  The NBA’s worst karaoke singer: Dwyane Wade or Shane Battier?


 byOly Sandor
Thankfully, they’re both pretty darn good at their day jobs. Recently, video footage of Dwyane Wade and Shane Battier taking part in karaoke nights emerged on youtube. It’s not pretty. Give the Miami superstar and Houston glue-guy credit for taking the stage, but both are, well, lacking in vocal ability (...).

  The strange saga of Monta Ellis and the Golden State Warriors


 byOly Sandor
The Warriors have to find a veteran to serve as Ellis’ big brother. Minnesota’s Antonio Daniels would be a fit because he has been both student and teacher. In San Antonio, he learned from mentor Avery Johnson and then guided Luke Ridnour through his rough patches in Seattle. Daniels, who is in the final year of his contract, can still play a little, too (...).

  Should Orlando have traded for Vince Carter or resigned Hedo Turkolgu?


 byOly Sandor
This is a perfect description of the Orlando Magic’s off-season. After all, GM Otis Smith rolled the dice when he acquired the controversial Vince Carter and let closer Hedo Turkoglu leave as a free agent. Give the Magic credit. They aren’t satisfied with the Eastern Conference banner. And they want the NBA Title (...).

  Would Phil Jackson tell Steve Nash, Andrei Kirilenko, Chris Anderson, Chris Kaman, and Anderson Varejao to cut their hair?


 byOly Sandor
Jackson has a point. Vujacic struggled last year and, perhaps, quaffing ’The Lid’ on a nightly basis was a distraction. This got HoopsVibe The Blog thinking of other NBA players the Hall of Fame sideline boss would send to the barber shop if they donned the purple-and-gold ....

  From Russia with love: Mikhail Prokhorov perfect for New Jersey Nets


 byOly Sandor
When it comes to ownership, fans fear the unknown. The fear is that the billionaire, after assuming control over the club, will treat the fan's passion like his personal play thing. Logos will be altered; bizarre marketing schemes will get the green light. And the fans will lose their connection to the club they love. This is the worst case scenario, hatched out in the minds of irrational (...).

  NBA stars who must bounce back in 2010: Bogut-Redd, Ellis, Arenas, Iverson, and McGrady


 byOly Sandor
Is Arenas still a stone-cold assassin or just a shade of his former self? This is a fair question. After all, Agent Zero has become Agent MIA, suiting up for just 15 games the last two seasons due to injuries. Missing so many games didn’t stop him from talking smack or scoring a lucrative $111 contract, courtesy of the very loyal Washington Wizards (...).

  Is Lamar Odom Really Marrying Khloé Kardashian?


Baller meets minor celebrity. Baller and minor celebrity click. Baller and minor celebrity marry. Divorce often follows shortly. You already know how it goes. The question here is this: Are Lamar Odom and Khloé Kardashian about to slot neatly into the oft-repeated pattern that sees NBA players and secondary persons of interest tie the knot? Up until recently the reports suggested that the (...).

  Odom to Tie the Knot


 byChristopher Sells
Congratulations, Lamar Odom. I think. If you haven't heard, the Lakers' 6'10" lefty PF with handles is taking himself off the market. Not the free agent market (he did that earlier this summer after not seeing eye-to-eye with the NBA champs), but the bachelor market. According to his future wife, the two will be joined in marital bliss this Sunday. The lucky woman is Khloe Kardashian. I'm (...).


  Video: Spencer Hawes and Nate Robinson celebrate Washington’s upset over USC


 byOly Sandor
For instance, this past weekend the Washington Huskies upset the USC Trojans in NCAA Football. The victory was sealed with a dramatic last second field goal. However, for me, the most entertaining part wasn’t the game, but watching former Huskies hoop stars Nate Robinson and Spencer Hawes celebrating on the sideline (...).


  NBA stars who must bounce back in 2010 (#10-6): Calderon, Dunleavy, Ginobili, Marion, and Brand


 byOly Sandor
Like stocks and real estate, their play fell off in 2009. Fortunately, the coming season presents a chance at one thing: redemption. Expectations can be met. Salaries can be justified. Reputations can be saved. And just like investors and homeowners, fans are hoping to once again become bullish on their favourite players (...).

  Dwyane Wade is the real prize in 2010.


 byJohn Nguyen
For anyone who did not notice, the entire Miami Heat organization, including Pat Riley and head coach Erik Spoelstra, has taken pay cuts because of the dreaded economy. This move had to be done because the Miami Heat is just not making enough money to avoid more layoffs. Most teams around the league have to consider such a thing because of falling revenues. Having people lose more jobs is a (...).
