Two games are in the books and Team USA remains undefeated. Sixers swingman Andre Iguodala isn’t the main reason why and we’re not homers who will say that even if it’s not true. However, Iggy has played solidly and is displaying some of the tough defense new Sixers coach Doug Collins wants to see from [...]

Iguodala highlight video far from impressive
July 16th, 2010 · No Comments · NBA, Philadelphia 76ers
For a team with one supposed borderline star player around which to build, you’d think the Sixers would be able to develop a better highlight video than the one posted on Sixers.com today. Besides the crappy music selected, the video doesn’t do much to enhance Iggy’s image as an athletic guy who can dunk, but [...]

Allen Iverson struck gold this week.
Once the most dazzling player in the NBA that everyone admired for his willingness to take his small stature straight into the Land of the Giants, Iverson has become an afterthought in NBA circles. And, rightfully so.

LeBron has damaged his brand identity during free agency
July 7th, 2010 · No Comments · NBA, Uncategorized
Dubbed King James before even receiving a high school diploma, it’s no wonder that LeBron James, the biggest name to hit free agency in the modern era of sports, has acted as if America is the land of peasants hanging on his every word, his every tweet.
The truth is, sadly, we are.

But, two second year guards stole the show.
Jrue Holiday played with the court awareness of a veteran and continued [...]

July 2nd, 2010 · No Comments · NBA
If anyone questioned the fact that sports are a business, the New York Knicks pursuit of LeBron James will remove all doubt.
The Knicks aren’t selling LeBron on their basketball team, likely a smart move. They’re not even selling him on New York. They are trying to sell him on the fact that his brand will [...]
