Hey! Whatever Happened to Shawn Bradley?

3. July 2008

Shawn Bradley is, and always has been, more than just astonishingly tall.

With the NBA getting its draft on in the Big Apple tonight, most basketball fans will tune in to see the glitz and glamour of David Stern’s version of the Price is Right, with young men, some fresh outta’ their freshman seasons, making their services available for millions. Everyone knows pretty much that the top tier, [...]

At the conclusion of every NBA season, the media carnival comes to town, but this county fair has only one ride, the “coaching carousel”. In the next few weeks, you’ll see Larry Brown, a Van Gundy, and some other guys’ names spinning around, waiting to get scooped up by a team. What you’ll see often however, [...]

With all the hoopla surrounding the Rolls Royce Silver Spurs’ dismantling of King James’ Chevy Cavaliers, Ryan posted some pure comedic gold a few days ago when he found a pic of Michael Dickerson’s basketball board game. Never mind the fact that nobody plays board games anymore, it was Michael Dickerson, on the cover of a [...]

With NBA Armageddon (aka the Finals) getting underway by the Riverwalk in Texas, I harkened back to (actually, I just remembered), some of the great role players San Antone has had over the years. As I was telling one of my boys the other day, the Spurs, for over a decade now, has been a “money [...]

In the annals of NBA playoff history, most remember the high profile matchups towards the month of June, more so than the early round, 4-games-to-one whoopings.

Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave, or even worse, watching the NHL, you know that this year has been bonkers.
