kings are one of the worst teams in the league. Despite a career year from DeMarcus Cousins and despite a mid-season trade that brought in the topical Rudy Gay, the Kings are just 14-25 on the season – second worst in the Western Conference. If there is one positive to take away from another season headed for the lottery (other than a lottery pick), it’s the breakout year that 5’9″ guard Isaiah Thomas
