In a recent feature, we chronicled the dancing prowess of New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski. Without question, his moves with Extra host Charissa Thompson add a level of soul to the Gronk legend.

Throughout his career as an NBA player and even in the years since his retirement, Shaquille O’Neal has been a lightning rod for controversy. Not so much the kind of controversy where TMZ is on the scene and we’re seeing mug shots on the news-it’s entertaining more than anything. Unless you’re Scottie Pippen.

Any baseball fan will agree-rain delays are the worst. Whether you’re watching the big game from the comfort of your couch or in front-row seats along the third-base line at the stadium, play stoppages will literally rain on your parade.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Nick Young is one of the most strange and wonderful players in the NBA. Like a J.R. Smith or a Lou Williams, Young can light up the scoreboard in a hurry and do so with swagger (hence his Swaggy P moniker). He also has the power to shoot the Lake Show right out ... <a title="Is Lakers Star Nick Young Hip-Hop’s Next Superstar?" class="read-more" href="https://blog-admin.tickpick.com/is-lakers-star-nick-young-hip-hops-next-superstar/" aria-label="Read more about Is Lakers Star Nick Young Hip-Hop’s Next Superstar?">Read more</a>

I don’t know about you, but one of my goals while spending the summer in New York City is to avoid tourists.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is one diverse guy. If he’s not teaming up with Marshawn Lynch to bring the Vince Lombardi Trophy back to Seattle, he’s hosting Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Sports Awards or pondering a career as a Major League baseball player.

Though he was never quite able to stake his claim as one of the elite point guards in the NBA, Jason Williams remains one of the most memorable players of the last couple decades.

Any true  fanatic worth his salt will tell you that free agency and the NBA Draft aren’t the only summertime basketball events.

Last season, Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt terrorized opposing quarterbacks to the tune of 20.5 sacks. His impact on the field was so great for Houston that Watt was named the recipient of both the Bert Bell Award and 2014 AP Defensive Player of the Year honors.
