Paul Silas and Ira Newble on the death of Robert "Tractor" Traylor.

Miami's Charlie Coles has developed some of the best MAC posts ever. Those talents include the All-MAC forwards and centers Wally Szczerbiak (NBA), 3 time 1st team All-MAC Devin Davis (Spain), Ira Newble (NBA), Alex Shorts, Nathan Peavy (Puerto Rico), Danny Horace (France), Juby Johnson (Croatia), and 2009 MAC Player of the Year Michael Bramos (Greece). Will Tadlock be the next great MU post?

Following the release of the pictures from Kobe Bryant's(notes) all-white everything photo shoot — and in particular, his urban pilgrim look — we had to ask an important question: where do these photos rank on the list of most bloggable photos of the Internet age? BDL is here to suss it out. 5. Manute Bol and Muggsy Bogues are different sizes, Getty Images, 1987 I'd like...

Jake-Aleksei-Ιακωβος-Tsakalidis-Ledkov etc creates his own space (nobody expected him to score, so nobody guards him=space created) and scores a remarkable basket playing with the Grizzlies. Thank Jason Williams for the wonderful dish. Ira Newble, the former player of Aris Thessaloniki, can also be seen in this vid, starring in a missed layup. Duration : 0:0:20 addthis_url...

The last time the Cavaliers won without LeBron James in the lineup, Sasha Pavlovic and Ira Newble were counted on to play a heavy amount of minutes.  Given this, it was fitting that last night’s 97-95 win over the San Antonio Spurs featured at least 30 minutes from Jawad Williams, Delonte West and Anderson Varejao [...]

"LeBron James: The Making of an MVP" starts out at something of a seriousness deficit. It's difficult to believe that a glossy, magazine-style 156-page softcover with 90 photographs eating up a hefty chunk of real estate will provide what advance materials claim is the "definitive biography" of basketball's most transcendent star. To their credit, co-authors Terry Pluto and Brian...

One Cleveland sports blogger thinks Amare Stoudemire is a no-brainer, while others discuss the Browns' lack of playmakers (and quarterbacks) and even track down former Cavalier Ira Newble.

You knew your guy Biff wouldn't leave you hanging after such a huge Cavs win.  Here he is, former dominator of the Plain Dealer message boards and editor of Cry Me a Cuyahoga River, now special to Cleveland Frowns: Lebron’s line last night:  37 points on 13-25 from the field, 9 assists, 5 boards, two steals, and a block.  He was, as he always is, unreal...

NBA free agent guard/forward Ira Newble will reportedly head overseas for the 2009-10 season. According to a video posted on YouTube by Los Angeles-based reporter Elie Seckbach, Newble is signing with Aris BC in Greece. Newble’s last NBA action was in the 2007-08 season, when he played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Seattle SuperSonics and Los Angeles Lakers. Over [...]

Dirtlocker points for: Vince Carter, Derek Fisher, Pau Gasol, LeBron James, Bostjan Nachbar, Ira Newble, Paul Pierce Sorry, couldn't help myself. I'm nothing if I'm not a fool for bi-lingual puns. Each game gets an Easter Egg music video. Los Angeles Lakers 105, New Jersey 90: Pau Gasol's debut i...

Brand new layout to be released at some point tomorrow. Do not mind any site errors while I attempt to make the switch. Interview with BJ Armstrong, former NBA Champion and current NBPA agent at WMG scheduled to be posted first thing Tuesday morning. I returned from Israel after eleven full days and nights in the Holy Land. I probably received a total of thirty hours of sleep or...

Please answer this question. Who was that guy wearing the Ira Newble jersey last night? Slashing, hitting the boards, actually finishing strong? While I wish he would produce like this more often, given the injures to the Cavaliers this week, we needed a game like this out of him - and we [...]SHA...

Four of Cleveland's six best players could miss tonight's game leaving Mike Brown to ponder the heretofore unsolved question of who will hurt the offense less: Ira Newble or Damon Jones?Drew Gooden, Anderson Varejao, and Sasha Pavlovic all missed last night's 92-77 loss in Houston. Hoopsworld reports...

Pregame: Just checked the starting lineups. Apparently this game is being played in 2005. Both Eric Snow and Ira Newble are starting. LeBron will need to step up. Unfortunately the Nuggets seem to be his cryptonite (Spelling? Is there a correct spelling for a make believe substance?). His career scor...

Quote:With Gasol, Ariza, Mihm and Bynum still out with injuries, this should help give the Lakers some depth until they all heal up.Anyway, here's the release from the Lakers:The Los Angeles Lakers have signed free agent forward Ira Newble to a 10-day contract, it was announced today by General Manag...

The Lakers signed defensive stalwart Ira Newble to a 10 day contract. Newble takes the last of the Lakers 15 roster spots and because he was waived prior to March 1st, will be available for post season play. Newble is 33 years old and formerly of the University of Miami of Ohio. He was [...]

First, I have to give a birthday shout out to my son Gaston. I love you son. I'm very proud of you. Doing what I do, you come across like minds in the field. Branson Wright is one of those good brothas who has a passion for his writing. He's shopping around the story of Dwight Anderson. This ...

Please note that this post is not aimed to stir the pot as much as to get a gauge for what the consensus feeling is regarding LeBron James and his presidential campaign support. We all know that Michael Jordan refused to support one party or another, claiming that both parties by shoes. A cop-out, sure. But one that could have cost Jordan a few dollars in the Nike column. But...
