Indiana Pacers – Chris Copeland Signing Brings Another Good Guy Into Culture
July 13, 2013

by Kent Sterling The Indiana Pacers are all about culture.  Everyone involved with the team uses that word early and often, and I would mock it if I didn’t absolutely agree with the way they use it to describe what the team has become. Chris Copeland fits what the Pacers are trying to build perfectly. […]

Incredible and Hilarious News Blunder from KTVU in the Bay Area
July 12, 2013

Nothing in “Anchorman” was this outrageous.  The newsroom is run by former Fox 59 news director Lee Rosenthal.  Been on the job for three months, but still work to be done I guess. Usually, this kind of buffoonery is restricted to small markets where 22 year-olds cut their teeth.  This is a real TV station […]

Indy Star Sports Moving in the Right Direction with ‘Pat McAfee Show’
July 12, 2013

by Kent Sterling “It’s all about content, dumbasses,” is what I shout on a daily basis to people in the media.  The delivery system is entirely beside the point.  Unique content is everything. I’m sure there were and are people at the Indianapolis Star who are wondering what the hell a bunch of ink stained […]

Dream Vision Looks Like Team to Beat in Adidas Invitational
July 12, 2013

by Kent Sterling There are some very good players in Indianapolis this weekend for the Adidas Invitational, but of the seniors-to-be games I’ve seen, there has been only one standout team – Dream Vision. Not surprising they would be the odds on favorite to win the tournament, although for many teams, winning bracket games only […]

July 12, 2013

by Kent Sterling There is something wonderful about the pomp, circumstance, history, and pride of playing for a high school team.  There is also something magical about the bonds among teammates and thesheer volume of basketball played during the summer on a typical AAU schedule. [For those trying to figure out whether I write what […]

July 12, 2013

by Kent Sterling There will be those in Indiana who are compelled to campaign for the return of Player X – the queen bee who started the mess that nearly destroyed the Indiana Pacers with his erratic behavior – now that he has been released by the Los Angeles Lakers. Click here to follow Kent […]

Dodgers Outfielder Yasiel Puig Is the Justin Bieber of Baseball
July 11, 2013

by Kent Sterling Like Justin Bieber, rookie Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig went from unknown to wildly popular to unfashionable, but in Puig’s case it took just over one month – and he’s still hitting .394.  Even with the annoyingly arrogant Bieber the backlash took a couple of years to engage. No one knew who Yasiel […]

Adidas Invitational – Good Basketball, Crazy Basketball – All Kinds of Basketball
July 11, 2013

by Kent Sterling There is something wonderful about summer basketball tournaments.  From one game to the next, you have no inkling what might happen. Teams that are assembled from neighborhoods can go to war against the nation’s best, and you never know.  Some are well coached and others are led by a goofball who spends […]

Indiana Pacers – David West Sets the Tone for the Pacers Attitude and Work Ethic
July 10, 2013

by Kent Sterling Pacers President Larry Bird is a man disinterested sharing platitudes.  What he says, he means, so when he told the media Wednesday about why David West was re-signed, he didn’t mince words.  “David has done more for this franchise than he can imagine.” Talking to West, there is little question what Bird […]
