    Domestic violence in the NBA?

    Whoa, hold on there! When did I say any of that? To ask the question doesn't necessarily mean that I feel all football players are engaged in violent acts. Relax there. I'm utilizing the examples of players that are violent in the NFL (portrayed by the media & spoken to be true with their own...

    Favourite Old TV Series?

    Oh, man I loved Xena. You know what beat Xena though? Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I almost died when I saw that Netflix put the entire series up. I love that show. Watching it now really reminds me of the times I watched it when I was younger. Buffy does that for me as well as X-Files, Monsters, &...

    Do You Exercise?

    Currently biking is a huge passion of mine. Luckily I live in a place where they're making strides to make biking in the city easier. I can bike for hours on end. No, I do not call it cycling. People who call it cycling as usually the one's with aerodynamic helmets & tight shorts in the winter...

    Being at the game or at home. Which is your favorite?

    Well, the cheaper option is staying at home. There have been occasions where I went to a game & wished I had stayed home but that really had to do with seating & the place being packed to the rafters. I'd rather watch a basketball game at home. I'd rather watch a football game live.

    How long will it take for the Knicks to rebuild?

    I get immensely tired of teams spending money on one player & then complaining left & right about the expectations said player failed to meet. Try evenly distributing the funds to build a team instead of buying a team. That's why I hate the Yankees. Build a team!

    High Schoolers Entering the Draft

    Honestly, where does it stop? What stops the NBA from dealing with the parents contractually at 17 after that? When did Kobe get drafted again???

    Favorite basketball movie?!

    Come on you guys, really??? White Men Can't Jump. Hands down greatest next to He Got Game. Above The Rim is a close third & I give props to Basketball Diaries for having an edge.

    Ladies ... What is your favorite NBA team?

    Since the dawn of time there has been only one team. One team to rule them all. For you see, without this team who among us knows where the God of basketball would have ended up? That team is the Chicago Bulls. Even through their worst I was there. I was a girl growing up in a garbage place...

    Jeremy Lin

    I never really considered Lin to be that great a player in the first place. I think he had an amazing season that one time people seemed to care about him but overall? Nah. I think it's too easy to compare him to Bryant. He's old & he knows it. Bryant in his prime wouldn't even be in the same...

    Is there a reason the NBA has stepped away from cartoonish gaming?

    I loved Hang Time! I loved NBA Jam! Sure it lacked a lot of the nuances the 2K series has going for it. It lacked the realism. What it didn't lack? The fun. I don't see why the NBA couldn't come up with a graphically superior game that harkens back to the times where you could name your player...

    Why don't more women care about the WNBA?

    How many ridiculous dunks over cars do you see during halftime at any WNBA event? In fact, it's immensely rare to see A dunk let alone a fantastic one. There's little showmanship. That's the reason I don't watch. It has nothing to do with the fact that they have ovaries. I shouldn't, as a...

    Improvements needed for a Championship to the Cavs?

    Lebron cannot carry the weight of the team alone. It seemed like they forced him to that before in Cleveland & we saw how that worked out. Once he moved to a team that was a cohesive one he brought championships. Build a team around his abilities don't just rely on them.

    How do you properly balance safety with playing the friggen game???

    The rules are getting ridiculous. I feel like every new season I have to familiarize myself with 'rules to make our players safe'. Excessive celebrating? Who in the world are you making safe the fans viewing running backs who cannot dance? I get it. No one wants to be responsible for...

    Do you think the All Star game is based on popularity more than skill?

    These games remind me of the Pro Bowl for the NFL. Everyone is more concerned about getting hurt than playing a real game. Now, they could easily fix that probably by telling them how they play in the All Star game will affect the amount their contract is negotiated for the next year. Money...

    Theme/Layout

    You just have to superimpose his face on the existing logo. That was pretty much what he looked like 99% of his life anyway. That is until God came to him in a dream lying about his ability to rule every sport. I have to agree. No booty kissing involved here but the colour scheme is spot on.

    Kat Williams, Shoes, & Me...

    I have always dealt with shoes in this exact way with my children, my godchildren, my friends, my guys. This way: Now, if you HAVE a different opinion I want you to tie yourself into those Jordan's run down the block. I want you to come back & velcro up the Dora Explorer shoes & show me how...

    Yo! Yo! ____@

    Howdy, I've been playing basketball (it feels like) since I was in my mother's womb. Dunking on the fallopian tubes. No, but seriously, it's my jam & I can't wait to chat about it with like minded folk.

    Domestic violence in the NBA?

    So, given all the attention domestic abuse situations have garnered within the NFL do you think it's possible the attention could turn to other sports leagues/associations? Should someone take a microscope to all sports as opposed to focusing on the NFL? It seems like the NBA is littered with a...

    Derrick Rose is finding his form

    I don't see him ever getting back to where he was. It's not just his body that needs to heal, his pride took a beat down from a lot of Chicago fans. He's also not getting younger. I like watching Butler & Noah more than I want to see him on the court in a quarter. He has a long way to go.
