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 [...]
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 [...]
Scottie Pippen has six rings in the hopper, he was named one of the 50 greatest players of all time. Some argue that Scottie would not have been in the top 50 if it wasn’t for Michael Jordan…but there are others who say that MJ might not have been the same without Pippen. He was [...]
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. [...]
Come on meng. Why would Magic Johnson come out with a book complaining about Zeke’s allegations that he was gay?
Need I remind Johnson that:
1. He used to kiss Zeke before every game
2. He is, in fact, HIV positive (hey, check them statistics)
3. He rocked the tightest nut huggers this side of John Stockton
4. That he’s [...]
Come on mayne. Jay Z put Marcy on the map, he put Brooklyn on his back, he mumble mumble mumble, he let diddy do his tracks… I mean, he put on for his CITY, that’s a muthafockin fact. But LAMAR..Helloooooo. You put Not Kim on. Why?
Haaaa, I mean, look at her [...]
Well, it looks like someone finally told Lamar Odom that all this time he’s been banging out Khloe Kardashian, NOT Kim….
I mean, what in the hell is wrong with these NBA cats? It’s one thing to go ahead and date this broad. I mean, she is Kim’s sister.
Her pops did get OJ off:
But that’s where [...]
Damn, there’s something about the sensitive thug taking his shirts off. I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but it’s never a good thing. I know money and fame isn’t everything. I get that it doesn’t guarantee happiness. But, Stephon Marbury, can I simply ask that you not cat up and then broadcast it for [...]
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 [...]
