Kevin Burke

January 8, 2011 – Kevin Burke All-Star weekend is continuing to take shape and a few days ago we told you who would be participating in the dunk contest. The voting ballots for starter of the game opened up about 8 minutes after the season began but it’s becoming clearer who the starters will be. We’ll find out who [...]

January 6, 2011 – Kevin Burke It’s hard to believe that we’re a little more than a month away from the All-Star break. Time flies when you’re having fun I guess. One event that has traditionally been a marquee draw during the weekend is the dunk contest. Unfortunately, many of the dunk contests over the [...]

January 6, 2011 – Kevin Burke Until LeBron made his decision to head to South Florida, Kobe Bryant was clearly the most hated guy in the league. Now, he’s runner up.  He’s behind LeBron, but is still plenty hated. Both hated and disrespected, actually. By now, you’ve heard the comments that Lakers coach, Phil Jackson [...]

January 5, 2011 – Kevin Burke For the past decade or more, the NBA’s Western Conference has boasted the more dominant teams in the league for whatever reason. It has always been tough to explain, but it has been that way for a while. From the Lakers to the Spurs to the Suns to the [...]

January 3, 2011 – Kevin Burke After playing many sub .500 teams early on in the year, the Knicks have had their hands full with legit teams of late. They were able to beat good teams like the Thunder and Bullls. But those are just good teams. They weren’t able to beat very good teams [...]

January 3, 2011 – Kevin Burke Is it me or does defending Rookie of the Year and “Mr. 20, 5, and 5”, Tyreke Evans get somewhat overlooked? When people mention the best young guards in the league, his name will get mentioned, but it’s not until after a handful of names are rattled off already. [...]

December 31, 2010 – Kevin Burke New Year’s Eve. Three words that mean something different to each person. For some it means a quiet evening at home with the family. For others it’s a bright green light to drink until you’re sure to flunk a breathalyzer with flying colors. Whatever you end up doing tonight, [...]

December 31, 2010 – Kevin Burke They say nothing is bigger than the game itself. Sometimes I don’t know if I always agree with that. If there’s one thing that has become synonymous with the game of basketball, that would be the Jordan Brand, but more specifically the sneakers. The brand has become larger than [...]

December 29, 2010 – Kevin Burke I’ve harped on it time and time again. Today’s game has become very perimeter oriented. Gone are the days where the Center ran the show. To take it a step further, it appears that Point Guards are running the league. From Chris Paul to Deron Williams to Derrick Rose [...]

December 27, 2010 – Kevin Burke I’ve never really been a fan of the Knicks’ alternate green jerseys, but in the spirit of Christmas, I guess I can live with the fact that it was supposed to be a red and green theme when they took on the Bulls on the 25th. But even before [...]
