Derrick Rose Premier Highlight Video; NBA Businessmen Suck at Life
I'm not even going to acknowledge the headlines from the NBA labor situation yesterday. I'm so effing sick of it. Sick of hearing about it; basically the whole league sucks at life. That's my take on the union de-certifying/David Stern's proposal/players rejecting it. Basically, in a year after record television ratings, the league is going to lose every casual fan they made … [Read more...] about Derrick Rose Premier Highlight Video; NBA Businessmen Suck at Life

But we can talk Darrin Williams, the UIC Center named to the Horizon League preseason all-conference third team. And like Deron Williams, Darrin Williams has had a big impact on … [Read more...] about There’s Deron Williams (Illini, Nets) and Now Darrin Williams (UIC)
Mark Cuban’s NBA Lockout Mouthpiece: Colbert SUPER Pac?
It's about time we had some non-dreary and depressing NBA lockout news. Actually this is fun, comedic lockout news. NBA Commissioner David Stern issued a gag order on the labor situation.
