Jamal Crawford Wins His Second NBA Sixth Man Of The Year Award

April 30, 2014 By Nick A.

Jamal Crawford Wins His Second NBA Sixth Man Of The Year Award

I don’t think anyone else came close to challenging Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers for this award this season. Congratulations to Jamal Crawford for winning the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award. With him narrowly missing out on this trophy last year, Crawford becomes only the fourth player in NBA history to […]

We Are One: Los Angeles Clippers & Their Fans Show Up To Play

We Are One: Los Angeles Clippers & Their Fans Show Up To Play

“We are one.” Those were the only words on the Los Angeles Clippers’ website today after NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling from the NBA for life and fined him $2.5 million. The banishment, with Silver adding later in the press conference that he urges the other NBA owners to vote to […]

Check Out Blake Griffin’s New $9 Million Crib

Check Out Blake Griffin's New $9 Million Crib

No, Blake Griffin did not actually buy an overpriced baby bed. He bought a house. A really, really nice house. We’re not exactly sure when Griffin had the time to shop for a home, as he and the Los Angeles Clippers are in tough first round battle with the Golden State Warriors (the Clippers are […]

Vince Carter Is Still Clutch

Vince Carter Is Still Clutch

There’s nothing Manu Ginobili could do. He did all he could. With 1.8 seconds left and the Dallas Mavericks down two to the San Antonio Spurs at 106-108, everyone thought the ball was either going to Monta Ellis or Dirk Nowitzki. But with them both covered, they went with the old man, Vince Carter. Here’s […]

Clippers Lose Opener, Blake Griffin Dumps Water On A Fan

April 19, 2014 By Nick A.

Today was a rough one. With the usual weekend chores, hockey playoffs, some baseball games and the NBA Playoffs, I was surely not going to get to all of those items today. So the dishes are going to have to wait until tomorrow. I was lucky enough to catch most of the Los Angeles Clippers […]

What’s With These NBA “Nickname” Jerseys?

April 8, 2014 By Nick A.

I found myself a bit confused when I was watching the Miami Heat/Brooklyn Nets game tonight. I was confused because either I had a really bad case of food poisoning tonight and the names on the players’ jerseys were changing on their own, or the NBA had changed the names of the players for some […]

Joakim Noah’s Dream Team Starting Five Includes Corey Brewer

March 26, 2014 By Nick A.

Joakim Noah is one eccentric, high energy fellow. I think we can all agree on that. His energy on the court is intense and it’s hard to find someone that is more passionate in a game. But when it comes to naming a dream team, Noah is definitely in a world of his own. He […]

Yes, Metta World Peace Compared Ryan Kelly To Kevin Durant

March 25, 2014 By Nick A.

At first, I thought it was just a joke. We’ve all seen and heard Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, make crazy comments in the past. So to hear this, I’m still not taking him seriously and it’s taken me a day to wait to make sure it was serious. It seems like […]

So Who Does The Mailman Like To Watch Play On TV?

March 14, 2014 By Nick A.

I have no idea how I didn’t hear about this until this afternoon, but whatever. Better late than never and I didn’t have a blog in February. Sue me. Anyways, Hall of Famer Karl Malone apparently admitted during All-Star weekend that he only watches about “10 or 12” players in the NBA nowadays and one […]

First! Yes, We’ve Started A Sports Blog. Aren’t You Just Excited!?

March 14, 2014 By Nick A.

I know what you’re thinking, “oh, fantastic, another sports blog. Yay.” No really, I know ’cause I’m a mind reader. Don’t close this page. Good. Anyways, we here at SportsLingo (we meaning me), thought that if our readers are already here trying to understand and learn more sport terminologies, then why should they go somewhere […]
