Mark Cuban: Always Finding Something to Complain About

Mark Cuban, complain?
I know how weird that sounds, but by golly, he really did complain (again). This time, Cuban isn’t upset with the NBA, who he more or less thinks is out to get him, but he was complaining about the NFL of all things!
The NFL scheduled a first-round home playoff game for the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday night, which happens to be at the same time as the Mavericks’ home game against the Utah Jazz. So of course, he can’t just accept this:
“I know we’re just little pissants compared …

LeBron, Live and in Person – Now I’m a Witness…?

I am now a witness. The question is: a witness to what exactly…?
On Saturday, JB and I spent another day at the IZOD Center, this time to see the Nets play the Cleveland Cavaliers, or as I like to call them, the Cleveland LeBrons. This was the first time I’ve seen LeBron James play in person, so I figured this would be the perfect time to express my ‘frustrations’ with LeBron, from an on-the-court standpoint.
The category of this post is labeled ‘hrbl hoops’, but there isn’t much that is hrbl …

Happy Holidays from the Houston Rockets

With New Years coming up, the holiday season is almost over.  I stumbled upon this video of Rockets players attempting to sing Rudolph the Red Nose reindeer.  Charles Barkley would say they were “trbl,” and while we think they were hrbl, it had me laughing while I was watching it.  Enjoy.

Gullable Utah Flash Fans Victims of Michael Jordan Hoax

This is the biggest news story coming out of the NBDL since the Greenville Groove took down the North Charleston Lowgators for the first NBDL championship.
In an attempt to attract fans, the Utah Flash have been pitching a Michael Jordan-Bryon Russell 1-on-1 game at halftime of their home opener since September. But had the team heard anything from Sir Michael since first issuing the challenge? Of course not!
But this is the best part… To make people believe that Jordan was in town for the ‘re-match,’ Flash owner Brandt Andersen sent …

Bulls Defense = Hrbl

The following video ACTUALLY occured in the middle of a LIVE NBA game featuring the Bulls and the Raptors.

HRBL defense right there! The Bulls are giving up 97 ppg this year and the Raptors are scoring 105 ppg so for the Bulls to not take advantage of this opportunity is beyond me. I mean look at how Deng isn’t even paying attention first off. What’s the #1 rule of defense? Never turn your back (or your head) to the ball! Come on now Deng! I love how Jack was so …

To Dunk or Not to Dunk – LeBron Goes Back on His Word

After making headlines and creating a lot of ‘hoop’la (pun absolutely intended) during last year’s All-Star Game in Phoenix, in regard to joining the squad for the 2010 Slam Dunk Contest, LeBron James is now taking back his word. After Wednesday night’s game against the Suns, James said he is now only “50-50″ in terms of his chances of participating in the event.
We all know what that means – there is NO WAY he is doing this event. Just from personal experience, and I’m sure each of you can vouch …

Ron Artest is the Craziest Man in the NBA…EVER

The following quotes are REAL and will be in the next issue of Sporting News.  Steve Greenburg met up with Ron Artest for this interview in which Artest admitted to some interesting things.
Apparently Artest admitted that he used to drink alcohol…AT HALFTIME, while with the Bulls!  How did anyone let him get away with this, and how did no one notice? 
“I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime.  I (kept it) in my locker. I’d just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it.”
While at St. John’s …
