You would think semi-meaningless end-of-season awards like the all-defensive team would be pretty hard to screw up, but, well I wouldn’t be writing this post if the NBA got it right.
Somehow, when the league named its all-defensive team on Wednesday, Tyson Chandler was on the second team.
Why is that shocking or weird in any way? [...]
Every year ESPN: The Magazine comes out with on the most interesting lists in sports – the highest-paid players list. They go into every athlete’s salary in every major sport – and some obscure sports – and tell us who made the most money just for competing. Sports Illustrated also does a similar annual list, [...]
For the last little while there has been a furor of debate about how Kentucky would possibly fare against the weakest teams in the NBA. I originally liked the idea considering how this is one of the strongest NCAA teams in history and will very likely take home the championship tonight.
But the fact remains that [...]
We’ve boiled down an astounding 68 NCAA basketball teams through a crazy – some would say mad – two weeks and now we’ve found four that are fit enough to make the final. While all have their merits, one team is a clearly above the rest: Kentucky.
Usually an offensive juggernaut – and they’re no slouches [...]
With the first tipoff of the 63 that will settle who’s the best team in NCAA basketball set for 12:15 today, why not throw out a few predictions and a little bit of a breakdown of what we know, well, just think we know.
OK, that first sentence has two technically incorrect facts: First, we’ve already [...]
It has taken me a while to sift through this year’s NCAA bracket and I’m still as confused as I was when I started to stare at it for an hour straight. In honesty, it has also been fairly easy to get sidetracked by the Redskins’ megatrade for RG3, Peyton’s free agent cross-country tour and [...]
The following quote is exactly the reason why the NBA needs to adopt the NHL’s idea of having a fantasy draft for the players involved in the all-star. It comes from John Wall, last year’s rookie of the year runner-up who was selected 11th overall in the rookie-sophomore draft.
“It’s a joke to me. If they [...]
You might not believe it, but somehow the unlikely story of Jeremy Lin just keeps getting better. After hitting the game-winning three-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining in Toronto on Tuesday night, Lin had a career-high 13 assists against the Kings back in New York on Wednesday.
Sadly, his streak of scoring at least 20 points in [...]
How can you not love Jeremy Lin? He’s the least likely superstar in the NBA and he’s literally blowing up the Internet. I’ll admit that I’m incredibly late to the party on Lin, but I’ve just got to throw some love his way.
Since starting to get significant minutes for the Knicks, Lin has been on [...]
Are you sick of the NBA yet? Because I sure am.
Look at the amount of low-scoring games that are taking place night after night and look at how many injuries are being accrued. How many all-stars have are currently hurt right now? By my off-hand count, at least four: Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade, Al Horford [...]
