Abdul-Jabbar Diagnosed With Leukemia
A bit of somber news to report this morning as according to the Associated Press, NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is being treated for a rare form of leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia – a condition that was diagnosed back in December 2008.

Ginobili Helps Shorthanded Spurs Beat Raptors 131-124
The San Antonio Spurs, by at least their standards, are struggling. Injuries have been the main culprit as during Monday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, they were missing Tony Parker and Tim Duncan – out due to injuries.

The X-rays taken of Parker’s [...]
The Good, Bad And Ugly
I will admit, the season is what? One week old (give or take a day)? Yet even after that length of time, there is a window pane to glance out of in reference to how some players are doing. Some are doing real well and some…let’s just say that they’re stinking up the arena which [...]
Jackson’s Agent Adding Fuel To Fire
I think it is safe to say that it is old news that Golden State Warriors swingman Stephen Jackson is demanding a trade from the team. Unfortunately for him, he isn’t exactly making any friends in that respect, according to The Sporting News. It appears that in this case, it isn’t Jackson who is the [...]
