A day at camp is a sweet reminder
posted on July 28, 2010 at 8:36pm

Sweet reminder      Today in camp we had a wrap session with the kids.  We sit them down after lunch to discuss anything on their minds.  They were allowed to ask us questions about basketball or anything else they wanted us to speak about.  Today,...more

On the run
posted on July 26, 2010 at 7:12pm

I just got back from one of my best runs yet.  Since I do not play basketball year round, I enjoy keeping myself in shape with long runs and weight training. And with my long days at camp, coaching 15 nine-year-olds, I definitely feel the need to run off...more

posted on July 25, 2010 at 2:30pm

Our young women didn't surge until late in yesterday's semifinal game against China, but it was enough to put them away, 97-74. The U17s face France in the gold medal today in just a few moments (8:30 a.m. PDT).Fingers crossed!! ...more

The Portland Trail Blazers organization is blatantly sexist
posted on July 21, 2010 at 9:52am

A Black Eyed Peas song is bumping and a group of girls swing their heads from side to side while they perch their hands on their knees. No one pays much attention, except maybe to glance the girls’ way while getting up to refill their micro-brew. The g...more

There is no "I" in team
posted on July 20, 2010 at 5:38pm

For the last month my hometown, Cleveland, Ohio has come to a halt, to hail a King.  I said that I was not going to partake in this whole spectacle.  However, after the "decision" was made, I have changed my perspective on His whole free agent issue.  ...more

Oh Mark Cuban, shut up
posted on July 12, 2010 at 7:15pm

Mark Cuban, NBA big mouth extraordinaire, is bringing his typical sour grapes to the media and everyone else, by insisting that the NBA needs to investigate LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade for tampering for their unprecedented collective signing ...more

I follow women's basketball, of course. Women get overlooked.
posted on July 12, 2010 at 12:55pm

I follow women's basketball, of course. Women get overlooked. They get overshadowed because of men's basketball. They play the game, they play for the love just like we do. And to have a team still in Seattle is definitely a blessing. So of course we s...more

LeBron James has an ego and it’s on Twitter too
posted on July 9, 2010 at 5:22pm

When LeBron James gave himself a Twitter account, he called himself KingJames, of course — or that’s @KingJames, to us subjects. When someone else made up a Twitter account for King LeBron (James.) (Can you stop saying that? Because I can’t. Someth...more

ESPN dishes out big assist to LeBron James
posted on July 9, 2010 at 3:12pm

In devoting one hour of prime-time coverage to LeBron James Thursday night in its “The Decision” special, ESPN further blurred the lines between entertainment and sports journalism. The network effectively ran a 60-minute ad for the LeBron James bran...more

One step forward...
posted on July 9, 2010 at 11:36am

It's not an inaccurate characterization to describe me as a little bit cynical. I know it's a turnoff to some. I do have my hopeful moments, however, and I am not, despite recent opposing beliefs (can you tell I'm still not quite over this, yet?!) an extr...more

LeBron James goes to Miami
posted on July 9, 2010 at 10:45am

After an agonizing day of ESPN and talk radio speculation, LeBron James spent 20 minutes being late to his own press conference and then another five minutes – possibly the longest five minutes of my Twitter life – blah blah blahing until he finally a...more

R.I.P. Manute Bol – We Will Remember You
posted on June 20, 2010 at 11:48am

I was really sad to hear about the passing of Manute Bol yesterday. In my mind he was the epitome of what a professional athlete should strive to be off the court. Bol died at the University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville. No cause of de...more

We are the champions: The Los Angeles Lakers
posted on June 18, 2010 at 4:52pm

The 2010 NBA Finals featured one of the greatest rivalries in sports – the Boston Celtics vs. the Los Angeles Lakers. And the rivalry did not disappoint. To cap off an exciting series, the Lakers won the title in a game 7 thriller. It was a hard fough...more

The NBA Series, by Someone Who Doesn’t Care
posted on June 18, 2010 at 10:00am

Living in LA during the NBA finals can be awful, especially when the Lakers are playing. You see, my favorite NBA team is the Nuggets (long suffering, I know,) OR whoever is beating the Lakers. For the last two days, leading up to tonight’s game, all w...more

A lesson in epically bad... and epically good. Celtics turn in second worst Finals loss in NBA history, Kobe Reminds Us How Good He Is.
posted on June 16, 2010 at 9:29am

Count me in as one who is absolutely stoked there will be a game 7 in the 2010 NBA Finals. This series has been more than I could have asked for;  in a post season that has featured more disappointing and boring outcomes than I can remember,  game 7 ...more

Should Phoenix let go of Amare?
posted on June 9, 2010 at 2:33pm

I didn’t know that Amare Stoudemire was such a greedy bastard. He is going to opt out of his $17 million final year with the Phoenix Suns, because he wants to go where he can get the most money. I can understand the need for money, but I guess the $17 ...more

Yay Celtics?!?
posted on May 30, 2010 at 12:46pm

This basketball series is killing me. I am a Phoenix Suns fan. Also, I am a “Laker hater.” I watch on pins and needles and with bated breath the games between the two teams. I  have to say, I am so excited for game 6 that I can’t even stand it. ...more

Mark Cuban fined for opening his big mouth, again, But was he really tampering with LeBron?
posted on May 25, 2010 at 10:39am

Mark Cuban was recently fined $100,000 for comments he made about LeBron James. I couldn’t imagine what he could have he possibly said to have to pay $100,000. Well, I could, but I didn’t want to think him capable of that. Then I thought that Cuban s...more

Washington Wizards finally catch a break
posted on May 19, 2010 at 5:13pm

The Washington Wizards won the draft lottery, and let’s face it, it is about time something good happened to this team. Hooray Wizards! This means you get to pick first in the 2010 NBA draft, or in other words, please welcome John Wall to Washington! ...more

Lakers trounce Suns. Kobe breaks career record. Odom eats Steve Nash’s legs. (I Made Up The Last One.)
posted on May 18, 2010 at 1:52pm

In Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals last night, the Lakers came off a week long rest and showed about as much rust as a new Lambourghini. Though Lamar Odom didn’t actually eat Steve Nash’s legs, he grabbed nineteen rebounds in the 128-107 victo...more

Lakers/Suns Game Overshadowed by Politics
posted on May 18, 2010 at 10:40am

Last week, the Phoenix Suns wore their “Los Suns” jerseys in protest of the new immigration law in Arizona. OK, fine. I suppose the Suns can do that. Today, the controversy has migrated west to Staples Center in Los Angeles for the start of the Lakers...more
