NBA Superstars Are 1) Annoyed With Former Superstars, 2) Trapped in Elevators and 3) Very Good at Basketball Remember on Thursday when Charles Barkley said Lebron James was alienating his teammates with all his talk of his impending free agency in 2010, and that he should "shut the hell up"? Well, you didn't think King James was going to take that lying down, did you? Heck no. On Friday, he fired back, BI...

Greg Oden Couldn't Be More Thrilled With Your Request For A PhotoThanks to Phil Golding for this picture, who got it from a friend who enjoyed a recent flight with Trail Blazers rookie Greg Oden. I think it's hilarious that the preseason hadn't even started yet, and already Oden is fed up with the fans. His attitude had improved greatly by Tuesday, however, as th...

Reexaminating the Ease of Being Green Kevin Garnett and the Celtics had been rolling through the best the Western Conference until they ran into the Hornets.

Isiah's bunch has now won three out of their last four games four out of their last five games and the boss is feeling pretty fuckin' good about himself. Check out the grin, the relaxed posture, and the ...

Nobody Can Stop the Beer Baron

Baron Davis is simply filthy. Last night his 40 points (6/8 from three) carried the Warriors to a 119-111 win over the rudderless Bulls. Most of Chicago's firepower came from the bench, with Ben Gordon and Andres "Elbows" Nocioni combining to score 57 points. But hey, you try to look Thabo Sefolosha...

Perhaps "untouchable" wasn't the right word to describe the DeTroit (I like it better that way) Pistons. Last night they had a chance to stick it to the Celtics again, and this time they had the pleasure of hosting the action. Yet it was not to be. The Celtics relied on Glen Davis'...uh...muscle to ...
