Marion Jones Seeks Redemption in Basketball
Sprinter Marion Jones has certainly been on a wild run this decade: winning gold in the Sydney games in 2000, posing in red sequins on the cover of Vogue, then admitting to steroid use and serving a six-month prison term for perjury.
The 34-year-old mother of of three is starting a new chapter in her sports career: Marion Jones is aiming to play some hoops in the WNBA. She told the New York Times that she plans to play basketball in Europe this Winter and hopes to play professionally in the women's wing of the NBA next season.
Basketball Toys For Dogs Make a Slam Dunk!
I know my pooch loves any game involving him . . .
Pampered Pals: Spread the Lakers Love
ICYMI, the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA finals on Sunday. (Yay, nay, or huh?) Despite controversy over costs and crowd control, a parade kicks off downtown this morning. If you're not in LA, or want to bring on bragging rights for the whole year, check out these team accessories just for the four-legged set.
Sneak in Sprints While You're on the Court
Nobody is debating my sportsmanship or nominating me for MVP, but the NBA Finals inspired my husband and I to hit the basketball court this past weekend. My hands haven't touched a basketball in years, so I was expecting the afternoon to be a hilarious mess. Instead, I discovered a fun new workout that I can't wait to repeat after my soreness subsides.
Lil Tip: Get In on March Madness
With only hours until the first tip-off for the 2009 NCAA Basketball Tournament, there is no better time to get your lil one out on the court for a little one-on-one. Team sports, such as basketball, enable kids to work as a group and encourage the concept of taking turns. The game also works on hand-eye coordination and gross motor skills.
Guess Who?
Guess which one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors is shooting hoops?
NBA Finals: Into It or Sick of It?
Well the NBA Finals have finally begun, and I don't know about you, but I'm glad they're here. The sooner they're here, the sooner they'll be over, and the sooner I'll have my husband back.
So how do you feel about the NBA Finals?
The Best Cheerleaders Ain't Always the Prettiest
This one-man cheer squad not only got the crowd in gear to get rowdy, he did whatever it took to distract the other team from scoring. He traded in his pom-poms and short skirt for a simple Speedo — in his team's color, natch — and bounced around like a legit cheerleader for a couple hours, directly behind the hoop. Boyfriend made a royal arse of himself in the process, but hey — that's what crazy fans are for.
This Dog Plays D!
Well, March Madness is officially here and, in the spirit of things, I've looked for the best baller I could find to tip off the competition. Of course, when I saw a smooshy Frenchie displaying such skills on the "court," I knew I had my pick. Clearly basketball's not just for the likes of Air Bud – it seems like pups of all kinds enjoy chasing a bouncy ball of any size!He Runs, He Jumps, He . . . Flies?
I usually don't pay these halftime slam-dunk challenges any attention, but this is too funny to pass up. Watch this fan get a head start on a slam dunk. He may not be much of a ball player, but I bet he's one hellavuh bicyclist.
