NBA Set for Tip Off

10/27/09 - Posted by Evan Kessler under Sports

The end of October is almost without a doubt the most exciting time in sports. Football season is in full swing, hockey freshly underway, and today we find ourselves on the verge of both the World Series and the NBA season. We’d like to think the fall classic between the Yanks and Phillies has captured the hearts and minds, (not to mention keyboards,) of the social web, but instead it’s the premiere tip-off that has realtime net denizens searching up a storm. Roundball’s regular season kicks off with a slate of four games including Kobe and Co starting their title defense against the crosstown Clippers.

Dwayne Wade Gives Good Presents

12/27/08 - Posted by Brian Burns under Sports, US

Dwayne Wade, Miami Heat Guard and NBA MVP frontrunner is really, really good-looking (so say the ladies). Apparently, he’s also a really, really nice guy. D-Wade just handed the keys to a brand new house over to Dawn Smith, a South Florida woman whose house burned to ground only days before Christmas. All her possessions were inside.

Wade not only hooked Dawn up with a new place, but threw in some furnishings, clothing and gifts too… all to make an otherwise bummer of a Christmas that much better. Wade’s foundation - Wade’s World - will make the payments on the house until Dawn can take over, or until it gets foreclosed.

“[The house is] a big-time relief,” Smith said, beside herself. “Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Oh, God, thank you so much.” Apparently, in her rush to thank God, she forgot the guy who actually bought it, and gave it to her. The hot-bodied baller-turned sweetie didn’t seem fazed though. “Hopefully, you’ll like it,” he said.

Might as well strap jet packs to the rest of the players; LeBron James is a muscle-y, Redbully ball of superpowers.
