When I came up with the idea for this site, I wanted to simply report on basketball related news from all kinds of leagues around the world. I got the idea from my local NBA team the Toronto Raptors. They had a very diverse team with players from all over the globe when Brian Collangelo stepped in as the new GM. This made me think that there might be a group of people who love the NBA but also want to keep an eye on other leagues and players from around the world.

According to the Mariam-Websters online dictionary, to redeem is to extricate from or help to overcome something detrimental or to release from blame or debt. I understand 'Redeem Team' it's a catchy little play on words when placed along side the 'Dream Team' but is it necessary to assume the USA basketball program has to over come detrimental losses and be released of blame or debt for it's previous Olympic short comings?

What can be said about Gilbert Arenas that hasn't already been said? Well, seeing as he wont shut up, lots I guess. Am I the only one that can't stand this guy?

I like this trade. There are some pros and cons but overall I think both teams will benefit from the deal. Both key players have had their injury woes over the last couple of seasons so both teams are taking chances in that regard.

I would normally pick the team that was down in the series because I just enjoy watching NBA ball. The more games before the off season the better right? November is a long lonely ways away folks.

What in the hell? I get back from having a couple drinks on the patio to the Lakers beating the leaving snot out of the Celtics. My initial reaction was "Alright, this seems a bit more like it" the Lakers, who are undefeated at home in this years playoffs, are taking it to the much talked about and praised Boston Celtic defense.

Game 1 of the NBA Finals baby! Can ya feel it in the air?!?! The Eastern conference Champion Boston Celtics snag home court advantage against the Western Champs, the L.A. Lakers. The hype behind this matchup is unparalleled. I wasn't around to experience the monumental battles these two franchises have experienced in the past but I'm psyched regardless.
