According to a local newspaper, the Sacramento Kings have filed a lawsuit against the parties involved with the manufacture and distribution of an exercise ball that led to a long-term injury for Kings forward Francisco Garcia in the 2009-10 season. The $4 million product liability suit stems from an incident back in October, 2009 when […]

Time has been good to the San Antonio Spurs. It’s a cliche, sure, but one that partially explains why they get along so well. When I say “they”, I’m not talking about the members of the team getting along with each other – though they do – but the relationship between the franchise and the […]

There was a big change in Chris Bosh this July, when he went to Miami. It wasn’t the new jersey or number or teammates. It was his dreads, or rather, the lack of them. Indeed, it was a clean-cut Bosh who hung out on stage with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. His hair may seem […]

If Paul Millsap fell in the woods, would he make a sound? Trick question. Paul Millsap wouldn’t fall in the woods because he would be too busy shooting 60 percent from the field while playing the role of most underrated basketball player in the NBA and hoarding enough offensive rebounds to sink a small fishing […]

Big Three? What Big Three? Can somebody let me know who makes it three, because it certainly is not Chris Bosh. He doesn’t block many shots. He’s soft and doesn’t play aggressively on defense. He isn’t anything special with his back to the basket either and, simply put, just isn’t an enforcer. Despite these weaknesses, […]

The Los Angeles sports market is the type of place where a clich like “one is never enough” fits. Two professional baseball teams, two professional hockey teams, two professional soccer teams, four professional basketball teams and a bevy of college sports. Amongst this feast of sport is a unique dynamic involving basketball’s Lakers and Clippers. […]

Six years ago, the world was a different place. Barack Obama wasn’t president, Miley Cyrus was 11 years old and Dwight Howard didn’t look like a sentient robot created by the US Army in an attempt to construct a military weapon capable of singlehandedly ending the war on terrorism. Hurricane Katrina hadn’t ruined the gulf […]

Keith Van Horn’s pale, gaunt face haunts me while I sleep. Not in a Paranormal Activity 2 way, but a Charles Dickens-meets-W.P. Kinsella sort of way. Monthly at first, then weekly. Now almost every damn night. So imagine, if you will, falling asleep with the seven-foot silhouette of a man watching you through your doorway, […]

The NBA is changing fast. Uncomfortably fast. And I’m starting to feel like a crotchety old man who needs his professional sports left untouched. Is it too late to bring Mitch Richmond and Rik Smits back? When the Boston Celtics won the 2008 championship with a convoy of ringers, it opened up a can of […]

If you make a song about wolves, I’m going to listen. If you design a t-shirt with the silhouette of a wolf pack howling in the moonlight, I’m going to buy it. And I’ll wear it too; I don’t even care if it’s uncomfortable. So naturally I’ve found myself drawn to a certain basketball franchise […]
