Yeah, that's crazy. Matt Barnes got tossed from a game the other day for committing a hard foul and dribbling the ball really hard after a foul call. He probably would have been suspended if he did what Beverly did.

Both. Plus he's been on and off various drugs for most of his adult life, so isn't the clearest thinking dude in the world.

Kidd's child support payments gotta be through the roof. I can see why dude was tryin' to hoop when he was pushing 40 
He's got to have close to 10 kid(d)s. No joke.

And you know that Joumanna in particular made sure she's getting as much as possible from him.

AGREED!

This concept comes at a time when the business of athletes off the field or court is evolving. Endorsement deals are no longer simply about brands paying an athlete a fee to hawk their products (though those still exist, certainly), but more and more are about an athlete getting equity in a promising new business. Take LeBron James and Beats By Dre as the example: James signed on early, appearing in ads and using the product, not for any kind of endorsement fee but for an ownership percentage. That small stake, estimated at only one or two percent, reportedly brought James a windfall of $30 million when Beats sold to Applelast month for $3 billion. It’s what David Wright did a few years ago with Vitamin Water, and it’s what Mark Teixeira has done with Juice Press, and Vernon Davis with D1 Sports. This new model is also, experts say, a way for big brands to hedge better against the possibility of image-damaging athlete scandals.

Plenty of people, myself included, don’t like how buddy - buddy NBA players now are with their opponents. I don’t have a good solution, because the inter-team friendships are an organic result of several factors including:
1. Elite players knowing each other since a young age, as the high-end AAU basketball scene has become increasingly national.
2. Players have high-paying and guaranteed contracts that ensure all of them are getting rich.
But this kinship limits how badly players want to beat their opponent, at least during the regular season. I miss the good, hard-fought, competitive games between two teams that really don’t like each other – even if I don’t think there’s a good solution to bring those games back.
I just wish there was some magical way for it to happen. Chris Kaman is the sort of throwback I long for.
Kaman in a Q&A with Dave McMenamin of ESPNLosAngeles.com:
Obviously you were in the same city as Kobe for a long time, but seeing him up close, being a teammate, how would you describe that experience so far?
I always hated him. When you play against a guy like him, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, you don’t like them because they’re so competitive. I respect that, but I don’t like playing against them. But when you’re on their team, it’s a whole different story. You love the people. They’re good guys.
Kobe, he’s just been working hard trying to get himself ready. He comes to practice and he works his butt off. I respect that as well. I’m excited for him to play. I’m hoping sooner than later.
I’ve got news for you, Chris: You’re going to hate Kobe at times even when he’s your teammate.
That’s just how Kobe is. He doesn’t – probably, can’t – turn off his competitiveness, and occasionally, that means he grates on teammates (as Dwight Howard can attest). Kaman seems like the type of player who recognizes Kobe’s occasional bluntness comes from a desire to win, so Kaman should take it in stride.
Playing with Kobe probably beats playing against him, but I’d love to hear Kaman’s honest opinion a year from now.

Copious amounts of coverage always lead to "haters." Just ask Brett Favre, LeBron or the more undeserving Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin. Mamba's also never been very good (until lately) at the PR aspect of pro basketball. In the nation's second biggest market he never opted to get out in front of a news cycle (like when he seemed to ask for a trade on radio) and was always relegated to being the antagonist in a town that creates villains.
He lost the popularity war to fellow star Shaq, and early on he failed to gel (that's putting it nicely) with Phil Jackson. He's also got to deal with the stans of both LeBron and Michael Jordan whose rabidness are only matched by Kobe's own pro bono Internet PR clowns. Anybody who yearns for a tougher pre-flopping rule NBA, should embrace Kobe. Dude walked off the court with a torn achilles and played a half on a broken 35-year-old knee.

Always in the middle of drama. Got Stan Van Gundy canned. Failed to deliver on huge expectations in Los Angeles.
He didn't exactly endear himself in Orlando with the way he left, getting both GM Otis Smith and Coach Stan Van Gundy fired. And he didn't exactly endear himself in L.A. with his solo, disastrous, season that resulted in a 7-seed and first-round sweep for a team many picked to hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy at the start of the season. The primary reason that many are sick of Dwight is his year long soap opera surronding a looming trade that he was in on. Then not. Then in on again.
You can only hear so much about a guy before souring. That even applies to the hometown fans (especially when that guy wants to leave the hometown). If Green Bay could get sick of Brett Favre due to over-exposure (pun maybe intended, we don't know, who cares) then you'd better bet your cock that Orlando could turn on Dwight Howard. You're always advised to never burn bridges, it's a perk we average people can't afford. But when you're a seven-foot, first overall pick who draws self-made comparisons to Shaq, you can pour all the gasoline you want and still make $100 million.

No wonder Kidd is coaching for his life like Milwaukee is Spartan agoge. Kids to feed and Prokhorov sending parting shots like Kidd's Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
