On Tuesday night, Robert Griffin III stepped into his seats courtside to watch his new city’s favorite (and worst) basketball team do battle with the world’s best basketball team. The Washington Wizards weren’t given much of a chance to beat the Miami Heat, but it seemed like since...

I really just wanted Bill Walton to shut the hell up. That was my thought of the big red-head whenever he’d call NBA games as a color commentator. His constant criticisms of big men, his berating of players who showed off their personalities (see Wallace, Rasheed) during the game, and the constant...

The photo you see above is during my 25th birthday extravaganza in Las Vegas back in 2008. There were plenty of memorable moments that took place in Sin City, from seeing the 2008 Redeem Team play before heading to the Olympics, to having Gabrielle Union blow a kiss at me during Dwyane Wade’s...

Its crazy to think that this is Kobe Bryant’s 8th release of signature shoes with Nike. Folks are quick to forget those memorable and forgettable releases from the Three Stripes back in the day, but the evolution of Kobe’s “System” has indeed proven that a low-top shoe can reign...

Walking into a new sports arena is always a bit of a goosebumps moment. While I’d technically been to Oracle Arena before via the corporate squares suite about a month prior, actually sitting with the people (okay, media section … let me live) is a different experience altogether. You see,...

The theatrics were in play as TNT made sure we knew that this game was important. The characters were all in place. Hov and Bey descended to their rightful spot courtside. Hipsters, goons and working squares all filled the Barclays Center wearing their appropriate paraphernalia. The two teams provided...

By the time you read this, you may have already copped that Hoshitoshi 50″ television for some crack price of $200. Or that new laptop, camera, tablet, etc. Yet for you sneakerheads, the real “Black Friday” might be available for you in just your exact shoe size. Per the folks at Nike,...

I can remember being in high school and college and remembering how much I actually didn’t use a backpack. I think I was too busy trying to unsuccessfully talk to women, or I just carried one of those Five-Star notebooks and my textbooks at a time. Hey, that’s what lockers and three-hour...

There are a few of you youngsters who have no clue who in hades Mr. Wally Pipp is. If you don’t know who he is, then I’m going to redirect you and encourage you to read this first before you proceed. Now, after a Monday Night Football monstrosity for the Chicago Bears, the San Francisco...

The homie Brandon Caldwell tweeted me early on Sunday as soon as the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars squared off for battle at Reliant Stadium. This is what he said: I’m not even going to troll @edthesportsfan today. Nope. — Brandon Caldwell (@_brandoc) November 18, 2012 Trolling me...

Ed’s Note: This is an evolution of the Starting Lineups. The feeling here is, “less is more.” Plus, you deserve quality reading in your life. So support good words and get a good read in the process.  The Basketball Jones’ Seth Rosenthal on Jay-Z, LeBron and D-Wade Possibly...

I can vividly remember being at that party that I didn’t have any business being at when I was in high school. There was good looking women around, music was turned up and libation might’ve been passed around even if we were all underage. Of course, you (probably) had some home training,...
