The guy on the right?  He he’s still around.  He’s an important role player on a team that will make the playoffs and might actually do something.  Sure he’s been decimated by injuries throughout his career but his resurgence is something to merit.  Plus he isn’t just 30 years old.

The guy on the left?  He’s 30?  What?  I mean, like really only 30?  It feels like Tracy McGrady is at least 50 years old at this point.   And I would say it’s sad and all but let’s face it, he’s made a ton of money over the years and really only has to play like 20 games a year.  Or at least it feels that way.

I mean what happened to this guy?  Remember how good he used to be?  Think about the days he was on the Raptors.  Even in the dunk contest when he was a high flier.

I mean when was the last time you actually thought to yourself “damn T-Mac is really good.”  I’m really amazed that stuff like this happens.  But you know something?  I’m convinced there’s a part of McGrady that just doesn’t give a shit.  I feel like he’s the type of player that goes out there and says “I’m gonna get mine” and calls it a day.

Grant Hill worked his ass off to get back from his injuries.  I have no proof but something tells me that conditioning probably isn’t McGrady’s greatest asset.  Look, some players are just injury prone and I’m sure a lot of that is true with McGrady, but I don’t know.  I’d like to really find out how hard he works on his body.  I think he knows how talented he is and that’s just “good enough” for him.

I feel like he’s headed to Europe and that’s just sad.  At 30 he could easily resurrect himself and become relevant again.  I’m just not sure he cares.

Can Tiger Woods possibly find more ways to thoroughly f*ck his reputation?

I wish this shot were a little closer up but you can’t always get what you want.  I suppose that Little League baseball practices are a little more dangerous than some might think.

This guy gets drilled.



Usually these videos the NBA puts out of players singing different songs (usually of the Christmas variety) are pretty lame, but I got a kick out of Danilo Galinari singing Beyonce.  He’s like, so friggin’ bad that you have to think he’s singing like crap on purpose.  If he’s not, well, I gotta give him credit for going all out.

The best is the end of the video, when someone off-camera says, “that was good.”  Yeah, it was fucking great, Danilo.

High School Basketball is the new College Basketball. College Basketball is the new Minor League Basketball. Times have changed. To make a long story short, High School basketball programs are now recruiting players from across the country to play for them. I thought that was for college? Maybe I’m getting old…. either way, there have been some sick high school teams.

Two of the bigger culprits are the infamous Oak Hill Academy in Virginia, and Montrose Christian in Rockville, Maryland. If an Alumni Game was held today between these two programs, who would win??

What many have called a shed has been revealed to be nothing more than a garage by Coach Leach’s lawyer. His lawyer spoke as if his client would now be vindicated, simply because it turns out Leach didn’t send players into a scene from Saw, but rather an empty, rather creepy garage.

Really?

It’s still a freaking garage! That’s like saying “My client didn’t maim and torture this person to death, he simply shot him, killing him instantly!” Sure, one is technically better than the other, but both are definitely wrong.

Besides, most reports indicate that the lights were turned off, because apparently that’s what you do for people who have concussions. So does it matter if it was a shed or a garage if the lights were off? No.

This lawyer’s slogan should be, “He’ll make you seem a little less evil! (But still evil)” Bravo.

There’s nothing worse than a sports fan who gets upset when a player or coach actually responds to his annoying heckling.  Just because you bought a ticket, it doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole with no consequences for your actions.

Bobby Gonzalez vehemently denied he used an expletive at fans sitting behind the Seton Hall bench in a 94-56 win over Navy on Dec. 22.

A fan, who asked that his name not be used, told The Post last night that Gonzalez told fans to, “Shut the [bleep] up” after they got on him for pleading his case with officials early in the game. The fan said several fans told Gonzalez to coach his players instead of arguing when Gonzalez wheeled and made his statement.

Gonzalez told The Post after a tough, 80-73 loss to Syracuse last night that the allegation was not true.

“Didn’t happen,” said Gonzalez. “It’s false.”

First of all, it definitely did happen.  But that’s not the issue here.  Bobby Gonzalez said the F-word?  Oh no!

Of course the fan didn’t want his name revealed, for that would expose him as the crybaby tattletail that he really is.  I mean, what kind of person whines about someone else cursing at them?  It’s OK to tell Bobby Gonzalez how to do his job all game long, and if he turns around and tells you to shut the fuck up, he’s the bad guy?  What is this, third fucking grade?

One of the greatest moments in the history of sports was when Ron Artest went after the dude who chucked a beer at him.  Paying for a ticket doesn’t grant you immunity to do and say whatever you want to players and coaches.  If I was Bobby Gonzalez, I would have admitted cursing at the fan.  Just say that he was being a total dick (which I’m sure he was) and everyone would understand.

When you normally think of women’s basketball you think WNBA.  And there’s nothing really wrong with that.  But if you have to consider a problem then consider this.  You don’t exactly think sex appeal when you think professional women’s basketball players.

I mean you have a few here and there but overall it’s tough to find many Playboy worthly ballers.  And t here’s nothing wrong with that but honestly it’s hard to have the WNBA appeal to the male audience without sex.  Afterall, the NBA is just much better basketball.  Sorry ladies.

But if we move out internationally?  It’s a different story, especially in Belarus.  The women’s basketball team of Belarus Prinyafli  recetly got involved in shooting for a candy-spicy calendar that overwhelmingly pleased their fans….and us.

Take a look after the jump
