Calm before the storm

After hearing Tim Duncan’s comment slash subtle guarantee about winning the NBA title this year, LeBron James responded, although in a more diplomatic, non-combative way: “They don’t like us, they don’t.

Future teammates?

Yousef Taha is switching teams—again. The San Miguel big man got shipped to San Mig Coffee in exchange for Yancy de Ocampo. The Mixers are now the fifth team of the energetic Fil-Kuwaiti since being drafted 11th overall by Air 21 last year. He has also suited up for Brgy. Ginebra, GlobalPort, and Petron/San Miguel. Talk about being wanted. At least, he now has half of the jerseys of the 10 PBA teams.
