Display Posts from a Category In Grid Like Manner

[ven666detta]

How to display posts from a certain category using their thumbnail in a grid like fashion?

For example:
I have a category USA Basketball and posts for each member of the team (with thumbnail). What I want to see in my sidebar is the posts under this category but only shows the thumbnails and also in a gridlike manner...
