Bryan and I were both out of town for Fourth of July weekend and weren’t on the internet at all. There were some pretty big things that happened in the world of sports that we feel should be mentioned but didn’t have the opportunity to write full posts on. I’ll just give a quick one [...]

Do you hear that distant noise? That’s Lebron James throwing a party.

Usually I go for a run at this time, but since it decided to pour rain when I got off work, I’m reading sports articles instead. Unfortunately, everywhere I go, I find articles like this one. I’ve stated before that I just don’t like basketball, so this is venturing into unknown (and probably unwelcome) territory [...]

I had planned on putting this up before I went to a concert tonight, but it wasn’t meant to be. Oh well, it all reads the same. While I was at work this morning I ran across this article. On Sunday, Big Baby Glen Davis hit a jumper at the buzzer to beat the Orlando [...]

While I love Major League Baseball’s All-Star festivities, mainly because the game is played like a real game, I think the NBA may take the crown for the most entertaining All-Star break. In the game itself, no defense is played, but that is kind of fun in an NBA setting. Seeing all the alley-oops and [...]

Chris Paul of the New Orleans Hornets currently leads the NBA in assists per game with 11.71. If he can maintain this pace, it would be the highest assists per game total since John Stockton of the Utah Jazz led the league with 12.33 assists per game in the 1994-95 season.
Bonus stat: Stockton posted the [...]

I was going to wait until his next game to post this, because he isn’t quite at the magic number, yet. But the Phoenix Suns don’t play again until Christmas Day against the San Antonio Spurs, so I figure I’ll post it now.
I heard this one on ESPN radio yesterday.
Shaquille O’Neal is about to become [...]

The NBA record for blocked shots in a season and block shots per game was set in the 1984-85 season by Mark Eaton of the Utah Jazz. That season, the 7-foot-3 Eaton blocked 456 shots in 82 games. That is 5.6 blocks per game. Hakeem Olajuwon was second in the league that season with 220 [...]

With the NBA season tipping off tomorrow, I thought it appropriate that we put up an NBA related post. Seeing as how I don’t really follow the NBA closely at all, I can’t give you predictions for how teams will do, or give any sort of insight to break down the strengths and weaknesses of [...]

About a month ago I wrote a post, “The Oklahoma City Thunder (Again)” as a follow up to Bryan’s post, “The Oklahoma City Thunder.” Well here I am writing a third post in the series. I felt inclined to do this when I learned that this Oklahoma City Thunder team, was originally going to be [...]
