Some people might claim, that basketball is an art form. And they do have a point. Elegance is basically everywhere. A cross over here, incredible hang time there. And don’t forget about those perfect shooting forms. It’s all poetry in motion. Of course though, some players are more elegant than others. Some do feed off […]
Waiting is tough. No one enjoys it. Especially if he’s waiting for his biggest dream to come true. A dream, that is most likely to change his life forever. That said, for some talents the NBA draft might feel like torture. Remember Bobby Portis? Having been projected a mid-lottery pick last year, he had to wait. […]
With the NBA Finals only a couple of hours away, it may seem like we have forgotten about a certain someone. Everyone is talking about the Warriors and their Rocky’esque comeback heroics. About how they’ve given themselves the opportunity to go back-to-back and more importantly, to crown a historic regular season which made them the […]
In cooperation with FIVE Magazine Imagine you wake up in the middle of the night. Shaking. Sweating. Nauseas. You feel partially paralyzed. So you call the medical staff who tells you that you’re either suffering from food poisoning or an intestinal stomach virus. They also tell you that you won’t be able to follow your […]
Let’s assume you’re into basketball and finally find your way to New York City. Of course, you’re gonna visit the Garden – and watch the Knicks. The problem: in the past few years, the Bockers were probably as far away from high-quality basketball as Andre Drummond is from being a half-decent free-throw shooter. You might […]
It’s been the talk of the town for weeks. No more guessing. No more trying to figure out who’d beat whom. It’s decision day. The Golden State Warriors, the team that has just won 72 games, that features shooting wizard Steph Curry will face the 1995/96 Chicago Bulls. Remember? That team that was the first […]
Sometimes all it takes is one shot. One shot to sum things up. One shot to (kind of) finish a game. One shot to create a myth. One shot to freeze a scenery that, for the previous hours, has been as vibrant as they get. Obviously we’re talking about a basketball shot, right? Close! We’re […]
It’s not a pro game. With all that television time, the attention, the hype it might feel different, but still: not a pro game. In the end it does not make much of a difference anyways. Just think about yourself. Don’t you enjoy wearing some nice kicks while playing pick-up ball on your favorite court? […]
Remember those days? Those days when shoelaces were fat and Michael Jackson… Sorry, I mean those days when shorts perfectly fitted their product description and even better fitted their wearer’s thighs. Must have been the 80s. Well, it was the 90s. Back then, in college basketball everyone – from massive 7-foot Center to tiny 6-foot […]
So it begins. The Madness is about to take off. And this year could get madder than ever. So mad even that, in comparison, Ron Burgundy seems like your average news anchor. It must have been years since the tournament was as hard to predict as this time. Believe me, this is not just some lame […]
