If the US/Greece game was supposed to be the Redeemers first test, it’s safe to say they passed with flying colors, winning 92-69. Once again, it was a large dosage of defensive pressure, Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, LeBron [...]

Team USA Upends Team Aussies

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

If you are the coach in the above picture, I’m not sure what you’d make of your team’s 87-76 victory over an undermanned, yet gallant Australian National Team. It what was certainly their “toughest” game in their pre-Olympic exhibition tour, Redeem Team USA beat the Aussies by 11 points. Before the Australia game, [...]

Team USA Rolls Lithuania

Friday, August 1st, 2008

The US Basketball invasion of China continued this morning and Team Redeem didn’t disappoint, dispatching the Lithuanians, 120 - 84. Led by a resurgent Dwyane Wade (and a nasty, NASTY windmill alley-oop dunk), the Americans look unstoppable on offense. True, there were some defensive lapses, however, credit Lithuania for knocking down open looks [...]

Redeem Team Cruises Against Turkey

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I rose this morning at 7am CST in order to check out Coach K and the gang take on Turkey and I wasn’t disappointed by what I saw. Led by LeBron’s my-ankle-is-fine 20 point outburst, the team controlled the contest throughout, although there were a few defensive lapses.
However, worries about a lack [...]

USA Basketball - Gold or Bust

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Not to be outdone by the NFL, Team USA opened their “training camp” as well as they prepare for the upcoming 2008 Olympic games (and their Friday exhibition match-up with Canada). In what should be no surprise, Kobe, LeBron and company are preparing like anything less than the gold medal will be a failure, [...]

A Boom Dizzle At The Clip Joint

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Baron Davis is living the Oakland area, making his way to LA’s other NBA team, the Los Angeles Clippers. In a slightly surprising move — it was indicated Davis wanted to stay in Golden State — the notoriously cheap Donald Sterling actually opened his checkbook in an effort to improve the team he owns.

Shaq Gets Kicked Off The Force

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

This is what you get when you get on the mic and spit crab rhymes about ex-teammates; rhymes that were expletive-laced and, quite frankly, reeked of jealousy: you get your badge revoked. Just ask Shaquille O’Neal.
Now that his petty performance has hit the mainstream, O’Neal is learning people are responsible for [...]

When Shaq Talks, Crap Comes Out

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

By now, you’ve probably seen the Shaq-Dissing-Kobe video, courtesy of TMZ. In it, O’Neal revitalizes a feud by issuing a lyrical assault towards the league MVP. Included in Shaq’s lyrical virtuoso are gems like, “tell me how my ass tastes” and “I’m a horse. Kobe ratted me out. That’s why I’m getting divorced. [...]

NBA Finals: Celebrating A Championship

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

I imagine if you were to look down upon the city of Boston from space today, the area would appear much greener than normal. Don’t worry, there’s not a fungus growing over Massachusetts (unless you don’t like Celtics fans), it’s just fans celebrating while their team parades around town.
While I found the above [...]

What Now, Kobe?

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Today, Kobe Bryant woke up to mountains of criticism and posts scoffing at the very idea of Bryant and Jordan being mentioned in the same sentence. This comes on the heels of what many thought was a redemptive season for Number 24. The MVP award was a considered a coronation of sorts and [...]
