Allen Iverson Calls It Quits … Again.
AI is the only guy in America who can be viewed as totally selfish while acting totally selfless. The Sixers released the 11-time all-star after missing a month of the season to care for his seriously ill 4-year-old daughter. In a world where “deadbeat” is more often associated with dad than “available,” why is the [...]
King Herrod’s NBA Cliffs Notes: Bitter February Nights

[...]
Pistons’ Coach Curry getting free pass
I’ll start by admitting it (I guess they call that “transparency” now): I am from Detroit. I grew up a fan of pretty much every Detroit team-except the Shock, because I don’t believe in rooting to two teams that play the same sport [please get the joke, please get the joke, please get the joke].
