El Floppino earns his cash. ESPN.com is reporting that Anderson Varejao, the most irritating-to-watch player in the game, is about to be rewarded by Cleaveland with a base contract of $42.5M over 6 years, with incentives likely to push it to $50M. This is the worst signing ever done by a team...
Stay with me here. Professional basketball players work hard. Not quite ‘digging in a mine shaft’ hard, but they’re not given their stacks of cash for nothing. Very late nights, constant scrutiny and insult, tough practice sessions, tedious media engagements...
So, the silly season is upon us, and the Count is ready to weigh in with opinions left, right, and centre on Ron, Trev, Charlie and Ben — who sound like a 1960s mod rock band but are, in fact, all basketball players. What will he do? Get it? Where should Turkoglu end up? Where is he likely to...
Perhaps Daryl Morey has been spending too much time at Marcin Gortat’s house. With Morey looking for tall men to man the middle with Yao Ming potentially facing a career-ending injury, the signing of Ron Artest appears to have been neglected...
Quite frankly, we at The Sport Count have been waiting for the offseason for some time...
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter where you draft. Great players are often left waiting until the second round, if they’re drafted at all. A high lottery pick doesn’t guarantee a thing. Upside can confuse. Wingspans can distract...
Because of the superstar (right) the rarely-used veteran (left) gets stacks of cash (middle) Last season, Cleveland Cavaliers back-up centre Lorenzen Wright was paid $1,262,275. It’s fair to say he didn’t earn that money...
Unsurprisingly, last night was an extremely taxing one for the Twitter servers, with ex-players, pundits, and current ballers dropping e-gems throughout game five...
I have, what my friends tell me, is a weird perspective on sportsmanship. I like players cleverly bending the rules (popularly known as cheating) to their advantage. As a child I would practice handballing the soccer ball. I supported Mr...
The Magic have given the Lakers a real fight. In the first game of the finals series, the Lakers looked absolutely dominant, the Magic completely outmatched, the talent gap between the two teams vast...
After watching the first two games of the NBA finals, ‘underwhelming’ seems to be the consensus...
If he's healthy, playing Jameer Nelson isn't a risk. It's logical. Last Friday (Sydney time), before the game, The Sport Count tweeted this: The likelihood of Jameer playing two games, the Magic losing both, and the media slagging Orlando for messing with their chemistry? 2.5-1...
You’ve seen him sitting on the bench. You’ve seen him pat his teammates on the back. You’ve even seen him get three minutes in a blow-out, contributing hustle rebounds and inexplicable turnovers. But what do you really know about D.J. Mbenga...
As you know, the heavily mooted Kobe-LeBron match-up was not to be...
Hungry for off-season news? Nom nom! It’s been a tough few months at Sport Count headquarters. We’ve had house moves to plan, legal action to squash, and the ongoing responsiblity of watching ridiculous amounts of live basketball. But we’re back. As soon as the finals end, we’ll be here...
Figure 1 We could break down the pros and cons for both Chicago and Sacramento. We could talk about the opportunities the trade opens up for Nocioni. We could analyse whether Chicago really needs another swing-man in Salmons. We could do all that, but we’ll leave it to Buser...
The Count Team have cracked open a couple of beers and are kicking back with some chicken nuggets and hot dogs, ready to live blog All Star Saturday. "Rashard Lewis can't win. Now watch me hit a flush." 18:11 - Mo Williams has guaranteed the win in the skills challenge...
In our recent trip to Disney World, in between rides on Space Mountain and Star Tours, The Sport Count team took some time out to suck down a milk shake and burger...
Ryan Anderson, about to miss another fucking shot. Ryan Anderson is a terrible shooter. Not technically, of course. If he lacked the magic ability to cock his elbow just right, and float the ball off his fingertips with finesse, he sure wouldn’t be in the National Basketball Assocation...
If you believe the bookies, this man will soon have a ring. I don’t even know what to say. When I awoke this morning and logged onto RealGM and saw the news, I was simultaneously annoyed, upset and outraged. Let me start off by saying that I’m not a Laker fan...
Tired of the lacklustre effort and injury-prone nature of his players, George Karl quits coaching to create the perfect monster. He works day and night, for weeks, until finally, under a blood-red moon, the creature awakes, slowly...
As the All-Star reserves are announced today, with snubs and inclusions being debated across the entire interweb, The Sport Count takes a look back in time to give you a quick run-down on some of the worst players ever to pull on an East or West novelty jersey (we’re trying to forget those years...
Our lord and saviour, yesterday. Michael Redd is out for the season, the victim of a torn ACL and a busted MCL. A quick low-down from The Almighty, via Michael Redd: “I’m deeply disappointed but everything in life happens for a reason and this is God’s plan for me,” said Redd...
We all thought we had it figured out. A simple case of ‘don’t draft lanky Europeans with your first overall selection,’ a cardinal rule of GMology (the science of Chris Wallace)...
Today is Australia Day, the 26th of January. A day in which very white people roast in the sun, sinking cold cans of beer, screaming weird obscenities in the sizzling summer heat. A day in which public drunkenness is not just accepted, but encouraged...
It can’t be easy partnering up with a professional basketballer...
A great human, a great baller. Nathan Jawai, a Sport Count favourite, made his NBA debut today: Former Cairns Taipans player Nathan Jawai has become the first Indigenous Australian to play in the NBA...
A great human, holding a great basketball, on a great day for the world. Well, okay, that headline is untrue, sadly. We just wanted an excuse to run a photo of our favourite man, on this beautiful day...
Nice suit, brother. NOW GET ON THE FUCKING COURT! Leading up to the fantasy season, faith was high in Elton Brand...
Over the lengthy and well-deserved holiday break, The Sport Count team were yukking it up on a poker tour of the Bahamas with Michael Jordan and Phil Hellmuth...
Knicks centre Eddy Curry. There’s just something about being a professional sportsman in New York, it seems...
A fourth way to fix the All-Star Game. Wait, are we still doing Donaghy jokes? The busy holiday season kept The Sport Count team out of action...
Former All-Star Houston Rocket Steve Francis has been traded to the Grizzlies pending physicals, reports Memphis’ Commercial Appeal.The return of The Franchise to the franchise that drafted him might be merely a salary dump for Houston, but the Grizz stand to benefit from it...
