Upset Avoided

2012-08-04T22:21:00.002-04:00

So since Giselle only wants to report about the women's USA Team, I guess it's my duty to bring you updates on the men's side (lol, just kidding)! Team USA had a game on their hands today baby! Lithuania, who has shocked the US before in the Olympics back in 04, were up to their old tricks against the current 2012 Olympic Team. Lithuania found themselves up late in the 4th quarter against this

It's USA Over Everything!

2012-07-30T19:19:00.000-04:00

It's not even fair to some of these teams that are in the Olympics, at least not when it comes to Women's basketball. #teamUSA wiped the floor with Angola and still had time to polish the silver. Not every game will end with the score 91-38, but let's face it, the US women plan to stomp over whoever is in their way of making history. Next up is Turkey... do work ladies!

FCP TEES

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, the wait is over. The team at FCP has been working on bringing you a little something more than just our views on the game. With the world in a frenzy over the Olympics, why not give our FCP Fam something stylish to rock during the games. Courtesy of my man Bert Morales, check out the screen shots for our very first Olympic Tee of the bunch, which will

Just My Thoughts

2012-07-20T14:43:00.000-04:00

Just been thinking about a few things basketball so why not share right? Let's get it! - Magic still haven't traded Dwight Howard. I hate you Orlando. You guys are inconsiderate. You are torturing basketball fans everywhere! You have officially become that ex-girlfriend/boyfriend that wont let go! ITS OVER! MOVE ON! - I still can't believe the Heat signed Jesus Shuttlesworth! Hope his ankles

Winning a national championship - Check Being the #1 Pick in the NBA Draft - Check Being chosen for the 2012 Olympic Team - Check Signing on to Represent the Most Famous Check of all time (aka Nike) - Check ANTHONY DAVIS IS WINNING! This picture is hilarious. Sorry... Had to do IT! LOL. I pray Nike makes a shirt with mirror image double checks as his eyebrows! LOL! That would make my year!

LIN TOO DEEP?

2012-07-16T10:43:00.000-04:00

Soo as everyone knows, the Houston Rockets have decided to offer Jeremy Lin a RIDICULOUS (Melo's words, not mine) 3-year, $25 million contract that pays Lin d@mn near his jersey number in the last year. The Knicks, who last week were 1000% certain they would match any offer for Lin, now seem content on letting him go. With new acquisitions Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton, is Lin headed out the

Pat Summit Receives Arthur Ashe Award

There's not a lot that needs to be said after hearing the name Pat Summit. Her story is nothing short of amazing. We salute you and we join you in the fight! Congrats Pat!

ITS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

2012-07-11T11:46:00.000-04:00

This quite possibly could've been the best Maury episode of all time. Maybe it's the light skin and high top fade thing, but if they couldn't pass as father and son, they could've at the very least been brothers. #justsayin

Just My Thoughts

2012-07-11T11:34:00.000-04:00

Just a few things I wanted to get off of my chest about the game I love... Let's get it - Steve Novak got $15mil from the Knicks. Since the NBA is overpaying shooters, somebody sign my boy Allan Ray. He can shoot with the best of em, and he can actually dribble too! THIS NOVAK THING MAKES NO SENSE! - The Dwightmare continues. Orlando, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE send him somewhere already. I dont

Drive for Five

2012-07-02T16:37:00.002-04:00

Everyone remembers the Dream Team. We also remember seeing the US Men's basketball team lose in Athens and come back four years later and win it all in Beijing, the Redeem Team. But when do we ever hear about the women's national basketball team? Well if you've been hiding under a rock these past olympic games, let me shed some light on you. The US Women's National Basketball team

#teamUSA 3-0 in U17WCM

2012-07-01T13:31:00.000-04:00

It was a slow start for #teamUSA, but they were able to turn up the heat defensively and roll past Egypt with a 111-73 victory to remain undefeated at the 2012 FIBA U17 World Championship. Conner Frankamp and Jabari Parker both had 18pts. Kendrick Nunn, Johnathan Williams and Jahlil Okafor all in double-figures. Catch them on Tuesday as they face France, who is coming off a surprising

Who Would You Take?

2012-07-01T11:34:00.000-04:00

The original list for #teamUSA men's basketball keeps getting shorter and shorter. Derrick Rose, Dwight Howard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were all set to defend USA's title, but injuries have set them all back. This opens up some spots for some other stars to shine. This just makes it easier on Coach K when camp starts tomorrow. The final list will only include 12

No London for D-Wade

2012-06-28T16:12:00.000-04:00

The Miami Heat guard and newly crowned "Mr. 2rings" (2chainz voice) @dwyanewade will not be participating in the Olympics this summer. Wade called USA basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo and head coach Mike Krzyzsewki Thursday to let them know he would not be participating in the games because he needed surgery on his left knee. We wish you luck on your surgery and a speedy recovery Flash!
