LAKERS PLAY DIRTY AGAINST ROCKETS

May 7, 2009 by Joel Huerto 6 Comments

The Los Angeles Lakers are going a little overboard in trying to shed their “soft” reputation. Against the Houston Rockets in Game 2, the Lakers lay down some serious smack talk during the game and smacked the Rockets with two vicious elbows. Both were calculated and delivered with malice.

SHAQ SAYS ‘KOBE IS A BEAST’

February 1, 2009 by Joel Huerto 2 Comments

After being selected to his 15th – and possibly his final – NBA All-Star Game, Shaquille O’Neal began reflecting.

PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF HOOPS

August 12, 2008 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The sport of basketball was the biggest winner in the game between the United States and China.
