Ok good people, this will be short and sweet. The NCAA Tournament is the most exciting time of the Sports Year to me. Viewers get the opportunity to see countless kids living their dream of playing on the biggest stage in College Basketball. The smaller schools win their Conference tournaments an

Breaking News: Man, I tell you this is really unfortunate on so many levels. ESPN reportedly fired Donovan McNabb and Eric Davis on Friday after they were accused of sexual harassment in a lawsuit filed by former NFL Network employee Jami Cantor last month. This news really comes as no surprise.

Growing up in the early 80’s as a kid I was obsessed with professional wrestling. Me and my friends made championship belts out of cardboard boxes and held matches. Before Michael Jordan was a lot of kid’s hero, Rick Flair and Hulk Hogan held that title. The history of wrestling in America goes b

Life is a blessing when you’re afforded the luxury of being paid for doing what you truly love for a living. In Sports, many of the greatest athletes were born with physical attributes that supersede their peers. At the same time, mental toughness and self-confidence is also a gift that can tr

I posted this last year, and thanks to Dee Todd for reposting...some modifications but you will get the message... Dear parents living the saturated AAU basketball dream!!!!!!...There are over 850,000 kids in America that play organized basketball. 44,000 seniors a year in high school basketball

Well, lets see. Tiger is the most decorated goler of this era. Not only was he a great player but he also transended the game of golf. He not only uplifted the black community in the game of golf but he also uplifted the world in golf. You have to take in to consideration that Tiger came into a s

Is it time for us to crown Tom Brady as the Greatest QB ever? At this point in Brady’s career his resume can stand next to EVERY great QB, even Joe Montana. The consistency of excellence has lasted over 15 years. So, where does Tom Brady rank to you on the All Time QB list as well as the All Time

The fact that kids are basically forced to attend college 1 year before declaring for the NBA draft is criminal. (or...a year removed from High School) I have always been of the mindset that if a player is talented enough to test the NBA waters, the league should not roadblock them. Of course mo

Unfortunately, Domestic Violence is part of the culture when it comes to Music, Sports and Pop Culture. Now, I’ve heard stories throughout the years of celebs having legal issues as a result of Domestic Violence. I’ve read about Axel Rose, Rick James, Ozzy Ozbourne, Ike Turner and plenty other

In 2017 at the age of 35, Serena Williams is once again ranked the #1 Female Tennis Player in The World. This unthinkable achievement at this point in her career is a testament to her greatness. Serena was ranked #1 in the World for the first time in 2002 and 15 years later she is crowned again

Today is February 11, 2018 & I just finished watching the CAVS destroy Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics. On my timeline (Facebook and Twitter), I noticed a lot o negative comments in regard to LeBron James that I fail to understand. What more do we want from Lebron James? What can he do to ge

Lavar Ball is at it gain my people. I tell you, with Lava Ball you never know what to expect. That's probably his biggest gift and curse. At any rate, he has announced that he is founding the Junior Basketball Association. It is a professional basketball league that will offer high school playe

Here are a few thoughts in regard to Andre Ward retiring from Boxing . Andre Ward Retires!!!

Well, let's keep this one short and sweet. The rumor is Lebron James plans to leave Cleveland after next season. We already know Kyrie is going to leave whether it's by a trade or when his contract ends in the very near future. The word over the past month is Kyrie plans to exit the CAVS because

As the NBA Draft Approaches, I would like to dissect what it truly means to be a “Top 5 Draft Pick”and how this terminology can have fans brainwashed. Let’s start with the fact that The NBA lottery is literally equivalent to being in Las Vegas and gambling with a stack of your hard earned money

Ok, I have a few quick thoughts about The Knicks and their contribution to the NBA. I wish people would stop calling Madison Square Garden “The Mecca” of Basketball. I will waste no time in saying The New York Knicks are the most overrated franchise in NBA History. Actually, The Knicks could be t

Over the past few weeks, UCLA's standout guard Lonzo Ball's father LaVar Ball has caught some heat. LaVar has been in the media giving his son high praise to a fault by many viewers. LaVar raised some eyebrows after he stated that his son will be better than Steph Curry. Isn't that what fathers d

Former NBA Star Brandon Roy transitioned from one of the best players in the NBA to the 2017 National High School Coach of the Year. On Monday March 20th, Roy was awarded the Naismith's Coach of the Year award. Roy's team is Nathan Hale High located in Seattle, Washington. and this season ended with

When you think about the history of the NBA, one constant debate is about the best players from each era. Fans like to compare eras, teams and of course the talented individuals who represented each decade of basketball. Today I’d like to address the Legend of Tracy McGrady. After being drafted st

American History is beautiful and ugly at the same time. We know the criminal treatment of African Americans which of course spilled over to Sports and Entertainment. These transgressions influenced athletes such as Jesse Owens, Muhammad Ali and Althea Gibson to be vocal and outspoken about socia

In the history of Boxing, there have been greats who specialized in knocking opponents out and greats who specialized in the "Sweet Science" of the Sport. Over the past hundred years, fans witnessed Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson knock boxers out with relative ease. We also saw what Geor

If you know me you know I don't write for "Shock Value" or to get clicks on my website. I actually write what I truly believe. When it comes to History, Politics, Religion, Music and Sports, I try to be as honest as possible in my assessment. At any rate, when I look at the current climate of the

Today LaMelo Ball becomes the first High School Basketball Player with his own signature shoe. I would like for you to read the first sentence one more time. Today is historic on so many levels. The Big Baller Brand strikes again and I love it. Of course there is a buzz in the air about NCAA viola

A few weeks ago during the NBA Summer League (The best one in YEARS) I had the pleasure of watching Dennis Smith Jr. perform. You see, I’ve seen DSJ play since he was about 13-14 years old. During his Middle School and early High School year(s) Dennis Smith Jr. was a guard on our AAU Team, T

I'm a huge John Wall (NC Native) fan & plan on writing a nice blog on DA Dome about him in the near future. John Wall is one of the few NBA Stars who actually got better after he signed a huge contract. Some athletes get lazy when they get "PAID" and you see the effort change or you don't se

Artwork by David Gaines "I was inspired to create this piece of artwork based upon the fact that I am a huge fan of college football and feel as if I can see the burning desire to win, within certain players. As I watched the 2016 NCAA college football national championship game between the Ala

Over the past few weeks UCLA Star Point Guard Lonzo Ball has been in the news not just for his great basketball talent, but his Father’s public persona. Now, this post is not about his father but it does center around Fatherhood as it relates to Athletics. I will use my race in this collection of

Yeah, I know you don’t like Duke and Bobby Hurley but this dude could play. Generally when I bring up Bobby Hurley as one of the Top 10 College Point Guards ever, I get backlash. People constantly remind me about “THE MOVE” that Kenny Anderson put on him or his first year playing UNLV in the F

There appears to be an intense hate for The Dallas Cowboys in the Sports World. I mean, fans log into their Social Media Accounts during the NFL Season to talk about The Dallas Cowboys. It’s strange as these fans spend more time discussing Cowboy Nation than they do their own teams. Yes, The Co
