All we can do after watching this kid play arcade basketball, beyond picking our jaws up off our desks, is apologize to our parents for wasting their money at Chuck E. Cheese. We obviously didn't fulfill the potential of the game and could have won whatever crappy toys we ended up throwing away three days later with much greater efficiency. More »

Are you looking for that special gift that tells a distant cousin, "I don't really give a crap that you are a successful tax attorney blogger who makes occasional appearances on Bloomberg cropped-head YouTube stripteases.

NBA Rolls Out Updated Official Basketball

The National Basketball Association has announced an improved Official Game Ball that will debut in the 2006-07 NBA basketball season, the first time the official ball has been changed in 35 years and only the second time in 60 seasons.

Basketball PCs

The only sport I'm interested in is mass slam-dunking spam email into the proverbial black hole. I'm sure, however, there are people out there that actually like playing sports. If you're one such individual, this line of basketball-style PCs from Style Gate may just be for you. They also come in soccer and American football varieties if basketball isn't your game. PC specs: USB 2.0, Firewire, Ethernet, plus bonus features like S-video out, standard, but due to their dinky size, don't expect much in terms of expandability. Not that any of this matters to the aficianado who wants to show off his dedication to the sport, computer-style. More »
