Canada Crashes Out At FIBA
Sep. 3 | A 0-5 record, including a loss to Lebanon, at the FIBA leaves Canadian basketball in utter tatters. How can a country with an NBA team make such a poor account of itself on the international stage? I’m not much interested in blaming the players....
Who’s That In The Background?
Aug. 3 | It's Wade's team Hey look, it’s the three tenors! Wade, James and the other guy!” I don’t know ’bout you guys but I find something “off” with this picture. Notice how it’s Dwayne Wade at the head of thr...
LEBRON WAVES WHITE FLAG
Jul. 10 | I didn’t watch the farce that was Lebron James announcing where the fuck he was finally going to play on ESPIPI. Nor do I, judging by the uber-fluff question posed by Jim Gray asking if ‘Bron still bit his nails, regret it. Reruns of ‘Golden...
A GREAT DEFENSIVE BATTLE; LAKERS WIN NBA TITLE, CELTICS RUN OUT OF GAS

PEOPLE PAY FOR THIS CRAP?
May. 23 | I couldn’t believe what I was seeing in Game 3 of the NBA playoffs between the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic. Basically, the Magic curled up and quit right before a live worldwide audience. I can’t really say much more other than in this...
THE NBA AS THE LAB – LOS ANGELES BOSTON LEAGUE
May. 20 | The NBA is essentially a two-team league. Since 1950, the Minneapolis/Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics have won 32 NBA titles. 32! Moreover, at least one of those two teams have been represented in 38 finals. Staggering. I don’t have a calculator...
KEVIN DURANT’S WORLD
May. 4 | By Alex Curtis-Slep A few weeks back, I wrote a series of articles about players that I considered to be franchise players. The list was meant for the elite. I wanted only the best players in the league and they had to meet a few criteria in order to...
