Bobby Simmons has been nothing but a failure for the Milwaukee Bucks since he signed that 6 year $57 million contract that he got from them. It was a disappointing signing for the Milwaukee Bucks as Simmons has been plagued with injuries, inconsistent plays and poor showings when his …

Kelenna Azubuiki is often called the french gentleman. In my great surprise Azubuiki has become an amazing player for the Golden State Warriors. He is averaging double digits in points and contributes heavily on the rebounding and the assist department as well.
In a team made of offensive players …

Monta Ellis who won the Most Improved Player in the NBA a year ago has continued that progress and has become a legitimate scorer for the Golden State Warriors. I really like Ellis’s game, he can score in a variety of ways but the most amazing thing about his …

The Indiana Pacers have been putting some force in the paint. Two years ago they acquired Ike Diogu from Arizona State and Danny Granger from New Mexico. Danny Granger has shown that he is Indiana Pacer material. The six foot eight inch forward is terrorizing opponents with a strong …

Since day one of enrolling in the Capoeira class, I have become hooked into this African-Brazilian fighting and survival tactic that mixes fighting, dance, and aerobics in one blood-pumping session. At first, I was a bit scared and insecure because from the what I saw on the floor, the …

This man has been coaching the Utah Jazz since I was eight years old. I’m twenty-seven now, about to turn twenty-eight, and my entire life as a basketball fan has been spent seeing Jerry Sloan on the Jazz’s sidelines. It’s amazing how long he has been coaching the same …

Widely regarded as the best league in the world, I am rather mixed in opinion as to weather the Barclays Premiership is in fact the best football league in the world. If it is though, I don’t think it beats the rest by much.
In terms of organization, money and …

At the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France is the …

Ike Diogu is the former Arizona State University foward. He’s only been in the leage for two years, but already he’s made it his permanent home. The way he explodes when he plays, it’s a lock that he’s not going back to the minors, so the speak. The six …

I was able to follow Mike Miller’s career when he was still in the University of the Florida Gators. Back then, it was pretty clear that he was destined to be a great three point shooter at any level. After playing just one year with the Gators, he decided …

The Green Bay Packers may soon find themselves looking for a replacement for quarterbacks coach Tom Clements. That is, of course, if other teams realize just how great of a job he’s done and look to sign him as an offensive coordinator.

Jameer Nelson, the consensus player of the year from collegiate ranks entering his first NBA season played with a chip on his shoulder. he was uncharacteristically drafted 20th on that ‘03 draft mainly because of his size rather than his ability. This is something that i think he played …

The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics - Men’s Moguls event was lots of fun to watch. I’m getting into this sport the more I watch it. For me, it’s three different kinds of excitement. They start with a trick, then have to show off their skiing, and then …

David Haye v Audley Harrison. It was a fight that was really dividing opinion. Haye had been inactive since winning the world title against Valuev and with nothing yet agreed with the Kiltchkos it was Audley that stole in to claim a deal.
My initial thought was why on earth …
