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 at [...]

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 early [...]

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 to [...]

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 Magic’s health, [...]

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 [...]

About Team USA… and this blog

Some of you may have noticed, It’s been a long time I didn’t write something on my blog. Truth be told, I think a one-month hiatus was more than necessary. Why? Well, the answer is multi-faceted.
Even if my blog encountered a great start (about 4.000 hits in 2 months, that went better than I expected!), I’d say very few [...]

New York signs Patrick Ewing

 
Okay guys the title of the topic is misleading, but I know for a fact a guy named Pat Ewing will be on the Knicks’ roster next season.
It’s obvious I’m not talkin’ about the soon-to-be Hall of Famer. Besides, he has already a gig, namely assistant-coach in Orlando. I’m talking about his son, Patrick Ewing Jr, who got [...]

Tony Parker to play with France

I was stunned when I heard this breaking news! Titular point guard of the San Antonio Spurs, Tony Parker was supposed not to play with his national team this summer. Even though the player was eager to play with France, his team and above all his coach Greg Poppovich were known to be reluctant to that idea, so much so they [...]

Official : Kemp signs in Italy

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been following closely Shawn Kemp’s situation. He was rumored to play ball in Italy, but most people thought it was just a hoax. Well, obviously it wasn’t because Shawn Kemp has officialy reached an agreement with the Italian team Premiata Montegranaro.
Still, it’s a little bit surprising because Kemp didn’t [...]
