Be Like A Virtual MJ

Yesterday, the kids and I stopped by Gamestop so they could pick out Wii games. As we walked out the door, I caught a glimpse of the Xbox set up and they had some basketball game playing. I’m not the resident gamer so I have no idea which video game it was but the movements [...]

Big Baby Davis Can Do The Dougie?

I’m in too much amazement (and laughter) to really type a post on this. Thankfully, With Leather shares the Uproxx umbrella with us so I’ll just swipe their pic and credit them for the find. Somewhere, Garnett’s probably popping a blood vessel, screaming at the screen while watching this clip of basketball’s favorite little fruitcup, [...]

MJ Says LeBron Took The Easy Way Out

Jul 19th

Posted by TC over at The Smoking Section

Yeah, it’s more LeBronmania but this time, his Royal Airness gives his two shillings on the entire Miami saga. When asked at a charity golf tournament over the weekend, Michael Jordan acknowledged that times have changed but he never would have signed a peace treaty with some of his legendary rivals. “There’s no way, with hindsight, [...]

The Story Of How LeBron Was Won

Jul 18th

Posted by MZ over at The Smoking Section

For all the public speculation about LeBron’s free agency, one could only imagine the inner workings between his camp and all the interested parties vying for his services. Usually, we’d never hear about what really went down until years after the fact, when the books about ‘Bron’s career would begin to surface. Thanks to the [...]

Don’t You Put That Evil On Me, Penny Hardaway

Jul 16th

Posted by J. Tinsley over at The Smoking Section

The picture above? That’s how I choose to remember Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. Aside from that Jordan guy in Chicago, Butch McCrae may have been the most popular player in the league during the ’90s (Grant Hill was close). He was the first of five dominant swingmen that Shaq would go out to play with in [...]

Titi: The Player the Red Bulls Won’t Be Getting

Jul 16th

Posted by Devin Chanda over at The Smoking Section

Every athlete loses a step. In fútbol especially, unless you’re Zidane or Ryan Giggs (or even Gio van Bronckhorst) the difference between mid-20s-prime and early 30s-breakdown is even more glaring, given the game’s reliance on youth. For Thierry Henry, after trading North London for Barcelona in 2007, the Arsenal legend has been on a slow decline [...]

D.C. is a proud sports town, even given the fact they haven’t won anything of significance since the ‘Skins 1991 Superbowl. This summer, however, has allowed the residents and the surrounding areas of Chocolate City to build some sense of hope. They’ve still got the best hockey player on the planet in Alex Ovechkin.

Espy Awards: Amber Rose, Reggie Bush, Bobby Brown, and many fashion fouls

Jul 15th

Posted by Miss Info over at MissInfo.tv

Amber Rose and Emmanuelle Chriqui (Entourage) look very pretty on the ESPYs red carpet. *Double-checks event description. Scratches head.* In the wake of the recent World Cup madness and Lebron-o-Gate, I think I’ve watched more sports and ESPN than maybe ever? And I like it! As for last night’s ESPY awards, well…Some of the skits were [...]

Hi, it’s me, J. Tinsley. Your resident Pacquiao/Mayweather reporter. As it stands, this may be the last time we speak on the subject. We’ve experienced highs and lows, but ultimately been let down in the end when it comes to what would undoubtedly be the biggest fight in years. The sport needs this brawl. The [...]

Nearly 10 million people tuned in to watch LeBron's spectacle of narcissism on Thursday night, according to a Nielsen Co. estimate. Related posts:Two Million People [...]

As the World Cup draws to a close today, we’ve seen a tournament defined by strikers: the disappearance of Rooney, Messi and Drogba. The emergence of Germany’s Thomas Müller & Miroslav Klose’s run at history. Diego Forlán’s one-man show and David Villa’s consistent excellence. In a match-up of teams with similar styles, Villa should again decide [...]

Nothing lasts forever, people. If flushing your goldfish in the toilet didn’t teach you that, then your first breakup certainly did.

All Eyes On King James

I don’t know about you, but I’m so over the NBA’s free agency season right now. I’ve come to realize that I prefer my free agent signings to appear as blurbs across the bottom of ESPN’s screen or as breaking news interrupting diving outfield grabs on SportsCenter. Like most quasi interesting stories, the folks up [...]
