by Kent Sterling Let’s just get this out of the way right at the top – David West is a man. Not some whiny guy who is afraid to attack a challenge, but a man willing and able to put a team on his broad shoulders and carry him across the finish line – the […]
by Kent Sterling Both Pacers teams finished the regular season 56-26, one team still with several young parts, and the other on its last legs before being disbanded. 2000 was the year a team that had been together for several years finally got over the hump to earn the only trip in the NBA Finals […]
by Kent Sterling When it comes to figuring out what’s going on this weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, don’t be a dumbass like I was until an hour ago. In this morning’s Breakfast with Kent, I blathered on about the weather a bit, and closed by saying people in central Indiana should head to […]
by Kent Sterling Wrigley Field is baseball’s inflatable sex toy. Squint and it looks good enough, but there is nothing inside to compel interest.

The Pacers appear to be a bunch of good and earnest guys who […]
by Kent Sterling Anyone who wondered if the Indiana Pacers were capable of playing poorly again after three straight wins over the Washington Wizards got a resounding answer tonight in the form of a 102-79 beat down that wasn’t that close. When the game ends with seldom seen Pacers Lavoy Allen and Donald Sloane on […]
by Kent Sterling [Editor’s note: This is an odd time to opine about the future of Tom Crean at Indiana, but their are only so many days that I can write twice or more about the Indiana Pacers and Donald Sterling. I assume readers might be a little Donald Sterling fatigued themselves.] Like it or […]
by Kent Sterling While Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling is certainly a pathetic and twisted wretch of self-immersed putrescence, those who find glee in his extended torment are not much better. Recognizing this glop of walking and talking misery is not worth the self-congratulatory bloviation we are being subjected to in the media and […]
