In the NBA, Size Really Matters
Jul 04, 2008 | 12:12PM | Regicide
The supposedly unconventional belief that 'size doesn't matter' has become so normal these days that it isn't even questioned. Sure, we laud players like Kevin Durant for their wing-spans, and players like Yao Ming for their h... Read More

One of Those Drafts
Jun 28, 2008 | 12:18PM | spanish_jam
Now that I've watched the first round of the NBA Draft, and read a bunch of the draft winners and losers columns, I think I've concluded on an easy way to wrap up this draft: They're all losers. I'm not really excited about anybody in this draft class. I have a feeling that in a fe... Read More

Kobe's Retort
Jun 24, 2008 | 11:27AM | pdloos
So the Big Fella got me, I’m still a ring short
But I’m the one that’s still gettin it done on the court
See I still got time, cuz I’m 29
But for the Big Has-Been it’s the end of the line
He big, he’s slow, he’s dumb and 36
And his last two rings came with the help of a fix
And we also all know what Shaq can’t do
See, Shaq can’t win without a Hall of Fame 2
That’s right, Shaq can’t win without a Hall of Fame 2
Last time I checked, I was the league MVP
While Shaq was watching me on his flat-screen TV
See, I led my team to a #1 seed
While Shaq led his to the worst mark in the league
But he couldn’t be a man and share the blame
So he trashed his own team and put ‘em all to shame
And once again he proved what he can’t do
That’s right, Shaq can’t win without a Hall-of-Fame 2
Shaq can’t win without a Hall-of-Fame 2
And so Shaq bailed and let the bad aura linger,
While pledging to the Suns to put a ring on their finger
But instead he went out meekly in round number one
And just like that, his promise was done
So join me now in raising a glass
And raise right up the fat ####’s ####
Because we all know what Shaq can’t do
Shaq can’t win without a Hall-of-Fame 2
That’s right Shaq can’t win without a Hall-of-Fame 2 Read More

Even, Stevens?!!! LA vs SA - How does my man Joey Crawford Grade out!???
May 27, 2008 | 9:12PM | deucethediesel
How is Joey Crawford refereeing in the NBA playoffs, let alone in the NBA period? I will go out on a limb, and say it is IMPOSSIBLE for Kobe, while being guarded by Bruce (Edward Scissorhands) Bowen to not shoot one free-throw an entire game! Along with the blatant no call on the travel of Duncan toward the end of the first half, to the FOUL on THE FLOOR by Derek Fisher at the end of the game, I guess it all evens out? He (and many other officials) but Crawford most au####iously, makes blatant non calls and seemingly make-up calls during the course of the game. Laker Fan is obviously happy because of the blatant home cooking that was overcome tonight an... Read More
