How The Celtics Ruined The Last Two NBA Titles

Posted by Calvin Chamberlain & filed under 2010 NBA Finals, Opinion Piece.

I woke up this morning feeling a wave of hot flashes, with droplets of sweat tumbling off the sides of my forehead and leaving tiny dents in my luxurious memory foam pillow.  I sat up in bed and thought about how the Lakers would soon play their first preseason game, which meant their reign as [...]

How Hard Should the Celtics Try in the Regular Season?

Posted by Calvin Chamberlain & filed under Opinion Piece.

So what did you do Monday night?  Did you spend it tweeting?  Retweeting?  Well, whatever you did, it sucked.  That is, unless you were listening to the Celtics Late Night Show featuring NSS HEAD HONDO NICHOLAS GELSO (along with some other guys). While honoring my commitment to America and listening to the CLNS, I heard [...]

Joakim Noah: Overrated or Overrated?

Posted by Calvin Chamberlain & filed under Opinion Piece.

When LeBron James put on his rape shoes and ran right out of Akron early in the offseason, Chicago was considered to be the most appealing destination for him in terms of the amount of existing talent on the team. It was never “he should go play with Derrick Rose”, but rather “he should go [...]

How to Be Friends With Your Sports Enemies

Posted by Calvin Chamberlain & filed under Opinion Piece.

A lot of people ask me…stupid effing questions.  One of them might be, “Did you remember to wrap up?”  Another one is often, “Why does Doc Rivers continue to lean on his ‘starters have never lost a series’ crutch after losing a player who had been ineffective for six games for one game in which [...]

On February 5th, 1994, the Detroit Pistons retired the number 15  jersey of one Vinnie “The Microwave” Johnson.  Where were you when you found out?  Perhaps you were sitting at your computer, reading this article when you read the joyous news.  Perchance you may have asked yourself why the Pistons would retire the number of [...]

London Calling: Hang Up The Phone

Posted by Calvin Chamberlain & filed under Opinion Piece.

Whoever said that the grass is always greener on the other side was clearly not referring to the Atlantic Ocean,  as in England it often manifests itself as a lighter shade…of brown. Unfortunately, David Stern doesn’t seem to be as troubled by brown grass as we might like, as the league recently announced that the Nets [...]

Shaq: Man Without A Place

Posted by Calvin Chamberlain & filed under Opinion Piece.

A few days ago Shaquille O’ Neal was on the Jimmy Kimmel late night show.  Kimmel had heard that there was a possibility that Shaq would soon be signing with Boston, which seemed to surprise him.  Jimmy followed up with this question: “Would you feel weird about putting on a Celtics uniform after playing with [...]

What Would Jordan Do? Who Cares?

Posted by Calvin Chamberlain & filed under Random.

Imagine Michael Jordan at a grocery store on July 8th.  Jordan purchases a comb for his wispy mustache along with a three pack of Hanes tidy-whiteys while Charles Oakley peruses a few aisles away, lifting cold medication.  Jordan’s eyes dart upward to the television monitor above a clerk’s head as LeBron announces that he is [...]
