San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili’s right ankle has taken a turn for the worse. The Spurs said tests showed Ginobili had an increased narrow edema and stress fracture in his right distal fibula. I have no clue what that means; however, it will keep him out for the rest of the season, including the [...]

The most selfish player to ever play in the NBA, Allen Iverson, is out for the remainder of the season for the Detroit Pistons with a so-called ‘hurt back.’
Earlier this week Iverson whined about coming off the bench and that he’d rather retire than become a team player. Throughout Iverson’s career it has always been [...]

How do you heal a torn medial collateral ligament in your knee? Some would toss a Playmate on their shoulders at a pajamas and lingerie party after the Playboy Golf Finals. Others would jump over velvet ropes. A few may cut the rug on a checkered dance floor. Los Angeles Lakers forward Andrew Bynum would [...]
Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace was suspended for one game for committing too many technical fouls. He picked up his 16th technical foul last night against Cleveland. Cleveland has won 13 straight games, so I am assuming Detroit lost to Cleveland last night? The game Sheed will miss already happened, which was tonight, so make [...]

For our new friend Mr. P. Peppers, who thoroughly ripped my opinion of Andre Iguodala (scroll down to Thaddeus Young post to read the fireworks) and clearly likes Perry better than me (who doesn’t?), here is a link to Andre Iguodala on Jimmy Fallon.
Mr. Peppers sent us this link and we like it. We’ve [...]

Our Twitter buddy Chris Iafolla posted a neat item today regarding April Fool’s Day. Most everyone does the “Donovan McNabb gets traded to Detroit Lions for Calvin Johnson” type crap. But he wrote up some things that should be jokes, but aren’t. Here is his list. And if you are a [...]

Sixers small forward – who actually plays other positions because Andre Iguodala can’t hit a jump shot and just play the two – Thaddeus Young will be out 2-3 weeks with an injured ankle sustained in Tuesday night’s victory over the Atlanta Hawks.
The bone isn’t broken, but MRI results show a sprain and a bone [...]

The title of this post might sound a little kinky, but it only means that John Calipari is leaving Memphis to become the head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats.
Calipari will receive an eight-year, $31.65 million deal plus incentives, according to the university, making him the highest-paid coach in college basketball. The school also will pay [...]

The NBA slapped Mavericks owner Mark Cuban with a $25,000 fine Sunday for publicly criticizing the officials after Denver’s 103-101 win over Dallas.
One of the rules states:

Stemming from a 2005 bar fight, loser-thug Allen Iverson must infuse the pockets of Marlin Godfrey with $260,ooo, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday. Godfrey and another patron, David Anthony Kittrell, sued Iverson for $20 million, but the jury decided not to award punitive damages and only compensate Godfrey $10,000 for his medical bills [...]

UConn will be without head coach Jim Calhoun today due to illness. His doctors didn’t feel like it was a good idea to be with the team and coaching today.

The #2-seeded Memphis Tigers barely survived the beast that was the #15 Cal St. Northeridge. After trailing during various points of the second half, they finally got their stuff together and took care of business 81-70.
There is a collective sigh across offices all over the country by so many folks that had Memphis winning [...]
The Denver Nuggets have suspended Carmelo Anthony for one game for an “in-game transgression” Sunday against Indiana.
Vice president of player personnel Rex Chapman didn’t elaborate on what Anthony did and reporters sitting courtside didn’t see anything, but Chapman had this to say, “There is a code of conduct that we take very seriously, especially from [...]
Superstars usually make everyone around them better. In Allen Iverson’s case, he makes everyone around him worse. Well, they usually just stand around and watch as he dribbles the ball and ruins any flow in the offense.
However, the good thing for the Detroit Pistons is Allen Iverson’s hurt and Richard Hamilton is finally back in [...]

This is from Monday night and we aren’t sure why it took us so long to post. We watched the game and were stunned by this play. Andre Iguodala goes to the free-throw line with the game tied and 1.8 seconds left on the clock. Game over, right? All he has [...]

Stephon Marbury is a horrible basketball player with a stupid tattoo on his head. This recent news about his contract getting bought out and him going to the Boston Celtics has no relevance to the NBA whatsoever. He sucks.
The Boston Celtics can win without him and they have. Actually, they are better suited to repeat [...]

Scientific American magazine has a great article on how to avoid choking under pressure.
There are quite a few athletes that might want to read that article, so pass it around if you are friends with some of them. And I’m not talking about Donovan McNabb because I think his “choking” is much [...]
