About

Got 'Em Coach was supposed to be the world's foremost marketplace for user-based, online auctions, but unfortunately, and unknowingly, I started the site 15 years after eBay. That's when I turned to the NBA.

I'm not going to act like I know more about basketball than you. Neither of us played professionally, so we'll call it even. I have no access to games, and even less to players, but I think I can help you enjoy the sport.

The staff (just me) will work hard (more or less) to bring you the best basketball material (perhaps), so you keep coming back every day (why not?).

So sit back, or forward, depending on your current situation or seated preference, and enjoy the Internet ride.

Selected articles from this past week, with one Editor’s note from me.

Adrian Wojnarowski on the global impact of Yao Ming

It’s amazing to think about the money NBA players will make overseas, specifically in China (and other Asian countries), and how that’s all attributed to Big Yao.

Scott Raab on the Anniversary of “The Decision”

The guy might choose the words I won’t use in front of my mother, but I have a hard time disagreeing with the sentiment.

Roland Lazenby on the “new” Lakers (via The Laker Nation)

Fair warning, Laker fans: this ain’t pretty. I will leave you with this reminder - The Busses have earned our trust, and should be given a chance. Don’t read too much into any of this Bynum/Brown nonsense. The Busses want to beat the Celtics in titles, and they’ll do what it takes. They always have.

Bill Simmons offers a solution to the NBA Lockout

You’re not going to hear much Lockout talk from me, because I don’t pretend to know everything about this situation. However, for those interested, Simmons does a nice job of breaking it down for the laymen. By far, the most interesting tidbit is how big-time sports agents laugh about getting to negotiate deals with, in a lot of cases, former athletes with nominal business experience who now serve as General Managers for teams.

Enjoy!

Yours truly,
