Forget Dr. James Naismith. Harlem Globetrotters let fans decide rules 20

The rules of basketball haven't changed much since Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. Luckily the Harlem Globetrotters are here to shake things up a bit. As part of this year's world tour, the Globetrotters are unveiling a "You Write The Rules" concept. Fans who come to their games can vote on which new rule should go into effect. Fans can choose from two ball basketball (teams play with two balls at the same time), double points (each basket counts twice as much), four point shot (shots made from a spot WAY beyond the three-point line are worth four points), penalty box (players are sent to a special area on the sideline if they misbehave), and six-on-five (the Globetrotters' five players take on six opponents). Since fans vote, each game could have a different rule put in place which will make the Globetrotters games even more exciting. To find out where the Globetrotters are playing and to vote on your favorite rule, go to HarlemGlobetrotters.com/rule.

A few years back, a lot of people became obsessed with Guitar Hero. You know who you are. And it was fun, something to kill a little time in the afternoon. There was no real point to it though. It’s not like playing Guitar Hero made you a great Guitar player.
University of Connecticut basketball coach Jim Calhoun will announce his retirement today. For me, it's a personal story.
I grew up very close to UConn, where my father is a professor. My brothers and I grew up going to UConn games in the 1980s, when the team wasn't particularly good. Until Calhoun arrived, that is. In 1988, they won the NIT title, and it seemed like an amazing accomplishment at the time.

Let's but to the chase: I got a sneak peak at NBA 2K13 (Oct. 2 release). The gameplay is still strong, the graphics are still sick. Movements and, more importantly, collisions are even more realistic. Here's what I think about some of the new features on the way... More »

Really, Tunisia didn’t have a shot. The only way they could have won today was if Team USA’s bus got lost on the way to the arena and they missed the game entirely. Well, the bus made it there just fine and the U.S. put a hurting on Tunisia, winning 110-63. Though Team USA wasn’t really tested, we still learned some things and had these five takeaways from the game. More »
