THE YARDSTICK WITH WHICH NBA STATISTICS ARE MEASURED

TomyeWest reviewed Kobe Bryant. May 20, 2009

An all-time great!

I'm a Southern California boy, so most Kobe "haters" are automatically going to assume that my opinion is biased and therefore means nothing. To those of you that feel this way, stop reading now. T … more

ajrawls reviewed Manny Pacquiao. April 30, 2009

Simply the best

The boxing world is in a recession. Not a financial recession but, a talent recession that has been brewing for years. The sport has been looking for a new star since before Floyd Mayweather Jr. That … more

Tuffworldinc reviewed Kobe Bryant. April 28, 2009

Kobe's career

I don't know about you, but when Kobe came into the league as a high school phenomenon I could not stand him. He was cocky, oh so cocky, and not a member of the Detroit Pistons. :) I thought that this … more

drogoff reviewed Lance Armstrong. April 23, 2009

Impossible not to root for him

Full Disclosure: I am not a cycling fan. I cannot imagine spending time in front of the TV watching a race. Nevertheless, I find Lance Armstrong to be inspiring and the drama that has created to be quite … more

ari1974 reviewed Rafael Nadal. April 22, 2009

The greatest grinder in the history of tennis?

TeamAWAC reviewed Tiger Woods. April 21, 2009

Everybody Loves Tiger Woods

I'm not ashamed to admit that I have a man-crush on Tiger Woods. The guy is such an amazining competitor that I find myself watching televised golf only to see what kind of unbelievable shots he'll … more

DesignDude reviewed The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. April 20, 2009

Ostensibly the Hottest Cheerleaders in America

The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders is an odd topic for me to approach reviewing. As an adult, I don't pay a whole lot of attention to sports, let alone to the methods incorporated by sports organizations … more

Start Like a Tiger, Finish Like a Phil

plantsandbooks reviewed Gladiator: A True Story Of 'Roids, Ra.... April 10, 2009

Heroes Get Remembered; but Legends Never Die

Elizabeth reviewed Mike Mizanin. March 08, 2009

Hurry! Get this guy an agent, before he makes another bad choice!

The Real World wasn't a bad enough idea, this guy had to go into professional wrestling, aka acting? Come on, I can forgive the first bad decision, like the first Real World show, but then to go make … more

darin3 reviewed Allen Iverson. March 03, 2009

Better off the bench

Don't get me wrong, Allen Iverson is one of the best NBA players of all time, quite possibly. The guy is MAYBE 6' tall, and is able to score at will, slipping through the 7-foot monsters with relative … more

arichards reviewed Self-Massage for Athletes. February 06, 2009

How to stroke yourself

According to this attractively presented book, professional athletes do it before, during and after workouts. Hey, if Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and Mia Hamm say it's okay, who am I to argue? Put … more

jrjohnson reviewed Jason McElwain. February 02, 2009

Goosebumps every time you watch it

This story ran on most news broadcasts and it's one of those feel good personal stories that they typically only run on the weekend news... probably ran on a Sunday. In a time of high paid celebrity … more

This is the reason why I love basketball

ProfessionalLush reviewed Michael Phelps. December 17, 2008

It's not his fault swimming has a zillion events

I am one of those people that sometimes hates things just because everyone else likes them and won't shut up about them. It was true for the movie Juno, but I've tried to resist when it comes to … more

avantchicago reviewed Shawn Kemp. December 15, 2008

Before he was the Reign Man...

Probably as much as anyone, I have followed Shawn Kemp's career with extreme interest. Originally from Indiana, basketball runs through my veins, but it was Kemp who baptized me and made me a zealot of … more

avantchicago reviewed Kobe Bryant. December 14, 2008

Kobe is the best player in the NBA

Can the reigning MVP be the most underrated player in the league? Well Kobe Bryant was just that for the previous 11 seasons. A player who is so humble - like Barry Bonds - that the general … more

CharlesAshbacher reviewed Self-Massage for Athletes. October 11, 2008

This is one of the most logical and helpful self-medication books ever published.

The title of this book should more aptly be named, "Self-Massage for People", as everyone can benefit from having their hurts rubbed. Massage is a natural form of therapy that stimulates the area and … more

TeamAWAC reviewed Aaron Rodgers. September 09, 2008

There's a new A-Rod in Town

I have to admit, I've jumped on the bandwagon. Aaron Rodgers made his first NFL start on Sept 8, 2008, replacing the retired/un-retired/traded legend, Brett Favre. Essentially, Rodgers stepped into … more

Great way to get started as your own masseuse...

So while it'd be nice to have your own personal masseuse like Lance Armstrong, realistically it's not gonna happen. Self-Massage for Atheletes by Rich Poley shows how you can effectively be your own massage … more
