  4. NBA All-Star Starters Announced

    Most embarrassing thing in pro sports? Please.

     

    For whatever reason I get the impression that you don't like Blake Griffin because you feel people will look at your differently because of his actions. Not sure why I get this vibe from you, but some of the things you say about him are weird and really excessive if you ask me.

  19. McGrady Denies Ever Playing Kobe One-On-One In Germany

    in International Basketball

    Posted

    Kobe Bryant told ESPN on Thursday that he beat Tracy McGrady in a one-on-one game early in their careers during a promotional tour in Germany.

     

    "When I was about 20, we were in Germany doing some promotional stuff for that other sneaker company and we played basketball every day," said Bryant. "We were in the gym all the time. We played three games of one-on-one to 11. I won all three games. One game I won 11-2. After the third game he said he had back spasms and couldn’t play anymore."

     

    McGrady heard about Bryant's version of the story and responded on Twitter.

     

    "LOL Hell no! That's far from the truth. No one in the NBA is playing 1 on 1. Me and KB never went to Germany together either.."

    Seeing the "LOL" response from T-Mac it really seems like he's lying.

     

    Meanwhile, in the CBA:

    Funny thing is, they were not even on the same range at the same time

     

    ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- The Nike Golf commercial that was to debut Wednesday featuring Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy was shot last year in Southern California with neither player there at the same time.

     

    A source told ESPN.com that because of scheduling issues, McIlroy and Woods could not be present on the same day to shoot the commercial, which has them hitting balls on a driving range while taking good-natured shots at each other.

     

    McIlroy, 23, calls Woods an "old man" for example, while Woods, 37, makes fun of McIlroy's hair. Woods has been endorsing Nike products since he turned pro in 1996.

     

    McIlroy's part was filmed first, with Woods following a few days later, reacting to an actor who attempted to follow McIlroy's script. Both players spent several hours on their respective days, with the final product being unveiled for the first time earlier this week in Abu Dhabi, where McIlroy was officially announced as a company spokesman.

     

    The commercial was shot in October, prior to McIlroy leaving for China to play in the BMW Masters in Shanghai, where he first addressed rumors that he would be leaving Titleist for Nike at the end of 2012 when his contract expired. He tried to downplay the talk that had been simmering for several weeks.
