The Dallas Mavericks are not playing the National Anthem prior to games, per the edict of owner Mark Cuban, and I’m not happy about it. We are experiencing a fractured America, and sports are one distraction that helps bind us – whether it’s as Americans, Mavs fans, Colts fans, Indiana fans, or fans of any […]
Victor Oladipo’s search for happiness will continue in Houston, and Indianapolis is just fine with that!

If a professional athlete outgrows Indianapolis, the issue is not with this city but with the athlete. During his just ended time in Indy, Victor Oladipo came to believe that he would be unable to reach his potential from a branding/business perspective while stuck in this relatively small NBA market.

If reports of his pathological need to be pampered are true, Houston Rockets guard James Harden doesn’t need to apply for a position with the Indiana Pacers – and neither should anyone else with similar requirements.

The NBA’s biggest problem is also one of its greatest strengths – it’s stars. Late NBA commissioner David Stern made the decision to market the league around its best players in the 1980s. Back then, the NBA had Michael Jordan, Julius Erving, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, and others to feature. The league went […]

The Milwaukee Bucks feel so passionately about the crimes visited upon blacks and the constant fear in their lives that they have boycotted this afternoon’s Game Five in the playoff series against the Orlando Magic. Never before in the history of professional sports has a team passed on the opportunity to compete in order to protest […]

The Indiana Pacers decision to fire Nate McMillan is shocking. Maybe it shouldn’t be, but it is. When news of the firing spread at Colts practice today after a tweet from Scott Agness, the first response was disbelief. Then, it was agreed this was a very un-Pacers thing to do. This is a franchise that has never […]
