While both Chris Brown and Rihanna attended Game 4, RiRi may have her eyes on a new baller.
On Thursday night, the Lakers and the Magic faced off in Game 4 of the NBA finals, but they weren't the only adversaries in the Orlando arena.

According to the Daily News, Brown went over to where Rihanna was sitting to say hello to her friends. "Chris was definitely trying to make … Read More
Compromise, support, sacrifice: professional athlete couples teach us about making a marriage work.
Sore muscles, grueling training and abundant egos are the pitfalls of a professional athlete's otherwise exciting career. For those married to fellow pro athletes, add to the list long stints of time apart, living in different time zones and competing playing schedules. The compromise and support these relationships require is something we can all appreciate, even if our own relationships seem ordinary next to the hectic lives of athletic superstars.

Chris Brown watches from the sidelines as ex his takes center stage.
Chris Brown better watch his back or he might get fouled by a very tall and very protective point guard. Brown’s former better half, Rihanna, was spotted partying with 6-foot-3 Baron Davis and his L.A. Clippers teammates at the Los Angles hotspot My House. The star danced, sipped Grey Goose and flirted with Davis and his teammates all night long, said the New York Daily News, while cheering on the crowd as they booed her former beau.
Let’s see Chris Brown try to make a layup now.
A man joins the ranks of sports-enthused males, thanks to his wife.
I smile when I hear "Touchdown!" shouted from the living room. There I am in the kitchen making dinner while my wife watches the televised NFL playoff game on a Sunday afternoon. After 27 years of marriage, this is a perfectly normal scene for us."Are you watching the game again?" I shout."Yeah," she admits.We both see the humor in the situation—this does not fit the stereotype of men and sports.I grew up in a family where sports was not a major part of life. We played an occasional game of badminton or croquet and maybe tossed a softball, but … Read More

Jason Kidd has told May Anderson to take a hike, per Page Six.
American hoopster, Jason Kidd, has dumped his girlf, according to the New York Post's Page Six. Evidently, the Olympic team's top point guard was promised by his girlf that she's sort of lay low while he trained for the Olympic Games. We get it, like prize fighter abstaining from sex while their training to keep focused, jittery, and backed up.
Then he saw her all up in Page Six and had had enough. Evidently, this May Anderson of his is a friend of Page Six and general tabloid favorite Lindsay Lohan. The distraction was too much … Read More
One girlfriend wonders: Is there room for me and college hoops in his life?
We had just sat down to breakfast at a quaint Connecticut inn last Monday morning, during a romantic midwinter getaway.
The fireplace was roaring. Calming new age music piped softly, and our innkeeper was busy preparing us a small feast. Perfect, I thought. It was precisely the kind of escape I'd imagined when we planned the trip weeks ago.
Jon turned to me and smiled. "Can you hand me the sports section?" he asked.
I suppose I should have expected this: It is mid-March, the time when many a man's fantasy turns to college hoops. … Read More

In fact, the beauty of collegiate sports' biggest event is the chance for everyday, non-sports fans to get in on the action. Clearly, it's not a science: Even the most hard-core hoops … Read More
