The New York Knicks already got the Man Up Monday treatment back in 2008 when they cleared out their entire roster to with the LeBron James sweepstakes. We all know how that turned out.
Sure, the Knicks got Amare Staudemire in the Free Agency bonanza of 2010, but they didn’t get much else. If they are [...]

Dan Gilbert should now be known as the “Mad Owner”, because he really felt the need to “Tell em why you mad son” when LeBron left Cleveland. I mean sure, his franchise probably just lost 25 percent of its value last Friday. Sure, the 2010 free agent season is basically over and all the marquee [...]

@Be You and me are eye to eye on this one but I’m gonna go a little bit harder
I had this “Lebron is gonna be playing in D-Wade’s shadow” argument for 4 hours last night and i realized that the only ones spouting this gahbage were Knicks fans. I’ll explain why Lebron’s [...]

Time for some Us Versus Them theme music, I’ll keep it extra terrible too.
Two years of speculation are finally over. LeBron James is going to the Heat. Why exactly did LeBron need an hour special to give the least energetic, most wooden interview ever? I mean that sucked. Was there anything more surreal the watching [...]

I like Carlos Boozer, I really do. He’s Duke. He’s a damn near guaranteed 20 and 10 guy. I think LeBron might already have a ring if he had stayed in Cleveland. He definitely makes the Bulls better. But this is the most unfortunate combination of picture and headline that have ever been put together.
Damn, [...]

Usually no one cares about the NBA during the off season. The Finals end, the draft lets you know where all the young kids are going, and you can hang it up until the season starts in the Fall. This season it is a little different.
King James is on the street along with Dwayne Wade, [...]

The Lakers must be UvT fans because the supporting cast stepped up and made the championship happen even when Kobe was less than Jordanesque Kobesque. They came back from the 3-2 deficit to give Phil Jackson number 11 and Kobe number 5. The greatest part of the championship was the Ron Artest interview.
That is long, [...]

They did it. It wasn’t pretty, but the Los Angeles Lakers got the job done. Ron Artest somehow scored 20 while looking like he didn’t know what the hell was going on until he hit that 3 in the 4th quarter. Pau Gasol might have the best look like you are drawing a foul game [...]

We’re going to game 7. Sheed can’t believe it.
You’re right. I just wanted an excuse to use my new and improved “Sheed Face”.
Can he really be surprised after all these years?

The NBA Playoffs are really kicking up now. The Celtics are up 3-2 and every single game is an elimination game. The Lakers caught a Man Up last week because all the role players needed to step up. All of Us know what happened next, the Lakers did exactly what I said they were going [...]

Man Up Monday usually comes out after someone doesn’t step up, but this week we are going to do a proactive Man Up Monday. I need to talk to the rest of the Lakers. Have you seen this dude?
Sometime in the last two seasons the Black Mamba decided to break out the venomous fangs when [...]

Let the great LeBron debate begin. It all started in the pivotal Game 5 versus the Celtics. The game where everyone thought the Chosen 1 was going to simply assert his will on the game. A game that wouldn’t have even been pivotal if it wasn’t for an once in a generation performance from Rajon [...]

The fallout of Kobe Bryant’s bad, bad decision to be the White Mamba in that fashion shoot is still going. Who knew fans in Utah were so funny?
That picture in the hat is going to be a classic forever. Does Kobe realize he’s made a mistake when he sees this in the stands?
Plus, the photoshoppers [...]

I don’t have a single crew for Man Up Monday this week, I’ve got a whole crew of ‘em . I’ve got to start with the Atlanta Hawks though. There are a few times in sports when “pros” are now performing professionally. This is one of those times. When Orlando beat the hell out of [...]

The NBA Playoffs have started and people are already playing real NBA basketball. It is no Mid-1980’s type physical action, it is no Oakley vs. Mourning, but it will do. So the first real scuffle of the playoffs went down in Boston last night in the Heat vs. Celtics game. Paul Pierce went down with [...]

I’ll admit it. I got sucked in by the UConn women and their quest for greatness. They were really killing other squads. When you win an elite 8 game 90-40, you are playing a completely different sport. But then in the national championship game, these chick scored 12 points in the first half. That is [...]

Somewhere a fire burns on West campus, tomorrow morning there will not be a single scrap of a wood bench left on campus because Duke has won the national championship.
Damn it feels good to be a Blue Devil right now. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t expect a championship out of this team. I [...]

First of All, I’m going to start by telling all the haters to Man Up. Duke is back in the Final Four.
So break out the conspiracy theories about the easy bracket, add a layer of “who the NCAA wants to win”, and rub it down with some Coach K is in the with refs, and [...]

I don’t even know what to say. I guess this is why they call it March Madness, but I don’t remember a tournament this exciting in a long, long time. I wasn’t one of those people glued to the TV from Thursday at noon to Sunday night, but I saw plenty. I think Cole Aldrich [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
