USC continues to rebuild in the post-O.J. Mayo era by landing a big transfer in Alex Stepheson from North Carolina, according to today’s Los Angeles Times. Stephenson is a 6-foot-9 junior power forward, who is seeking a waiver to gain immediate eligibility.
But this isn’t any ordinary transfer. The main reason Stepheson is enrolling at […]

Anybody with a pulse has probably been keeping up with what’s been going on at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China.
The United States basketball team destroyed Spain today 119-82 to advance to the medal round. This should come as no surprise. The U.S. has been abusing the competition since they got off the plane […]

Memphis Grizzly O.J. Mayo did not disappoint in his first Vegas summer league game on Friday. Not only did he hand out 5 dimes and score 15, he also threw down an emphatic jam after scaling down the court in 3 dribbles.
Poor quality, but still slammin!
I’d like to see Kevin Love do that!!
Minnesota just […]

Can we please stop referring to certain college basketball players and college athletes in general as “Student Athletes”?
How much of a student do you really think Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, O.J. Mayo, Derrick Rose and the other one-and-dones and two-and-dones were really students? How much time do you think they spent in the class compared […]

The answer - Plenty!
Now that Brandon Jennings is setting a precedent and blowing off both college and the NBA for a year or more to play in Europe, expect more high school players to follow suit. In this great country of ours, nothing is going to stop someone from making a living, and you can’t […]

On Thursday night Minnesota had a lot of people respecting them, believing they had made the correct selection at #3. But when folks woke up Friday, many were probably not too surprised the team who gave up Kevin Garnett traded away O.J. Mayo too. This time the T-Wolves didn’t get a Al […]

THE 08 NBA Draft is fast approaching and I for one love to predict when certain players will get drafted and whether they will become the next Eddy Curry disaster or the next Monta Ellis find.
O.J. Mayo USC
O.J. has been talked about ad nauseam on this site as you probably already know (sorry […]

Is like a week without sunshine and sky rocketing gas prices in California.
Try as I might, there was no news this week about my favorite potential illegal recruit from USC, who could single handedly bring down and entire college basketball program. I wonder what L.A. Times O.J. Mayo beat writer Ben Bolch did with all […]

Ben Bolch of the Los Angeles Times seems to be as enthralled with this O.J. Mayo thing as I am (it is the middle of June after all and what else is going on in college basketball?).
Now he reports that former Mayo lackey and whistle blower Louis Johnson met with the NCAA, the Pacific 10 […]
