How far are you willing to go as a fan to show love and appreciation for your favorite player? Typical fans buy jerseys and surround their rooms with posters of the players they support. Others, if they are really into it, may buy up collectible items such as action figures, signed items and basketball cards. Then, there are those that will simply take it to another level that most will only dream of doing. Like this guy, for example:

by

Hey you young whippersnapper!!! Stop flopping, turning the ball over and shooting bad shots. Uncle Drew has spoken. Okay, okay. So, he didn’t lay it out there like that, but he said something.

“i’m sick of all this flippity-flopping around. these young bloods need to get real and learn the fundamentals!” - #UncleDrew

You may not be familiar with Uncle Drew. Perhaps you’re curious why Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving is quoting him…so, let’s break it down. Uncle Drew is Kyrie Irving. It is a marketing campaign that Irving has been doing for Pepsi Max.

Perkins: LeBron is better, but why?

by

MIAMI – LeBron James is averaging 23.9 points, 10 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game. And all things considered, this might end up being the best statistical year of his career. James, the undisputed leader of the Miami Heat’s Big Three, has averaged more points and dished out more assists per game (it’d be a career-best in rebounds). He’s looking like a better player this season. The thing is, it’s tough to say for sure why he’s so good right now. Is

Bernucca: In case you haven’t noticed, Celtics have issues, too

by

While all of the focus has been on the soap opera swirl around the Los Angeles Lakers, the NBA’s other similarly storied franchise has its own set of issues. The Boston Celtics also raised expectations by adding some key pieces in the offseason, then promptly stumbled out of the gate. But there were no death stares, insurrections, coach beheadings or panic moves. But there are some problems in Beantown. Let’s allow team leader Kevin Garnett to explain. “You can’t speed chemistry up,” Garnett said.

Sheridan Hoops MVP Rankings After Week Two

by

Special mention atop this column is deserved for Andre Iguodala, Nicolas Batum and Tony (SLJW) Allen, three of the league’s best man-on-man defenders who all had a chance to guard James Harden over the past week. Not that Harden is a marked man or anything, but after going for 37 and 45 in his first two games — and earning the No. 1 ranking in last week’s edition of these rankings — the guy should strike a personal endorsement deal with

Hubbard: Of Cowboys, Lakers and Jerry Buss

by

When the NBA lockout was announced in the summer of 2011, I was driving the streets of Dallas and checking out the three sports radio stations in the area. I listened briefly to each one to get their take on the major news of the day and then called my basketball cohort Mike Monroe in San Antonio. “Guess what the three sports radio stations are discussing?” I said. “Not the lockout?” wondered Monroe. “Hardly.” “Well then what?” “Two of the three are in animated discussions
