Hooped Up

To drum up some buzz about her new reality series “Basketball Wives” on VH1 airing next month.

Shaq’s ex-wife, Shaunie O’Neal sat down with Essence magazine to talk about her marriage to Shaquille O’Neal, infidelity rumors, groupies and how things are between them today. She also shared news that should spike attendance at Miami Heat games for the rest of the season.

Shaq still has an injured thumb, but I’m guessing he’ll give this interview two thumbs down despite his doctors wishes.

Shaquille O’Neal and his estranged wife Shaunie O’Neal have finalized their divorce according to TMZ.

Both parties have reached agreement on various issues including property, child custody and support. Which basically means Shaq’s new alias will be “The Big-Alimonius”.

Under the agreement, the Florida courts will have jurisdiction to officially divorce the couple and handle any issues that may arise involving property division and spousal support.

California courts will have jurisdiction over any issues related to child custody. Read More »

Cleveland Cavaliers deliver a thorough throttling of the ‘wait ’til next year’ Knicks, 124-93
Ultimately salary cap space doesn’t show up in the box score. That’s a lesson that the Knicks have been swallowing just about every night for the last two years and they took it again Monday night one more time from a team they would dearly love to plunder. Looking like a collection of guys playing out the string of their contracts, the New York Knicks were throttled by the Cavs, 124-93.

It was a three-game season series sweep for the Cavs (47-14), who collected their fourth straight win and eighth in row against the Knicks (20-39) dating back two seasons.

Cavaliers center Shaquille O’Neal left Thursday’s game at Boston in the second quarter with a significant right thumb sprain. He did not return to the game and is listed as OUT for Friday night’s game at Toronto.

He will be re-evaluated in Toronto on Friday and his status will be updated as appropriate.

Press Release

According to a NBA players poll, new acquired McGrady of the New York Knicks was ranked as the most overrated player in the league receiving 9% of the 173 votes cast, beating Indian Pacers swingman Danny Granger by 4%.

New teammate Al Harrington of also received one vote. Shaquille O’Neal, David West and suspended Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas received 3% of the dubious distinction and 2010 All-Stars LeBron James, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Dwyane Wade and Gerald Wallace all received more than one vote each.

It’s a good thing that overrated list are usually overrated. See who made the top 5 of this list sponsored by Haterade, quenching the thirst of mediocre talent since the inception of free agency.

Back in the good ole days of the formerly named WWF when 90% of the wrestlers you followed were still alive. The Legion of Doom (who are still kickin’) was the illest tag team in the squared circle and nobody messed with them. So it’s only fitting that K1X created a dope tee calling LeBron James and Shaquille O’Neal the L.O.D of the NBA cause nobody wants to bang with them either.

Lets see if the Lakers play the role of the Demolition (including Crush) when they visiting the Cavaliers tonight.

Already Shaquille O’Neal has been allegedly linked to a few girls on the side that are not Shaunie O’Neal his soon to be ex-wife who has filed for legal separation with intent to divorce. Now Shaq has been allegedly linked to a third mistress, Swedish model Dominica Westling.

According to RadarOnline.com, Shaq and Dominica Westling have been an item for the past 18-months. Dear, Shaq some records should be left to Wilt Chamberlain because Penicillin must have been Wilt’s Pippen to his Jordan. Bo-lee-dat!

I hate McDonalds, like Shaq and love video games. So if this game exist somewhere, I must have it! Either way, this video is awesome and it’s right up there with the Psychedelic Shaq Blue video as the oddest Shaq video I have ever seen. McPwning Ronald on a NBA Jam court to NBA Hangtime music??? Yes please, and throw in one of those free smiles too.

The other characters that get “what for” from Shaq before ole Ronald in order of appearance are: Hatsune Miku, Takakazu Abe, and Hikkoshibaba — who ever they are.

Forget about LeBron James playing tight end or wide receiver for the Cleveland Browns, put him under center and make him a quarterback.

Stop being so good at everything LeBron, I’m getting a complex.

The NBA is celebrating the decade that was, and you should too. It wasn’t that long ago that everything was Y2K mania and planes were supposed to drop out of the sky and the rise of the machines would actually happen.

Anyway, the NBA is kicking of the celebration by letting you pick who had the Best Individual Playoff Performance of the decade. Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Shaq, Tim Duncan, Dwyane Wade or LeBron James?

With out a doubt, my vote goes to Allen Iverson with his 48 point performance against the Lakers in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals. Watching him step over Tyron Lue after nailing a trey bomb like Lue was an arthritic old guard dog napping was a classic moment.
