Marbury Getting the Last Laugh? 1 comment
I can’t figure it out. Is Stephon Marbury is a complete loon or an unorthodox genius? Here is a guy whose NBA earnings place him in the top 20 all-time. Seriously, he managed to rake in more than $150 million over the span of a career that was highlighted by two All-Star appearance, two 3rd [...]
In the Big Easy, CP3 Ain’t Drew B. Leave a comment
(Note: 3 From Deep Contributor Just-Ice sent us this dispatch from New Orleans where he’s teaming up with Derek Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation to provide a service-learning experience for NYC youth. Big ups Just!) CP3 and the Crescent City: This is Just-Ice live from the Big Easy. I’ve been down here since the day before [...]
TMac = Delusional? 2 comments
Back in February I went out on a limb and drew comparisons between Tracy Mcgrady and Bernard King. At the time I honestly believed I was standing on solid ground. Statistically speaking they share some really remarkable similarities through the course of their careers. We all know ‘Nard came back off the injury to drop [...]
Rony Seikaly says playing from April to June (aka playoffs) is “some bullshit” 1 comment
Spider John Salley is like the Charlie Murphy of the NBA = moderately talented as a player but friends with virtually everyone that mattered and a human gold mine of stories. He has a new feature over at Deadspin that should be an excellent source for off the court insight. His debut includes an amazing [...]
Basketball: For the Player, The Fan and The Coach Leave a comment
A couple of months ago a friend of mine found an exciting new basketball book by a gentleman named Arnold “Red” Aurebach that she thought I would find interesting. She was right! It was such a fascinating and informative read that I just had to share with the 3 From Deep community. Enjoy some of [...]

Add Shakedown Artist to Kobe’s list of Accomplishments How does a guy who makes in excess of $20,000,000 a season manage to convince two guys in two consecutive seasons who clearly got off on playing against him to join him? How does he get them both to take huge pay cuts? How does he then [...]
See What You Started, Lebron 1 comment
Paul could become familiar with this pose should he stay in N.O. another year So now Chris Paul wants to be traded. Tell me you didn’t see this coming. He’s one of ‘Bron’s closest buddies and a teammate on the Redeem Team. He’s still under contract for two more years in New Orleans but he’s [...]
Are the MJ/Magic Remarks Misleading? 3 comments
Maybe being in Miami all weekend and feeling the excitement got to me. Maybe it made me, I don’t know, sympathetic to Lebron’s decision. Because I’ve been reading the comments by Jordan and now Magic Johnson about how they never even thought about playing on the same team together (because they wanted to beat each [...]
Miami Notes 2 comments
It’s been a little more than a week since Lebron’s national signing day/ narcissistic announcement/ ceding of the crown exodus from Cleveland. I’m down in his new home for the weekend hoping to get a feel for the vibe now. I’ve been talking to everyone I meet about the arrival of Lebron and Bosh. So far I’ve [...]
