Is Brandon Jennings Already Calling the Shots in Milwaukee?
With the 10th overall selection in last Thursday’s NBA Draft, the Milwaukee Bucks either took a strong step forward to becoming an elite team, or they added a cancerous locker room presence. Truth be told, Brandon Jennings has ran his mouth quite a bit leading up to the draft, while also letting his opinion be [...]
2009 NBA Draft: 10 NBA-Ready Players
Both Eric Gordan and O.J. Mayo had only one year of college in them, yet that’s all they needed. The difficult questions is-are there two more players in this draft that could come close to their potential? Maybe, maybe not. But there are definitely some guys in this draft that, one way or another, should [...]
NBA Free Agency: Hedo Turkoglu
Hedo Turkoglu was arguably the piece that held the Orlando Magic together for much of the playoffs, and like many of the other Orlando players, he finally ran out of gas. Turkoglu exhibited his athleticism, ball skills, driving, and shooting on a large stage for all the world to see. He proved to be a [...]
Great, Lakers Are a Dynasty Again
Great, just great. Despite the Orlando Magic giving it everything they had in the first four games, all they have to show for it is one lousy win, and two close losses. You can blame Stan Van Gundy. You can point out Rafer Alston’s complaints, Jameer Nelson ruining the team chemistry, or Dwight Howard’s ineptitude [...]

Villanova point guard Scottie Reynolds has withdrawn his name from this month’s NBA Draft, and will return to finish his college career as a senior.

2009 NBA Draft Preview: Shooting Guards
Can anyone from this year’s class touch Kobe? We’re unlikely to find any shooting guards that will ever reach Kobe Bryant-status, but it’s not crazy to think we can find a guy or two that could challenge Vince Carter. There are probably 15 shooting guards in this draft that could start at the next level, [...]
Magic-Lakers: NBA Finals Preview
We can talk about Dwight Howard’s 40 points and 14 rebounds that led the Magic past the Cavaliers’ in game five. Or we can talk about LeBron James giving the Magic the cold shoulder, neglecting to shake hands and congratulate them. Or, we can talk about what’s ahead of us-what really matters-and which guy will [...]
Is LeBron James a Sore Loser, or Just a Loser?
Just two years ago, when the Cavs made it to the Finals, there weren’t many complaints about LeBron James‘ supporting cast. You’d have to be quite the jerk to complain about a team that just reached the championship game, right? Yes. That’s why everyone, LeBron included, waited until after the Spurs swept them to raise [...]
