Team USA Primer VI

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:39:51 +1900

The hype is in full effect for Team America. Redemption, revenge, whatever you want to call it, Team USA is in the mood to dominate. And they're not just going to spank you. LeBron's holding a ball gag and a paddle and Kobe may have just thrown away the piece of paper with the safe-word. But on to the chatter. Of course the ...

Lakers, Kings Not Talking About Artest?

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 16:22:15 +1900

Looks like we might dealing with Artest to Lakers news ‘maybe ’til February. Awesome! Sound-off. ESPN : The Ron Artest to the Lakers talk is more media- and fan-driven than it is Lakers-driven. A source close to the situation told me, “L.A. hasn’t decided that it needs to go out and get Ron. It’s not really committed to making a Ron Artest trade. It would ...

Circum-navigating the world wide web quicker than you can say Sarunas Marciulionis, it's today's warnings, including Yao ain't afraid of nobody, the best of the blogs (that we've had time to read) and the mainstream press' attempts at basketball journalism.

Bryant sees upside and down to off-season moves

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:10:15 +1900

As a businessman, Kobe Bryant understands why the Lakers let Ronny Turiaf walk. The popular forward, a restricted free agent, had received a four-year, $17 million offer sheet from the Golden State Warriors and the Lakers decided not to match it. But as a teammate and basketball player, he thought the decision stunk. “I’m sad about it. [...]

The Euro Menace

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:15:15 +1900

A while back in a list, I wondered what the US economic picture might mean to sports, including notes that leagues in other countries were going to be able to start making competitive runs at free agents. It's already happening now in hoop, though more from currency evaluation than anything else. Carlos Delfino is a reasonable back end of the rotation option, a point with size who can defend ...

2007-08 NBA Worsties: Part 4

Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:18:31 +1900

Donyell Marshall's wardrobe malfunction: Marshall amused his teammates and horrified fans in attendance when he took off both his warm-up shirt and jersey while subbing into a game. Good times. Now watch Lebron go absolutely bonkers over it. I mean, sweet breakdancing Jesus, he was laughing so hard you'd think that Marshall had just gotten a pie in the face and then slipped comically on a ...

Though the two will team up to play for Team USA in the 2008 Olympics, the argument over battle over who is better between LeBron and Kobe remains fervent. Nicole Green uses the Whatifsports supercomputer to find out.

LeBron Witnesses Summer League, Team USA snubs Jerryd Bayless, and Introducing the OKC Thunder

LeBron (photo. Mannion) LeBron was in the crowd for yesterday's Cavs/Hornets game at the Vegas Summer League, which Cleveland lost after giving up crunch-time buckets to Ndudi Ebi and somebody named Larry Owens (Oral Roberts). Funny how LeBron's high school teammate Romeo Travis has barely been getting any PT in Vegas, then all of a sudden [...]

NBA: Celtics sign up Bryant

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:14:32 +1900

And people wonder why I get frustrated with the British media and their obviously blasé approach to basketball coverage. Could this headline be any more misleading? Of course, we're talking about O'Bryant, the Irish version of Kobe's surname...

Investigating Kobe Bryant's Sheath Logo

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 16:53:44 +1900

There's an old saying, "If you win the MVP, people will make a ton of shoes about it." It's not a particularly good saying, but I think it fits. Since the season got over, there have been a ridiculous amount of Kobe Bryant shoes , shirts , and baked goods made available that celebrate his first MVP. This does not trouble me. Kobe is a marketable athlete who is becoming less and less ...

From Jeff McDonald of The San Antonio Express News (via FanHouse ): After struggling all summer with a jammed left ankle that cast his availability for Argentina's national team in doubt, Ginobili told reporters in his home country he was ...

Bigger than You or I, Kobe or LeBron

Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:02:07 +1900

( Yessir, that's a flag made of Hyperdunks. God bless America.) It's no coincidence that most of the MSM has turned into a hype machine for Team USA and that's because these upcoming Olympic Games are the most important we've ever known, in terms of basketball. The Americans had their creation and their domination, and their ultimate tragic fall at the hands of hubris. We've heard it all: ...

Making the case for Ron Artest in LA

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 19:29:59 +1900

Four seasons ago, he was Defensive Player of the Year. During that season, Artest held his offensive targets, including some of the league’s top players, to 8.1 points per game on 9.3 shots per game and 42.6 percent shooting. This can’t be emphasized enough. I know four seasons have passed, but Artest is only 28 years old — a year younger than Kobe Bryant.
