But Can He Play?

According to reports, Kevin Durant did not exactly wow people at the NBA tryouts. Much is being made of the fact that he could not bench press 185 pounds.

The best quote comes from his former coach at Texas,Rick Barnes, who told the Dallas Morning News,"If they are looking for weight lifters to come out of Texas, that's not what we're producing. There are a lot of guys who can bench press 300 pounds in the NBA who couldn't play dead in a cowboy movie. Kevin's the best player in the draft -- period, at any position."

Well said Rick.

Dirk Nobigzki Gets Award?

Dallas Mavs center Dirk Nowitzki was named the NBA's most valuable player. What? Isn't this the guy who whined and couldn't play and let the Warriors run all over him and his team? The only award this guy should be getting is "Bawler of the Week."

The Demise Of Big Mouth

The recent humiliation of the Dallas Mavs by the Warriors could not have happened to a "nicer" guy. Big mouth and all around buffoon Mark Cuban saw his team and himself humiliated by a supposedly lesser team. Karma does work. So go crawl back in a hole Marky boy.

Dumb and Dumber

Former NBA All-Star Micheal Ray Richardson and current Albany Patroons head coach has been suspended from the team.

Kobe To NBA:Where's The Beef?
