The good news for Shaq is now he can send as many emails, text messages and bbms to NBA players girlfriends, fiancée’ and wives and doesn’t have to feel any guilt anymore.
The bad news he is probably a little lighter in the wallet, but he will be ok.
According to TMZ.com Shaunie O’Neal’s lawyer Sorrell Trope they have reached a divorce agreement on property, custody of the kids and support payments. Read more…

As the boss says, we’re here to tell the truth. That’s important because the knives are out for Allen Iverson, as they’ve always been, except that this time he’s finally ripe for the pickings. The media has hated him from day one, largely because they couldn’t understand him, couldn’t find a way to relate to him or his life story, and because he made it clear that he didn’t give a damn what they thought about him. And as I’ve said before, the worst thing you can do the media is act like you don’t need them. It punctures their sense of importance, their idea that they and only they can make or break stars and careers. When you put them in a box, like Tiger Woods did, or tell them where they can go, like Barry Bonds, they become petulant little children. And before long they’ll throw a tantrum. Read more…

It isn’t that I don’t agree with Lamar Odom, it is just hard to take him seriously because he is married to a Kardashian (not the cute one either).
With that being said here is what he had to say about the Lakers current funk:
“We’ve got dudes on the Raptors talking (trash),” he said, noting Toronto hasn’t exactly arrived as an NBA powerhouse. “But our disposition as a team gives some of these young cats, these dudes, the right. They feel like they got the right. A couple of dudes talking to me today, if I’d have talked to Charles Oakley like one of those dudes like that, I probably would have been smacked in my face.” Read more…

I am going to side with Marbury on this one.
Seriously, because I can’t stand cold weather, someone needs to pay me to keep living in Saint Louis. Do you know the amount of Vaseline Marbury must has used while playing this year for the Shanxi Zhongyu in China?
According the Hoops Market he is not pleased with his current arrangement: Read more…

Allen Iverson has had a bad couple of weeks (actually a bad last 12 months to be honest).
It didn’t get any better today when Stephen A. Smith wrote an article chronicling his gambling and possible alcohol abuse. His wife is divorcing him and his time in the NBA seems to have run out.
The one thing we do know about Iverson is he is a fighter and in the face of all this he wanted to make a statement. Read more…

I normally don’t promote my various radio appearances on the site, but I think this is important for people to hear my voice especially in sensitive cases like the Ben Roethlisberger and Allen Iverson ones.
I will be on WOL-AM 1450 in DC this afternoon at 8:30 pm eastern. You can listen live by clicking link below:

I don’t think anyone should be surprised that this information has come out. Most people are aware that Iverson has a lot of issues going on right now and alcohol and gambling has long be a concern for those close to A.I.
Stephen A. Smith who has been writing and covering Iverson for years decided to bring some of these issues to light today in a column for the Philadelphia Inquirer he says that only John Thompson can stop A.I. from this downturn.
“[Thompson] is the one guy who’ll have a chance of slowing this train wreck down, who could wrap his arms around Iverson and have an impact, because clearly it has not been done,” Chaney said, according to Smith. “But there’s still this one question: Will [Iverson] listen?” Read more…

The Lakers have been in a bit of a funk lately. Losing two in a row and have been playing a bit sluggish since the All-Star break.
The greatness that is Ron Artest is deciding to shake things up a bit and he didn’t even have to break a table leg. He is going blonde and Chinese (there is a Tiger Joke in there somewhere) . Read more…

It has been a rough twelve months for Allen Iverson.
He gets traded from a playoff team in Denver to Detroit, pouts about possibly coming off the bench and ends up sitting out the majority of the last part of the season with a “mysterious injury”.
He signs with the Memphis Grizzles, a decision that everyone thought would fail and lasts only three games after complaining about playing time and coming off the bench..
Then there was the “fake retirement” that lasted about a week.
There was the happy hometown reunion with the Philadelphia 76ers who was the only team interested in signing him. Of course that only lasted about a month before he left the team.

Every few years, we hear that one sports league or another should consider expanding it’s postseason in one way or another. Longer series, expanded pools of teams, etc. It’s always a bad idea. I dare anyone to name me one recent playoff expansion, other than the wildcard in baseball, that has resulted in a superior postseason. Seven game series in the first round of the NBA playoffs? Horrible; now it takes two weeks for one series to end and upsets are more scarce than they used to be. Sixty five teams in the NCAA tournament? Awful; we now get that lousy play in game a few nights before the real tournament starts. More bowl games? Ugh! Now we have 6-6 teams getting bowl invitations. College football conference title games? Lousy! All that’s gotten us is an awful, bloated ACC. Read more…
