For over three months the NBA lockout inconvenienced just about anybody associated with the game, and video game developer 2K Sports has been spared of no such hassle. With a non-existent collective bargaining agreement and little progress from offseason negotiations, 2K Sports has had to get creative with NBA 2K12. But how long will that last?

The NBA lockout has waged on to the point where a sub-82-game season is a distinct possibility (if we see a season at all). Recently David Stern mentioned the possibility of pushing a full-length campaign into the summer if a resolution is met this fall, but while the commissioner was skeptical of the logistics of such an endeavor, it may just be the best idea they’ve had in months.

Rick Adelman has been there before. He’s led winners, losers and everyone in between, he’s developed youth, he’s channeled versatility and he’s been questioned along the way.

When it comes to fantasy basketball, I’d like to think of myself as an optimist. I believe that, despite all of the glaring signs that point to there being no season, or a half season, that Billy Hunter and the fat cat owners will come to their senses and deliver us from the despair of […]

Sociologists are quick to assume that young people these days have lax attitudes towards their relationships. I, personally, would say the opposite is true and argue that what may seem to be casual relationships to some are rather brimming with passion. The complexities of my own multi-year relationship with the NBA serve as a case […]

In 2003 the Lakers were a team that won three of the last four NBA championships. Well actually to clarify, saying that they “won” the championship would imply that there was a chance they could actually “lose” it, which in fact may or may not be true.
