Kevin Durant Wins NBA MVP & Gets The Cover Of NBA2K15 On The Same Day

May 6, 2014 By Nick A.

Today was Kevin Durant’s day. Not only did the NBA superstar win his first NBA MVP Award after finishing second the past few years to LeBron James, he also was chosen to be on the cover the latest edition of NBA2K15. Since Durant has yet to win a championship, this has to count as the […]

Welp, Mike D'Antoni Resigns As Head Coach Of The Lakers

Just when Los Angeles Lakers’ fans were getting either more annoyed or over it that Mike D’Antoni was in LA to stay, he resigns. According to the Lakers, Mike D’Antoni has resigned from the team and will not be back next season. Earlier this week, USA Today reported that D’Antoni was looking for a little […]

Jamal Crawford Wins His Second NBA Sixth Man Of The Year Award

April 30, 2014 By Nick A.

Jamal Crawford Wins His Second NBA Sixth Man Of The Year Award

I don’t think anyone else came close to challenging Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers for this award this season. Congratulations to Jamal Crawford for winning the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award. With him narrowly missing out on this trophy last year, Crawford becomes only the fourth player in NBA history to […]

We Are One: Los Angeles Clippers & Their Fans Show Up To Play

“We are one.” Those were the only words on the Los Angeles Clippers’ website today after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the NBA for life and fined him $2.5 million. The banishment, with Silver adding later in the press conference that he urges the other NBA owners to vote to […]

Check Out Blake Griffin's New $9 Million Crib

No, Blake Griffin did not actually buy an overpriced baby bed. He bought a house. A really, really nice house. We’re not exactly sure when Griffin had the time to shop for a home, as he and the Los Angeles Clippers are in tough first round battle with the Golden State Warriors (the Clippers are […]

Vince Carter Is Still Clutch

Vince Carter Is Still Clutch

There’s nothing Manu Ginobili could do. He did all he could. With 1.8 seconds left and the Dallas Mavericks down two to the San Antonio Spurs at 106-108, everyone thought the ball was either going to Monta Ellis or Dirk Nowitzki. But with them both covered, they went with the old man, Vince Carter. Here’s […]

Clippers Lose Opener, Blake Griffin Dumps Water On A Fan

April 19, 2014 By Nick A.

Today was a rough one. With the usual weekend chores, hockey playoffs, some baseball games and the NBA Playoffs, I was surely not going to get to all of those items today. So the dishes are going to have to wait until tomorrow. I was lucky enough to catch most of the Los Angeles Clippers […]

What’s With These NBA “Nickname” Jerseys?

April 8, 2014 By Nick A.

I found myself a bit confused when I was watching the Miami Heat/Brooklyn Nets game tonight. I was confused because either I had a really bad case of food poisoning tonight and the names on the players’ jerseys were changing on their own, or the NBA had changed the names of the players for some […]

Joakim Noah’s Dream Team Starting Five Includes Corey Brewer

March 26, 2014 By Nick A.

Joakim Noah is one eccentric, high energy fellow. I think we can all agree on that. His energy on the court is intense and it’s hard to find someone that is more passionate in a game. But when it comes to naming a dream team, Noah is definitely in a world of his own. He […]

Yes, Metta World Peace Compared Ryan Kelly To Kevin Durant

March 25, 2014 By Nick A.

At first, I thought it was just a joke. We’ve all seen and heard Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, make crazy comments in the past. So to hear this, I’m still not taking him seriously and it’s taken me a day to wait to make sure it was serious. It seems like […]
