Prospect: Oden 'looks unbelievable'

Kobe Bryant literally dove into an ocean full of sharks
Through the years Kobe Bryant has claimed to be the ultimate competitor.
The Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard has built his entire myth around it.
Each and every one of his nicknames/handles point to this. ” The Assassin,” ” The Black Mamba” and other aliases serve to point to his psyche as much as they point to his basketball skills.
Heidi Burgett over at Nike has just...
Adelman, Love tandem could be the next Saunders, Garnett
MINNEAPOLIS -- It's one of the darkest yet brightest junctures in the largely painful Minnesota Timberwolves' existence.
Repeated failures have wrought changes at the top of the organization. A success-starved city's cynicism is spiking. Poor luck piles on top of a growing heap of shortcomings.

Fashion at NBA pressers spoofed on Conan
We all know that NBA post game press conferences have turned into mini fashion shows. As jocks go harder to stand out and show off their individuality and fashion sense, some feel the whole notion of pro athletes on a faux catwalk is laughable.

What will the Chicago Bulls do this offseason?
The Chicago Bulls have clearly become the most respected team in the NBA for their ability to continue fighting and never say die attitude, while being shorthanded. Injuries and illness prevented the Bulls from a better seed and perhaps a deeper run in the postseason. In back to back years the Bulls have seen their season end earlier than anticipated for the same reason.
