Members of a Los Angeles street gang are facing charges in the 2008 beating of a man who claimed he had a sex tape of Shaquille O'Neal and that the former NBA star was behind the attack.
The Miami Heat are already favored to win the 2012 NBA Title, but the Chicago Bulls are listed on one site with the second best odds.
Shaquille O'Neal announced on Twitter Wednesday that he is "about to retire" after 19 seasons in the NBA.
Ever since I was a little kid, I had always despised the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe I should blame Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy for the over-sized Rec-Specs. Maybe it was Kurt Rambis for being--well--Kurt Rambis.
When he belonged to Chicago, he had a thick and dark(ish) head of hair, a mustache worthy of Magnum P.I., and a championship swagger that befit the six-ring circus he ran on the city's West Side.
The Lakers uncharacteristic early exit from the playoffs on Sunday was an unlikely end to Phil Jackson's career. Regardless of whether Jackson appears courtside again, he is the greatest coach in American sports history. Period.
Seemingly every year there is a discussion about an athlete who stayed around one year too long. Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr. and Brett Favre are examples that come to mind.
No one could have predicted that the defending conference champions would be in such deep holes so early in the playoffs. The Lakers and Celtics are both down two games to none and find themselves in must-win situations.
The Bulls secured the top spot in the Eastern Conference awhile back and after winning their ninth straight game have home-court advantage throughout the playoffs.
If there is one thing I hate about the playoffs--be it the NBA, NFL, or NHL--it is when a team with a losing record makes it in, while a team from the opposite conference--with a winning record--has to stay home.
During this giddy, accelerating ride to their position as title contenders, the Bulls had learned that it was pretty much OK to lollygag for three quarters before letting Derrick Rose grab the game by the throat.
It is easy to think of the Bulls championship in 1991 as a start since it was the first of a glorious six title in eight season run.
A high-end Hollywood publicist could not have planned it any better for Derrick Rose and the Bulls.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant said earlier this week that he finds the criticism of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler unfair.
The last thing Derrick Rose wants to do is talk about his game. Ask him about any of his violent dunks or contortionist rushes to the rim, and he looks like you just told him he's headed to a three-hour dentist appointment.
Dasher and Dancer. Cookies and Milk. Mistle and Toe. And … NBA and Basketball?
Carlos Boozer's Bulls debut wasn't exactly what anyone expected. The Bulls suffered their worst loss of the season and followed it up with an overtime loss in Boston two days later. But since then the Bulls have won five straight games.
The Bulls have won three games in a row, despite their last win being one of their worst performances of the season.
Los Angeles Lakers head basketball coach Phil Jackson doesn't believe that a team from the NBA's Western Conference has the ability to break the Chicago Bulls all-time single season record of 72-10, set during the 1995-96 NBA season.
Even though he's 6-8 and 260 pounds and sitting at the end of the bench in a very expensive suit, it's easy to forget that the Bulls are playing – and playing well – without their second-best player.
Shannon Brown matched his season high with 21 points, hitting five 3-pointers against his hometown team and beating the Bulls 98-91.
There's an old saying in sports. "If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best." Well that's exactly what the Bulls will be attempting when they play the defending NBA Champs, the Los Angeles Lakers.
