2012 squad can’t beat Dream Team but maybe ’08 squad can
The 2012 US Basketball team would've never been able to beat the 1992 Dream Team. It doesn't matter if Lebron or Kobe says it or how many times they explain themselves. The 2012 team has too many injuries to key players (Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Blake Griffin) that would weaken it versus the front line and experience of the 1992 team. Charles Barkley, Karl ...

Bryant sticks foot in mouth with ’92 team comparison
Kobe Bryant, in an attempt to publicly energize Team USA for the upcoming Olympics said to numerous sports media outlets that the 2012 squad could beat the 1992 USA Basketball squad "The Dream Team". Nothing could have de-energized basketball fans more and will probably draw attention away from anything the 2012 squad could accomplish in London. To add on, ...

Who’s taking it all this year? Well, I’m here to give my take on this whole deal and what I want to see happen with all 16 squads in the playoffs. Die ...

Basketball is BACK!
I am certain that I have at least millions of people agreeing with me when I say "The best Christmas present was the fact that basketball is back!" The big stadiums, polished courts, stage lights and thousands of fans have a reason to be set alight as the sound of the players running, ball bouncing and the beautiful 'swish' is now heard! Basketball ...

Was there any point in the Lockout?
So the season is set to being on Christmas Day, December 25th with a triple header that will showcase 6 of the NBA's most popular teams (Celtics vs Knicks, Heat vs Mavericks, Lakers vs Bulls). Seems like a great way to start the shortened 66 game season off with a bang! By opening up the season with 3 marquee games the NBA is bringing in the new year ...

LBJ LBJ: How Many Shots Did You Miss Today?
While the old Vietnam War cry was referenced in the title, this will not be a disparaging diatribe against one LeBron James. The self-proclaimed villain of the NBA for once will be spared from my sharp tongue and instead will be given a chance at redemption. With the season over and Miami's once lively playoff hopes crushed by Dirk's Mavs, the spotlight ...

Round 2, Game 4 Recap: Mavs vs Lakers
Before this second-round series started, I don't think anyone-not even Dallas fans-expected it to turn out the way it did. A sweep for either team sounded like an almost impossible feat; that is until the Mavericks had the opportunity coming into Game 4 as they held onto a 3-0 series lead. Dallas played a game that will go down in the history books after ...
