NBA Draft Rewind

The NBA Draft had its share of winners and losers, and the zillion citizens of Earth are debating about it day in and day out without paying heed to their breath. The truth is, no one will really know until the season rolls on and we see Greg Oden breaking backboards or when (not if) we see Kevin Durant shockingly shooting 45% from half-court shots.True enough we can only be so sure as to who the

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. Full Court NBA Blog proudly brings to you the infamous 24-second video that I would never pay $2 for and just wait for the world wide web to pirate a copy for me to watch (prolong pronunciation of "a"): the Areyoukiddingme Bynum, the MostashamedGMintheworld Buss; the Kobe Bryant video and audio!

Technical Knock Out

With the NBA off-season's most exciting and awaited event, the NBA Draft, over with; the time has been slugging and crawling along one microsecond at a time. In other words, it has been SLoOoooOOooOoW. No vicious dunks nor nifty behind-the-back full court passes for some wicked alley-oops. So here's a video to help the NBA fans roll along the off-season.I'd like to know what happened to the

Breezing Through School

A blog entry by Greg Oden prior to the NBA Draft:People of YardBarker Nation im going to tell you all first. The number im going to where is 52. Its a mix of my high school and college number. So wherever i go i hope to get 52. I know its a ugly number but to me its just a number and if i do good i think one person may where it.

2007 NBA Mock Draft

With only 2 days remaining before one of the most speculated NBA Draft in recent memory, Full Court would like to create its very own mock draft projecting who would, could, and should be drafted by the first 8 teams on the June 28 draft and why. Unorthodox as it may seem, it will try to predict the draft picks coming from an Average Joe's perspective with the privilege of not having the pressure

Alonzo Mourning Almost Decided On Retirement

Alonzo Mourning is just about done playing 'Very Important Person', as he is reported to decide soon whether he will indeed return next season to play or finally sit back, relax, and sip off a coconut in the beaches of Florida in his pending consideration for retirement. Sportsline writes:"On April 30, after the 2006 NBA champions were swept from this year's playoffs by the Chicago Bulls,

Cleveland Cavaliers Looking For the King's Sidekick

Weeks removed from one of the most lopsided and painful thrashings in NBA Finals history, the Cavaliers GM Danny Ferry is now looking for a formidable sidekick to stand aside LeBron James and push the Cavaliers a little further up the peak of the mountain. With the Cavaliers already feeling the critical free-agency mistake they committed by signing an underachieving Larry Hughes to a maximum

The Rise of The New Era or The Rise of a Degeneration

For over 15 years, the 'big man' has dominated the NBA Championships and is regarded to as the one and only catalyst that any elite team lacks for that final push in the NBA Finals. For the past 15 years, four dominant big men from four different teams have led their team to the NBA's most coveted prize, namely: Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Hakeem Olajuwon; and if not for a

Throw Down: Reel #3

It looks like the experiment is still reeling. The Sacramento Kings continue to immensely search for the perfect coach to replace the long-gone Rick Adelman by appointing former-King Reggie Theus to replace the bust-of-a-coach Eric Musselman. Well, it shouldn't be too hard to find a coach to manage a how-the-hell center in the sloppy Brad Miller, or "the" Ron Artest who just might knock out a fan

I Change My Mind: Draft Kevin Durant

Durant or Oden? Oden or Durant?Dreams will come true, and hopes will turn into lies. Eyes will be damp, for joy will permeate the soul as sorrow curses under its own breath. Welcome to the annual NBA-Draft. Ever since the LeBron James lottery of 2003, the NBA-Draft has never really hyped up as it should; the draft of the decade did not literally mean a decade, but a long time nonetheless. Four

In The Middle of Kobe Bryant's Life and Death

In one of the greatest achievements of my young life as a tadpole; I am proud to say that I have single-handedly turned Robert Horry, one of the world's most hated man three weeks ago, into the world's most beloved man overnight with much appreciation to all the basketball junkies and gods. In an attempt to overcome my past hurdle, I have decided to take upon yet a more supreme individual

10 days and counting until the greatest, on the positive note, thing to happen for the Portland Trailblazers in over a decade, and Kevin Pritchard says that he still doesn't know; and the world probably has its share of cheers and tips for Blazer's General Manager. The fact of the matter is, Kevin Pritchard has already made up his mind. They say patience is a virtue; but in truth, silence is the

Greg Oden: Hormones of a Monkey

I know it. You know it. The nation knows it. The whole world damn well knows it.Greg Oden recently came from an Indiana Fever game when the Fever girls went up against Diana Taurasi and the Phoenix Mercury, and lost, sadly; but as luck seems faint for all basketball fanatics, Greg Oden bounces in and rewards avid-readers with a blog post that may send Gilbert Arenas a run for his money as Greg

Throw Down: Reel #1

With the off-season officially starting today, all eyes shift to one of the biggest events in any NBA season's year: The NBA Draft. One team in particular stood out in draft-lottery day other than the Portland Trailblazers, and that was the Boston Celtics. It was a turn-of-history 19-years in the making with the ultimate chance to get either one of the prospected superstars of the next decade.

It's All About the Money

If you ask me, he could pass for Goofy.With much speculation revolving around Gilbert Arenas' future as he announced that he has decided to opt out of his contract following the 2008 season; Gilbert has finally shone some light to pacify some fears in the hearts of Wizards-fans and Zero-fans of the like, announcing that he wasn't going anywhere and opting out is just a business decision. He plans

Pistons Trade Delfino To Raptors

There comes a time to every man's life when he should realize and ultimately accept that his once proud semi-dynasty is slowly deteriorating; and plugs must be pulled, sockets must be replaced, cogs and sprockets must be unscrewed, and finally reinforce the foundation that was once great so that it may be great once more. Like every man, Joe Dumars is coming across this very phase in his life as

Who is Charlie Brown's father?Father's Day is right around the corner and what better way for a sports blog to celebrate it than recognizing the most potent fertilizers in the world of sports. 100% Injury Rate did us all a favor by creating one sick list of the most achieving jackhammers in sports today, and it is very much appreciated.

MBP: Most Band-wagoning Player

1.. 2.. 3.. 4.. 5.. 6.. ..7; 7 titles. Prick.While most of everyone have already laid their heads down in dismay, no matter how expected the outcome could have been, the San Antonio Spurs franchise as well as their fans from Texas and around the world raise their heads up in proud victory. Of all of the celebrating junkies in the middle of the court, one man in particular stood out from the rest.

Please Wear Seatbelts

It will always be a mystery as to how an SUV, a GMC, would be struck by a Jaguar and overturn like it did on J.R. Smith as his SUV crashed with a Jaguar and claimed the life of his friend. What isn't a mystery however, is how important wearing a seatbelt is when inside any automobile. Smith, driving the SUV, ran a stop sign and was struck by a Jaguar, who had the right of way; Smith and his

If You Could Do It Differently

An interesting question raised by Complete Sports: If the lottery teams from last season look back to the draft a year ago and examine how their season unfolded, would they have drafted any differently? Complete Sports came up with their own version of the 2006 NBA Draft had the teams changed their picks, here are some of the picks:1.) Toronto Raptors - Brandon Roy2.) Chicago Bulls - LaMarcus

Dirk Nowitzki Being Goofy, Again

Here comes Dirk Nowitzki thinking he's Elvis once more. This guy is one big goof, I never knew that was the case. It's like putting Gilbert Arenas' antics in a big bad German, only he doesn't keep his own blog nor run his mouth that much; but busts a groove a little bit more. Wouldn't it have been great if he were included in that All-Star dance-off? I think it would have been perfect, although

Re-Modeling The NBA Playoffs

With one of the most lopsided Finals in NBA history, it makes one ponder of the positive and negative effects of having such a series be featured as the main event for the world's most popular league. Speaking of the negatives, here are some: the Finals is not as interesting as the Western Conference Finals, nor the Western Conference Semi-Finals; and throw in the rest of the playoff series in

Mike Brown Is a Pussy

I think that conclusion is pretty much set. Mike Brown is indeed one big pussy. The Cleveland Cavaliers have been trying to follow the dynasty frame of, coincidentally, the San Antonio Spurs through the past years and they have been rewarded fairly well by receiving the opportunity to compete in the NBA's biggest stage against their "mentor team". They acquired a former-Spur GM who has been

We're One Month Old!

Full Court: NBA Blog is now one month old!It certainly doesn't feel like it. It feels like I've been doing this for a million years, and I can't believe that it has just been a month that passed since making my first ever post about the Golden State Warriors' only victory over the Utah Jazz in this year's playoffs. My, my, time flies. I can't believe I've gotten this big since then. My layout

If The Dallas Mavericks Had Won

With the Cleveland Cavaliers half-beat and not looking like they have any fight at all left in their system, the Spurs might be on their way to cruise on to their fourth title in nine years. They can start their partying at this very moment and no one would complain that they were celebrating prematurely; the fact is they won't, since the Spurs are too focused and too experienced. Could this be

Welcome To My Life

The ball went up in the air and arched in a quick motion. The rotation was wrong and it was off angle, the shot was going to miss. He saw it, and was sure of it indeed. So he ran in transition towards the opposite side of the court as the ball clanked off the right side of the rim with two of his teammates controlling the entirety of the paint on that rebounding sequence. He ran as quick as he

Should LeBron Miss The Birth of His Child?

All's well that ends well. The mini-issue regarding LeBron James and the birth of his child has been gaining a little fire in the past days as the day of labor slowly approaches. LeBron's second kid is scheduled to be born at the same day the Cleveland Cavaliers face the San Antonio Spurs in a if-necessary Game 5; so the question that lit up in the sky was: Will LeBron be with his child at birth

LeBron James Will Not Be Missing Birth of Second Child

We're almost sure of that. It looks like LeBron James will not be missing the birth of his second child. The baby was scheduled to make its grand entrance into this world of prostitutes, rockstars, pimps, groupies, and fanatics, on the day when Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Cavaliers and the Spurs. I think we can readily say that this issue can be swept (no pun intended). Why? It doesn't

This Baby Says: BORING!

The previous low was a 6.4/11 in 2003.Last year's Game 1 between Miami and Dallas earned a 7.8 rating and 14 share."More on: NBA Has

Omelette Du Fromage

After experiencing some bar-tending lessons with bottle flaring, drink mixing, eating big-mouth burgers and fries, and some history and trivia about how each drink came about and all that jazz (Ethanol is the alcohol used in drinks, that's all I can remember), I came home and I saw a picture of Tony Parker behind the grill in a restaurant in the deepest reaches of my medulla oblongata (which

LeBron James: The Natural Athlete

I was running through some posts in the Fanhouse when I came across an article of Brian Grummell about how LeBron James used to play football. Behold, there was even a video. To be honest, I never knew he played football until now. The first thing that entered my mind was: this guy is a natural athlete. The second thing that entered my mind: The Longest Yard scene where Paul Crewe did the same

After five days of no-NBA, we are in for some star-studded, butt-shaking, head-twisting, body-grooving Game 1 between the heavily-favored San Antonio Spurs and the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers.

When The Curtains Fall

In a few hours, the final series of the season will commence, and the two chosen teams representing their respective conference will gut it out for the supreme title of NBA Champions. They will do it for their cities, their conferences, their divisions, their friends, their family, their pride, and most importantly: for themselves and each other. When the final buzzer sounds in the final game of

Why LeBron James Deserves To Win The Title

Everyone's predicting a Spurs steam-roller running all over LeBron James and the Cavaliers this coming Thursday, but I beg to differ. This video is the exact reason why LeBron James needs to make the series interesting, or better yet, win the Championship: so he can do more foolishness like this video right here.If I told you to picture LeBron James sporting a high-pitched voice while singing and

Kevin Durant: All Skill, No Brawns

Talk has been circulating like wild fire regarding Kevin Durant's pathetic display of masculinity after failing to bench-press 185lbs, even once. What is even more bizarre, is that the current President of the U.S. of A. can actually bench more than Kevin Durant. The 60-year-old senior-citizen who spends his time reading papers and riding helicopters actually benches more than a teenage

2007 All-Star Dance-Off

Since there isn't really anything interesting on the headlines of NBA today, so I just thought of posting this dance-off video between Shaquille O'Neal, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard.No doubt about it though, that Big Daddy Shaq owned both LBJ and D12. For such a large guy with his size, it surprises me that he has such soft joints and a very flexible body control. No wonder he dominated the

Paris Hilton Behind Bars

I'd like to pause on the basketball talk just for this one post. Even in mugshots, you need to put on make-up.Paris Hilton has finally started her jail-sentence, and was put under the "special needs" unit for people with "special needs". I didn't know that being blond, owning a couple of million dollars, and being a whiny-ass princess who couldn't bend over to pick up a spoon, wipe her own ass,

Detroit Dilemma

An old photo, specifically a little more than a year ago in the 2006 All-Star game featuring four of the five Detroit Pistons starters; the year the Pistons flirted with 70 wins and looked en route to win the NBA Championship, until the inevitable happened.Year after year, the Detroit Pistons' achievements based both on performance and playoff depth have slowly dwindled. From winning a title, to

King LeBronidas: The Dark God Deacan

King LeBronidas stared off into the horizon over the edge of a cliff on a mountain sitting on the coast of Cleveroth. He had been standing on the cliff all day pondering the future of his army as he gazed into their supposed destination."LeBronidas, you have been here all day," a voice suddenly appeared. "Is anything bothering you?""Elder Brawn, good day. I was only reflecting on our journey. It

Billy Donovan to Turn Back on Magic

Flip-flops and invitations.Billy Donovan has reportedly been having second thoughts regarding the coaching job he was offered in the Orlando Magic. It is highly likely that he will be returning to the Gators to coach once again; unless he is rejected by the Gators, or he pulls a Kobe Bryant in the next couple of days regarding his decision. Billy Donovan was set to sign a 7-year deal with the

The Chris Webber Face

Sadly, I couldn't find a picture that captured those three precious seconds that caught Chris Webber thinking, "Aw crap, lost again. I'm never going to win a ring". The moment was strong enough to over-throw the Brady Quinn face. Well, not really, but I'd like to think so anyway. Chris Webber will once again go home in Conference Finals disappointment for the Nth time in his career. Will he ever

Paul Brogan Video Log #1

I found this video around three weeks ago, and I wanted to share it with everyone. Unfortunately, I still didn't know how to post videos on blogs back then; but guess what, I do now! And I only remembered to post this now. Enjoy the video. It's very entertaining. Too bad all the players featured in the video are burying themselves in the sand while watching the sunset in the beaches, in other

And All The King's Men

Detroit Pistons 82 @ Cleveland Cavaliers 98 (Thrashed)In one of the most unexpected turn of events in this year's NBA Playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers are heading to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history! The Cleveland Cavaliers are led by 'The King', LeBron James, as he was once again spectacular in tonight's game despite a very cold shooting night. He shot 3-11 FGs, but made

Pros vs. Joes

Someone with an addy named iatemyself e-mailed me a few days ago asking me to check out this video. It's about the G.I. Joes playing against pro-athletes. Coming from a basketball-dominated culture, I'm quite a retard with the other sports, but the last scene with the Ron Artest reenactment of the brawl was quite hilarious.Thanks iatemyself.

Cavaliers-Pistons Game 6 Preview

In exactly 16 hours from now, Game 6 of the Cavaliers-Pistons series will commence and by the end, we will see either of two outcomes: LeBron James will go against all odds and finally close out the Detroit Pistons to single-handedly take the Cleveland Cavaliers to the next step, the NBA Finals; much reminiscent of Dwayne Wade's NBA Finals showing last year, where he brought Miami back from 0-2

Fancy Pants

Today is an NBA day-off, very much thanks to the quick dispatch of the Utah Jazz at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. In other words, there's nothing interesting to post today. Let's look at the bright side though, we have much more room to fool around.NBA Players are rich. There is no doubt about that; but after they retire or during their free time, what else is there to do? Sitting at home

Will Kobe and O'Neal Be A Reality?

For the past few days, Kobe Bryant has kicked his estrogen into high gear and has gone on a rampage on all that is media about all that is Lakerish about the L.A. Lakers. So what can anyone do to appease his pain? Team him up with O'Neal. No, not him. Jermaine O'Neal! The Lakers and the Pacers reportedly have had some conversations regarding O'Neal's availability in the market. It could be rumors

Cheap shot here, cheap shot there. Was Antonio McDyess always like this? As far as I can remember, Antonio McDyess was a class act. He would always keep his mouth shut and do his job.

Not to mention a few shots to a few other
