Man Up Monday: Syracuse Basketball – Kyle Kuric Gets Loose!
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, March 8th, 2010

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 [...]

Come On Bruh! Jason Richardson
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

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 [...]

Damn Homey: Scottie Pippen
Posted by Brock Hardon | Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

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 [...]

Dwight Howard’s WAG is a Classy Lady
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

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 [...]

Joachim Noah is One of Us

Sure the kid is a clown, and he dances like this:

But anyone who can hold a cell phone and two Bud Light’s in one hand is good with me.

The NBA Ushers In the Superteam Era
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Lovable Losers Edition
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, July 6th, 2009

I was watching that epic match at Wimbledon on Sunday morning when I finally saw the stats for Andy Roddick versus Roger Federer.  I had always just thought of Roddick as a mentally weak loser (no James Blake) but then I realized that Roddick is now 2-19 against Federer.  He’s not a loser, he is [...]

NBA Draft: Things Are Getting Wild
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, June 26th, 2009

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.  [...]

There is No “I” in Team…But There Ain’t No “We” Either…
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, June 19th, 2009

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 [...]

Lamar Odom is on that Stuff
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Cleveland Cavaliers
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, June 1st, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Deeeeeeetroooit Basssssketbaaaaallll
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, April 27th, 2009

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 [...]

Come On Bruh: Defense
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, April 16th, 2009

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 [...]

Andrew Bynum is Ready to Play, Boy!
Posted by Brock Hardon | Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Duke Blue Devils
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, March 23rd, 2009

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 [...]

Marbury to the Celtics?!?!?
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, January 27th, 2009

Let’s see, you are the defending world champs, had a damn near record setting start to the season, retained most of your great players, and are still leading the Atlantic division at 37-9?  Doesn’t quite sound like a debacle to me, but Doc Rivers, do you have any ideas?

I know!  Let’s go get one of [...]

Stupid Athlete Injuries: Derrick Rose
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

There are so many great stupid sports injuries out there.  Like when Bill Gramatica hit a field goal, jumped in the air with a wild kick and blew his ACL.  Or one of my favorites, when Gus Frerotte scored a touchdown and headbutted the wall in the end zone, compressing the vertebrae in his neck.  [...]

Dunking Dancers: Good or Terrible?
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, December 5th, 2008

Lake and I were talking about pro cheerleaders today and decided that the College cheerleader is the superior specimen.  The pro cheerleader tends to be the dance team chick, not the cheerleading chick.
But then I found this subcategory of the cheerleader.
The Dunking Dancer:

That is the least sexy picture of a woman holding two balls with [...]

Man Up Monday: The NY Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, November 24th, 2008

Well damn.  I guess it is on.

The NY Knicks straight cleared house this week, dumping Zach Randolph to the Clips and Jamal Crawford to Golden State, oh and clearing $27.5 milli off the books.  They’ve also got the worlds highest paid bench warmer coming off the books next year which will clear out another $21.1.  [...]

Detroit Pistons: Allen Iverson is Back in the East
Posted by Brock Hardon | Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Basketball season isn’t even a week old and we’ve already got a blockbuster trade.  Chauncey Billups, team captain and perennial all-star just got traded to Denver for Allen Iverson.

I like Joe Dumars shaking things up, but I’m not quite sure about this one.  A.I., Rip Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince?  That has to be the skinniest [...]

Isiah Thomas: From Piston to Passed Out
Posted by Brock Hardon | Friday, October 31st, 2008

Oh no Zeke, say it ain’t so.

Get this.  National Champ at Indiana, two-time NBA Champion, 12 time all star, one of the greatest point guards of all time, Coach of the pacers and Knicks was just alledgedly picked up and taken to the hospital after being found unconscious and not breathing at his house.  Come [...]
