Warriors game recap at Charlotte

What a letdown! After a promising homestand at the Oracle Arena against 2 top-teams like Miami and Orlando (Golden State defeated Miami after being trailed by 17 in the 3rd quarter and hold their own against the Magic, losing only down to the wire), the Warriors tackled last night the 1st game of their road [...]

European Basketball

Hi all! It’s been a long time since I’ve written anything here… I’d be a liar if I was saying I was pretty busy lately… I guess I was just outta inspiration. Anyway, it just dawned on me that I’ve never explained how Basketball became a real passion. Quite awkward when you write a basketball [...]

Stephon Marbury to Boston

About time! Last tuesday, Marbury and the NY Knicks finally ended their feud and reached an agreement to part ways. And yesterday, Marbury signed with Boston for the remainder of the season. Just for the record, he played his very first game last night against the Pacers and tallied 8 points in about 13 minutes. To be honest, [...]

NBA comebacks bug me…

Here we are again. Once again, a former player intends to make a comeback. This trend just ticks me off! This time, it’s the former Utah Jazz player Russell who seeks to step-back on an NBA court. I don’t know what you guys think about it, but in my view it’s just ludicrous. I mean [...]

3 pts shots : a crash course with Craig Hodges !

Hi all! It’s been a long time, huh?! I’m far from being a youtube addict, but while I was surfing aimlessly on this site yesterday I found one of the most amazing video I’ve ever seen! Youngsters have probably never heard of Craig Hodges, a former player who made a name for himself in the [...]

Watch D-League games for free

Don’t know if you guys have ever noticed that before, but the fact is you can can watch all D-League games for free, including live and past games. Ain’t that great? If anything, it’s kind of similar to the famous and upscale ”NBA League Pass”, except that D-league games are utterly free of charge. It’s a great way [...]

Magic Johnson’s book

  I haven’t sticked around lately, and I thank you guys for being faithful to my blog. Anyway, I’d like to draw your attention on a new book who hit bookstores a couple weeks ago. You guys are probably aware that Magic has just released his latest book. It’s entitled “32 Ways to Be a [...]

Greg Oden got injured again

I was curious to see how Greg Oden would handle his first steps in the League. Think about it : the guy was the top pick in the ’07 draft, and eventually missed his whole first season, due to an injured knee. He worked at double speed this summer so as to be ready for the season [...]

Magic Johnson faked AIDS?

Unbelievable stories pop up every now and then. But this one involving Magic Johnson’s health is far from being laughable. Actually, I kinda went off the deep end when I read about it. First of all, here are the names of the 2 infamous culprits: Chris Baker and Langdon Perry of KTLK radio in Minneapolis. Those two morons just queried [...]

Watch out for J.J. Redick!

I’ve been following J.J. Redick’s career ever since he played in College (Duke). At the time, he was downright a superstar over there. Think about it : the guy finished all-time leading scorer in Duke and the ACC, and even breaking the NCAA record for career 3 points made. He was typically a white basketball player: not very athletic, but [...]
