April 11, 2019
The Professor does not fear The Beard.
Not a stretch that an And 1 streetballer would have skills that a pro baller would covet. You remember Rafer Alston, right? He went to the league out And 1. So, check out what The Professor has to show James Harden.

‘Nerds’ Embarass Street Ballers On The Hardtop (Video)
January 8, 2019
Hahaa! This is like real life “White Men Can’t Jump.” The so-called ballers were so dismissive of the two ‘nerds’ that just wanted to play (okay, the ‘nerds’ were ringers)! And they got GOT!
My college teammate and I disguised as nerds were dunking on the hoopers at Venice Beach!
I played at the University of Oregon, Pepperdine University, & Rice University
Bishop played at Rice University.

Comedy: Isaiah Thomas And Kevin Hart Show They Have The ‘Balls’ To Get In The Ice Tub And Talk About The Big Men’s Game (Video)
September 28, 2018
Bwaaahahaaa! Kev started off with the ’94 Pistons Captain Isaiah, friend to Magic Johnson… This is young I.T. not that ‘Bad Boy’ (plus he was only 5 years old back in 1994). Silly. And it only gets sillier from there.
Kevin Hart and Isaiah Thomas bond on being the short guys. Isaiah Thomas talks about his longest day ever- being the last pick in the NBA draft, losing his tooth and his top 5 Point Guards in the NBA.

Changing The Game: Lacrosse Comes To Harlem (Video)
August 10, 2018
Up top, it’s all about the blacktop. The lyric, “Basketball is my favorite sport,” not lacrosse… right? Well, these kids are into it AND it’s helping them level up to a better shot in life.
Basketball courts may still dominate north of 125th Street in New York City, but more kids than ever are taking up lacrosse as their sport of choice. We followed Javon to hear what his friends think about lacrosse and how he plans to make his mark on the game.
– VICE SPORTS
Watch. Might have to change that lyric.

Okay, just so you know… hooper cutie Candace Parker has always been the finest wine to yours truly. When the world is going Serena Williams, I am [not so] low-key saying, “Yeaaahh, leave Candace aaaaall to meee.”
And her husband… rats.

June 1, 2017
We agree with Tracy McGrady….. Fight us!
(Respect to Paul. He had his points. But Lebron had more points. Ha! PLUS he uplifts teammates. And he actually looks to pass the ball. But, you watch and decide, and do you.)

Sports: Lebron James’ Free Throw Style Is In A Constant State Of Change (Video)
May 30, 2017
Lebron James has had yet another stellar season, and talk of him replacing Air Jordan as the heir to the title of Best Baller Of All. His free throw game has been kind of lame (on the low) but he has been trying to fix it. Trying VERY hard. And ESPN has been eyeballing and has taken the time to elucidate every time King James has changed his style up in an attempt to do better at the line.
Damn. They even gave each switch up name!

HILARIOUS!!
Remember when 2 Chainz took on The Human Highlight Reel aka Dominique Wilkins? Well, go back to that post here… AFTER you watch what we have here above… because Titty Boi 2 Pointer is balling with the Big Leaguers again. And he is giving them enough to where the NBA’ers have to give him some talk back. Get ’em 2 Chainz. Rep the ATL well!
That tape –
Bonus behind the scenes trash talk from the pro-ballers after the jump. A whole other thing. Really good though.

Ice Cube’s BIG3 Basketball League Is Coming To Barclays Center This Summer (Video)
May 6, 2017
4-pointers. Hand-checking. That’s BIG3 basketball.@icecube & @MichaelRapaport break down the rules. pic.twitter.com/9NFlLS6eK2
— FS1 (@FS1) April 30, 2017
Okay, this could be a score for FS1 on Monday nights. Loving the names of the teams for BIG3 Basketball at Barclays (after the jump). Now, if they can avoid the XFL trap of getting too gimmicky with a game folks love… just make exciting basketball… not reinventing the game, just eliminating the lame from that lane… we got something! Plus, handchecking and fairplay freethrows.
Watching Cube and Rappaport break it down in conversation might pique your curiosity to tune in June.

Former NBA Player Kenny Anderson’s New Documentary Film “Mr. Chibbs” (Trailer)
April 6, 2017
One of the best pure point guards in the NBA.
That’s Kenny Anderson. And that’s a hell of an intro for a basketball player… drunk driving, womanizing, babymaking machine. And balancing it all, reflecting on and coming to grips with it all, and the journey forward as a sober, responsible man and father… ought to make for one hell of a documentary.
Yep. Call the movie “Mr Chibbs.” Looks like a slam dunk for a must watch.
