Wojnarowski From Yahoo Sports Slapped With Lawsuit

According to the NY Post, The Penguin Group filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Federal Court against Yahoo Sports NBA columnist Adrian Wojnarowski, seeking the return of a $140,000 advance for “Jimmy V: The Life and Death of Jim Valvano.”

The  federal court filing says Wojnarowski — a best-selling author – initially promised to produce a 130,000-word manuscript about the controversial coach by August 1, 2007.

After Wojnarowski repeatedly failed to deliver the book, his $400,000 deal was slashed to $325,000 and he got a “final delivery date” of June 1, the suit says.

On June 14, Penguin canceled the contract and demanded repayment of its advance, and on July 19 it “offered (Wojnarowski) terms for repaying the $140,000.”

Wojnarowski ignored both letters, the suit says……

Lavin Gets Commitment From NYC Prep Star

When former UCLA Head Coach Steve Lavin made his return this summer after a 7-year layoff, the doubters and skeptics criticized St. John’s for the hire. Lavin had been out of the coaching game since finishing 10-19 in 2002-03, and spent the past 7 seasons as an ESPN college basketball analyst.

This summer, he agreed to a 6-year deal worth at least $9 mill to take over a program that has been the doormat of the Big East for some time. Last week, Lav received a commitment from one of the top players in the 2011 class, Maurice Harkless.

Harkless is a tremendous coup for a program that has been criticized for losing local area kids, and his signing could open the floodgates for Lav and his staff.

Harkless is a 6-6 Ray Allen/Trevor Ariza hybrid, with serious hops. He has a poise and cool disposition on the court that would make John Wooden proud. He is a long, rangy defender with an exceptional ability to get to the rim. After turning out the St. John’s skills camp in June, Harkless became the top priority for Lav.

He has stardom written all over him, and may very well end up the best player that Lav has ever coached……

WTF? ‘Nova Guard Corey Fisher Drops 105 Points!

Intriguing music selection but definitely appropriate.

Villanova guard Corey Fisher solidified his position as a streetball legend after dropping 105 points during a Dyckman Park game in the Bronx last weekend. The rest of the squad scored only 33 points in the 138-130 win, which means that Fisher was putting them things up quick and often.

Fisher is known as “Fisher Price” on the streets, for his innate ability to toy with defenders on the court (clever…son).

Although there is no video as of yet to confirm Fisher’s miraculous feat, there are several witnesses at the game that verified the extreme bucket-getting, including members of the opposing team.

Usually ballers refrain from admitting that they got serviced, so it must be the double truth Ruth.

The 2010 Nike Slam Dunk Contest Was Sick!

Any time you get to see the Legend that is James White participating in a dunk contest, you have to call it a win. There are a few other dudes in her too that aren’t too shabby their damn selves, in yet another display of a dunk contest that is sicker than what the NBA is currently offering.

Ravens O-Lineman Gets Hung Like Dirk Diggler

Ravens offensive lineman Joe Reitz, a former baller at Western Michigan back when he was about 100 pounds lighter, stole the shine during the 1st week of the NFL Preseason. Following a Troy Smith rush TD, Smith decided to hand the ball to Reitz who proceeded to get hung on a crossbar dunk attempt. Even though Reitz blew a golden opportunity, his attempt is still worthy of legendary status.

Some have tried to clown the 6-foot 7 Reitz for the dunking fail, but trying to bang out whilst carrying 320 pounds is no easy feat. Especially off of vert. Any time you are on the o-line and you get some attention you have to call it a win.

Sick Dunks: This Dude Has Bounce

We had never heard of this dude named Big Perm, I mean Big Werm, but he definitely has more bounce to the ounce like Roger Troutman. Werm recently put on a display at a dunk contest in the Bahamas, a place not usually known for bringing out the high-flyers. Anytime the crowd rushes the court after each and every dunk, you know you are doing something right.
