PICS: Nigel Hayes Shares His Expression For Using Kobe Bryant's Locker

Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes is really enjoying March Madness. The Badgers’ forward found out what locker he’ll be using during his team’s Sweet 16 appearance, and he couldn’t contain himself.

What? Adidas Didn't Sign Michael Jordan Because He Was Too Short?

Michael Jordan is 6’6″. In other words, Jordan is very tall and stands at an above average height for a man. But according to Adidas, Jordan was too short to represent their brand back in 1984. When Jordan was coming out of North Carolina and was entering the NBA Draft in 1984, he apparently wanted an […]

Sooo, It Looks Like The New York Yankees Are Running Out Of Jersey Numbers

It must be a tough job to rebuild a team, especially when you don’t have enough jerseys for players to tryout in. Apparently the New York Yankees are encountering a strange problem at spring training this year: they’re running out of jersey numbers. Yes, they are literally running out of numbers to give the players. Seeing how […]

How many of you, when you hear the name “King James”, think of LeBron James? Well, I’m assuming all of you who’ve been watching basketball for the past 10 years would think of LeBron.

VIDEO: So, Marshawn Lynch Is Making A Movie About Marshawn Lynch

I’m still trying to grasp what I just watched. It appears that the player who likes to say so little, is starring (or wants to star) in a movie about himself.
