TMRB and RickyDavis31

NBA players with their own blogs or websites are becoming more and more prevalent. Most people know that Gilbert Arenas has been "blogging" and cheating at Halo 3 for a while, Greg Oden's blogging and two free agents this summer used their Internet outlets to discuss contract situations (Charlie Bell at MySpace and Dee Brown on his own site).

One blog that everyone should read is Too Much Rod Benson. You may know Rod from the poll sitting over at the right, or maybe you even caught him on Real NBA Training Camp with the Nets on NBATV. Well, he got cut today. Just like Paul Shirley before him, Rod Benson has become the victim of poor marketing foresight. His blog was well worth reading even when he was in the D-League, so I advise you to check him out.

Another player site that caught my eye was RickyDavis31.com. Not only is his website built with the same CMS as this site, but apparently those running it have permission to refer to Mr. Davis as "Get Buckets." Note to said webmasters: that's great that Ricky leads the team in scoring, but how's about he plays consistently instead of clanking repeatedly in the second half.

In case you were interested, there are a few other Wolves with their own sites:

  • RashadMcCants1.com - Yes, there is poetry available. Supposedly he has his own ringtone available, but the link appears to be broken. From "KG": He came to me with open arms, like a hawk embracing his young, and he feed me food out his mouth but I was starving for knowledge.
  • Theo-Ratliff.com - Seriously, you need to go look at Theo's website. Not only does it win for "Most Mid-90s Geocities-style Website," (last modified 8/23/07) but he's also got his own sports drink. "ReboundfxTM is more than just a drink... It's absolute PERFORMANCE!"
  • S31t.com (Sebastian Telfair) - Complete with music. I'm no hip-hop expert, so when the song started I thought it was Wrex N Efex's Rumpshaker. Sadly, no. Just Jay-Z... I think. Also, "Bassy Ringtones" are supposedly available, but just more broken links.
  • JuwanHoward.com
  • BigAlJefferson.com
  • MarkMadsen.com
  • GregBucknerFoundation.com
  • RyanGomes4.com - Apparently this isn't finished yet because the ole' "Lorem ipsum" text is the answer to "Why is Ryan Gomes the future All-Star?" (Lots of nerd shout outs for the Hoopus today)
  • MarkBlount.com - Unofficial, but worth mentioning since they appear(ed) to love him. At least back in January 2006.
