Nuclear winter has officially arrived for the NBA. As expected, players have filed two anti-trust lawsuits against the NBA. One in Minneapolis and one in Northern California. The suits claim, players have been coerced into agreeing to anti-competitive player restraints, and massive salary loss. Also, that the defendants-that would be the owners- are conspiring to eliminate competition between themselves. Want the details?

ESPN is apparently a wild place to work. When I heard last month that SVP Keith Clinkscale was leaving the company to become an independent producer and his 25-person content development department was being eliminated, I knew something was strange. These are the people who created the popular 30 for 30 documentaries, Sports Nation and other sports/entertainment fusion programing for the network.
Now, Deadpin has the goods on what allegedly caused him to leave. ESPN reps are saying that this way is a more efficient business model, and perhaps that’s true. But, with accusations of threatening coworkers, inappropriate sexual behavior on an airplane in front of ESPN reporter, Erin Andrews AND a lawsuit about this Deadspin article that was filed BEFORE the article was published… I’d say the ugliness is just beginning to make it’s way to the surface.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Michael Beasley is suing his former agent, Joel Bell
in the civil suit which is a counter to a suit filed by Bell in January.
Bell’s suit claims Beasley wrongfully terminated his representation agreement with Bell Sports Inc. just prior to signing an endorsement deal with Adidas and therefore was in breach of contract.

Score victory #1 for “Basketball Wives”. Chris Bosh’s lawsuit against his ex-girlfriend, Allison Mathis has been dismissed by a Los Angeles judge.
Back in early May, Bosh sued Shed Media, the producers of the show, and Mathis for allegedly infringing his trademark and publicity rights. The two parties, Bosh and Shed Media, eventually reached a settlement. At some point, Mathis was let go from the show.

Do you recall a man named Shawn Darling filing a lawsuit against Shaquille O’Neal? Darling was Shaq’s former personal IT guy. In the suit, he alleged that Shaq had hacked into his computer, destroying evidence and planting child pornography on Shawn’s computers to frame him.
