30/04 - Homicide's Wizards win NBDL title
Darius Rice came off the Dakota Wizards bench to put together a record-setting night and lead the Dakota Wizards to a 129-121 overtime victory over the Colorado 14ers and hand the 2007 NBA Development League title to the Wizards in front of a D-League postseason record crowd of 5,224 at the Bismarck Civic Center on Sunday. Rice scored 52 points and made 11 three point field goals, including one with 4.5 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime tied at 109. Rice’s points and three-point field goal totals are both D-League championship game records and Dakota is just the second team in the six-year history of the NBA’s minor league to win a title game at home. . ..read more..
26/04 - Killer Krossova Tour in Columbus
I figured they’d show off with some flashy ball-handling, excite the spectators with some high-flying dunks and cruise to victory in a faux game. The Harlem Globetrotters of the hip-hop generation. That was my expectation for the Killer Krossover team as I joined an overflow crowd to watch their Killa Krossova Tour show last night at Rock Bridge gym. Had it turned out that way, everyone would have left happy. But when the game finally got going about an hour and a half after its advertised 7:30 p.m. tip-off, it was clear the crew of former Missouri players and assorted past high school standouts weren’t interested in playing the part of the Washington Generals. ..read more..
13/04 - The Game: And1's Takin' Back The Streets
American Sporting Goods has undergone serious changes over the past year, including putting up a "For Sale" notice, taking it down, replacing CEOs and re-energizing its portfolio of companies. Last year, Jerry Turner, ASG's principal owner, hired Wachovia Securities to seek prospective buyers. Last month, Turner, who had considered retiring, changed his mind and took ASG off the block. As a result, Kevin Wulff, who joined as president/CEO in 2005 to restructure ASG and assist with the sale, left (he's now CEO at Pony) and was replaced by industry veteran Tom O'Riordan. ..read more..
09/04 - Killa Krossova team stars win
Referees tend to be window decoration in an Killa Krossova Tour game. The spectacular athleticism of the Killa Krossova team tends to make officiating unnecessary in a game with no shot clock, no defense and no free throws until the final two minutes. But rough play and streetball-style speed-up-the-game tactics on both sides made officiating very necessary at Halenbeck Hall on Thursday as the Quality Choice All-Stars, a team of former college players, gave the Killa Krossova team all it could handle. Former St. Cloud State stars Nate Miller and Jason Kron were among those who frustrated the Killa Krossova team throughout a 126-113 win for the visitors. ..read more..
