Random Athlete Of The Day- God Shammgod
Before there was God’s Gift Achiuwa, there was God Shammgod. God played High School basketball at La Salle Academy in Manhattan, where he was obviously omnipotent and dominant. God made the McDonald’s All-American Team with star caliber players like Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Vince Carter, Chauncy Billups, Kevin Garnett, Antawn Jamison, Stephon Marbury, Paul Pierce, and…...

Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda…
by Quinn Peterson / @QwinFNP
If you were to talk to someone a half-dozen years ago or so, you’d be hard-pressed in convincing them that between Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, Allen Iverson, Gilbert Arenas and Baron Davis not a single game would be played in the ’11-12 NBA season.
But oh, how quickly they fall—about as quickly as they crossed and darted by defenders. They should...

North Carolina Alumni Top Richest in NBA
Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal did a study of NBA players’ earnings based on which college they attended. The WSJ took every player that entered the draft since 1985 and collected the salary data. Then they assigned the earnings to each players’ college. However, the data does not include this year’s rookies.
Here are the top 10 schools whose alumni earned the most...

The Timberwolves Are Finally Looking Like A Team
If you’ve been a basketball fan for a while, you’ll remember those Garnett led Timberwolves teams. In the beginning of the Garnett-era, Minnesota had guys like Stephon Marbury and Tom Gugliotta, who helped form as a very solid trio in the mid-90’s. However, Gugliotta left, and Marbury, mid-way through the 1998 season decided he wanted to be “in a bigger market.” Sound...

Video: NBA’s Best Crossover: Jamal Crawford Or Derrick Rose
We’ve seen a few guys become victims of some pretty nasty ankle breaking crossovers recently. Russell Westbrook got Luke Ridnour with this one. JR Smith broke three pairs of ankles over in China (including one-time NBA star Stephon Marbury) in the same game. The NBA asked a few players who they felt has the [...]

As you know Denver Nuggets baller J.R. Smith is out balling with a bunch of unathletic, short, slow, can’t jump, can barely shoot white guys and Stephon Marbury out in CHINA.

J.R. Smith doesn't care about the wellbeing of your ankles
Man, ankles in China just aren't made the way they used to be anymore. J.R. Smith is making those things crumble to dust left and right. Now that he's got the crossover perfected, he should probably start work on that whole finishing thing because getting stuffed and bricking shots isn't really a good look.
PS- Stephon Marbury is still alive?

J.R. Smith Snapped and Bagged Three Pairs Of Ankles In China
J.R. Smith seems to be enjoying himself lately playing pro ball in China. We have some video evidence courtesy of SLAM which shows he hasn;t been too kind to his opponent’s ankles. One of the sets of ankles J.R. took off with were none other than Stephon Marbury. I don’t think I have seen someone have such careless disregard for three separate players ankles in...

Russell Westbrook Signs 5 Year $78 Million Extension With Oklahoma City Thunder
Didn’t see that coming.
Many people assume whenever Westbrook had the opportunity he would bolt because he didn’t want to be Stephon Marbury to Kevin Durant’s Garnett.
But money has a way of changing things quickly and by giving him a max contract as reported by Yahoo Sports it pretty much secures the Durant/Westbrook duo for the next half decade.
Could it be the...

JR Smith Breaks Stephon Marbury’s Ankles So Bad They Let His Sister Back in China (Video)
Here is what is funny about the video and what is great and horrible about JR Smith.
Extremely talented guy, but after he sends Starbury to the floor, he bricks the shot. Highlight is great, but no points out of the possession. I am sure his sister though tried to bully someone into giving him the three points anyway (JR Smith’s Sister Goes on Rampage in China, Chokes Out Woman...

Video: JR Smith Breaking Ankles (including Stephon Marbury’s) in China
In typical J.R. Smith fashion his stint playing in China for the Zhejiang Cyclones has been hit and miss. Literally. Smith has notched some impressive games overseas (like the 52 point, 22 rebound and 7 steals effort late last year) but not without a couple headaches along the way. Check out this video of Smith breaking [...]

J.R. Smith Shattered Three Pairs Of Ankles In A Single CBA Game
Here is video evidence that J.R. Smith's extended stay in China has, statistically speaking, involved more broken ankles than brawls spearheaded by his sister. Heart of Beijing has dutifully compiled video of three incidents: The first you see here actually caused an injury, and the final step-back took out Stephon Marbury of the Beijing Ducks.More »

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook Have to Be Separated During Confrontation
There is only one way to say this.
When Russell Westbrook has an opportunity to leave Oklahoma City he will. He simply isn’t equipped to be a “Robin” to KD’s “Batman”. Westbrook is currently Bobby Brown trying to do 12 minute versions of Mr. Telephone Man during the New Edition tour.
A similar situation took place many years ago with Kevin Garnett...

Unfortunately For CBA’ers, The NBA Is BACK
Earlier tonight I watched a Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) game, a habit I’ve adopted during Sunday evenings while living in Beijing. Since the CBA season began more than a month ago, I’ve enjoyed watching quite a few of the games, especially the games of such foreign imports as J.R.
