Baron Davis Doesn't Give A Damn About Your Eyesight
That's Golden State Warriors swingman Monta Ellis, who's having a breakout year. He's come out of nowhere to average better than 18 points and 4 assists per game for the Warriors. It's the kind of performance that gets a guy picked up in a lot of fantasy leagues, and then gets a guy enough attention...
Welcome To The Hibachi
Gilbert Arenas is a fountain of awesomeness that will never run dry. The latest dip into his well of creative genius brings us a phrase that will surely sweep the nation. Whenever Gilbert puts up a shot that he feels like is going in (which is all of them), he yells ... well, let's let Caron Butle...
Timberwolves Embarrass Themselves With Something Other Than Their Play
If there weren't pictures to prove that it happened, I'm not sure I would have believed it. What you see above is Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Marko Jaric attempting to enter the game with his jersey on backwards....
Players Sue For Their Right To Bitch
Unfair labor practices. That's what it's come to in the NBA, with the players association taking the unprecedented step of going to the National Labor Relations Board and filing two unfair labor practice chargers against the NBA. One of them is about the new basketball. The other is about their ri...
The Great Basketball Bloggers Have United And Will Soon Rule Earth
We'd like to congratulate the fine folks at AOL's The Fanhouse on the launch of their new NBA and College Basketball blog networks. As usual, they've put together a rather impressive roster, including the rather insanely busy Mighty MJD, who probably has to remind himself these days what site he's w...
Uh, Jack, You Missed A Spot. A Big Spot
Sorry, Mr. Orton: There's a new neck beard champion. This photo, swiped by 55 Problems, shows Jack Nicholson with the strangest neck beard we've ever seen. Uh, you'll fix that by Oscar night, right Jack?...

Get Fired Up, Knicks Fans
In honor of the Knicks' surprising road victory over the Cavaliers last night — which puts them one game out of first place, at 6-10! — we are proud to point out this Web advertisement for the Knicks (not one of the ones that, strangely, ran on this site) encouraging Madison Square Garden to "Experi...

Deron Williams Is Making Utah Slightly More Tolerable
True Hoop points out something that Illini fans have known for years now and the rest of the basketball world is unabashedly catching on to: Utah Jazz point guard (and former Illini star) Deron Williams is freaking awesome....

The Snow Is Finally Here, And The Playoffs Aren't Far Behind
For all the talk of Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck and a dogged night from Shaun Alexander, the main impression we took from last night's MNF Seahawks' win over the Packers was: SNOW! Screw Thanksgiving: We know the holidays are really upon us when it's snowing real hard and people are falling over...
Your Last Night Of MNF Brett Favre Backrubbing
Of all the tired Brett Favre storylines out there, our least favorite is the "He's playing against Mike Holmgren again!" theme. Yes, yes, they won a Super Bowl together; we're not sure this makes this all that necessarily compelling. Besides, that would require remembering a time when Brett Favre we...
Tracy McGrady Is More Stylish Than His Friends
We'd like to thank We Are The Postmen for directing us in the general direction of this set of pictures from Rockets star Tracy McGrady's wedding, which took place in Las Cabos, Mexico. McGrady, when not shirtless in the pictures, looks pretty sharp, but it's his wife Clarinda who steals the show, a...

LeBron Dunks Because He Can
J.E. Skeets at The Basketball Jones unearthed this clip of LeBron goofing off during pregame warmups at a recent Cavs game. When normal people screw around on a basketball court, they throw up a half-ass shot from behind the backboard or something. When LeBron James goofs off, he throws a behind the...
Gilbert Arenas Appears To Update His Blog Regularly
As True Hoop has pointed out and we feel obliged to remind you of once again, Wizards singular voice of reason Gilbert Arenas has his own blog, and it's every bit as wonderful as you might have suspected it would be. Here's a few selections from the last couple of days:...
The Fast And The Furious
We know that the 49ers are officially back as contenders, because one of their players was arrested on Sunday night on reckless and drunken driving charges. Just hours after the team's win over the Seattle Seahawks, wide receiver Antonio Bryant was taken into custody after his Lamborghini was seen s...
