I can’t hate on Syracuse basketball. It is hard to be the #1 team in the country. Everyone is gunning for you, everyone gives you their best shot, if you lose on someone else’s floor you get the automatic floor rush from the students.
That feeling sucks. Well Syracuse got a great first half [...]

Phoenix and San Antonio was in the last minute of the 4th quarter, when Phoenix got a steal when they were just down 2. They got it up to the back to back 2002-2003 dunk contest winner for an uncontested basket ahead of the field. Check out Jason’s finish.
Aw damn, come on bruh, that is [...]

While I love the Duke – Carolina game, I’m not particularly hype for this game. I feel like with the personnel we have, instead of a hype, fight it out game, it is going to be a glorified version of this:
Also, Duke is in a “can’t win” situation. If we win, Carolina is having a [...]

Maybe not WAG, but she is his baby momma and now I know how she got the job. Her Name is Royce Reed.
Aw man, she was a Magic dancer too? This is the worst baby mama story ever. Everyone knows you can’t look at your own dancers, that is the #1 rule.
But no, Dwight didn’t [...]

On Monday, Gilbert Arenas was simply an idiot for packing gun in his locker and pulling a gun on a brother named Javaris. Today, he is an idiot who really doesn’t get it who got indefinitely suspended from his job. Why did David Stern go all Roger Goodell on Pacman Jones on Gilbert Arenas? Because [...]

Allen Iverson still thinks he’s got it. He is demanding to start, he retired when he thought he could not start. Then he went to Philly, and is trying to bring it back like it is 2000. Unfortunately…it is not.
I guess Rodney Stuckey wanted to let him know why he started over AI last year. [...]

Michael Jordan’s son Marcus is a freshman at University of Central Florida.
He’s got the MJ shoulder tattoos, he’s got his dad’s guns and he’s ready to play ball. He sparked off a lot of controversy when he showed up to his school, sponsored by Adidas, and let them know that he needed to rock a [...]

Now see. When it comes to everything sports related (other than picking actual winners to games, fights, or races, I’m actually pretty turrible at that) I am a damn sports Svengali. I predicted two weeks ago that NBA teams were going to have to be “superteams” in order to get it done for the next [...]

I don’t remember an NBA Draft that has had this much action around it. I thought 2010 was supposed to be the wild free agent season…you know when the Knicks get LeBron (AHNT). But going into the draft, players started flying all over the place. The Spurs picked up Richard Jefferson. ATL got Jamal Crawford. [...]

Defense wins championships, and it takes a whole team to win. So the Lakers won the Championship on Sunday and the whole team was there to celebrate. Mean I really love the Lakers. Now that is a real team. Guys all working together to achieve a common goal. Everyone jumps in the trenches together where [...]

1. Like Superman, Dwight Howard has hands of steel
Hey, I like DooooooWight, but homey has LOTS of improvement to do. He’s crazy athletic, but if it aint a dunk/layup, dude can’t really do much on the offensive side.
2. Steven A. Smith must have been put into witness protection
No doubt, the worst profile in all of [...]

People always ask me how I find the things I find. Honestly I don’t know, the internet for me is like some bizarro version of the matrix, I see things others don’t. I was stumbling around looking for pics last night when I found this, and it might be one of the biggest repositories of [...]

It doesn’t matter what sport it is, there is always some ridiculous story about some player that becomes a complete distraction during the playoffs. This year they really went to the well on this one, the story of the moment is how Lamar Odom sucks because he is addicted to sugar and candy and that [...]

Awwwwww damn. I really didn’t think this would happen. I’ve been saying for weeks that the Cavs were good, but I didn’t really understand why. Now I know why, it is because they weren’t that good. Everyone said the media wanted Kobe v. LeBron in the finals like it was a bad thing. Hell, I [...]

Damn, it doesn’t take long does it? The Detroit Pistons got the Championship back in 2004. Got to the Eastern Conference Championships 5 or 6 times in a row and dominated a relatively weak Eastern Conference for most of this decade. They were the poster child for the team with no stars, although 4 out [...]

I started Come On Bruh when I had to start defining what it meant to be one of Us to the brothers out there. I shouldn’t have to do this. But brothers clearly need guidance in this day and age. So think of this as my little personal affirmative action program to help brothers keep [...]

After winning the Eastern Region with a decisive victory over Pitt, the Duke Blue Devils, led by the superstar Junior Point Guard, Power Forward, Bench Coach and Demigod, Jon Scheyer, seem poised to cut the nets down in Detroit.
When axed about his great accomplishment and complete dominance of Levance Fields with his stunning athleticism, lazer [...]

Andrew Bynum is the starting center for the Los Angeles Lakers, he brings heart and size and youth, and another six fouls when the Lakers play the big boys.
In my opinion, he was also the difference maker in the NBA Finals last year. And by difference maker, I mean his absence is the reason the [...]

Usually, Man Up Monday is about someone who has already messed up. This time I’m getting it in early. Sure, some people think I should have busted out the Man Up Monday on the boys in blue two weeks ago when Carolina hammered us…again. But I wasn’t ready. Since then we’ve won five games in [...]

Lake dropped the “Kutter 2″ on you yesterday. But everyone is getting into the shoe game. I’m a Nike guy myself. So in honor of March Madness, let’s roll that Coach K.
Thank God they finally upgraded the Blue Devil. The old school, big headed, soft Blue Devil was terrible. True story, I ripped the goatee [...]

Ask and you shall receive. I know you cats think you have advanced basketball minds. I know you love hating on Duke.
And most of all, you cats really enjoy picking the most obvious team to win, so now we’ve got the real deal set up to truly separate the Us from Them.

The brackets are set. The conference championships are over. Every loss from this point forward sends your ass packing. Which is kinda dangerous, because with the exception of Louisville, Memphis and, ahem…the Duke Blue Devils, every single Team in the Top 10 caught it in the jaw.
#1 Carolina Tarheels? Peaced out to barely in the [...]

For all of you supposed arm chair basketball aficionados, the day has finally come when true UvT cats are able to separate “Us” from “Them.” Dasrite, this year we’ll be starting our first installment of the UvT Tournament Challenge, brought to you by Thick White Chicks, T-Pain’s Autotune machine and Kwame Kilpatrick’s jaw piece.

Stephon Marbury was (released? traded? dropped and picked up? Banished?) to the Celtics last weekend and has already played in a few games. We debated here a few weeks ago if Steph still had it. I figured he might be done after turning 32 and spending a year on the sidelines, but he looks like [...]

I thought it was bad when I found out that Charles Barkley was going to jail. Bu-bu-bu-but wait it gets worse!
I told you yesterday that Arizona has very strict DUI laws. I don’t disagree with it. If you are a first timer, you are going to jail for at least a night, no questions asked. [...]
