August 13, 2010 – Kevin Burke Are athletes guys who are overpaid for simply just playing a game? Absolutely, but it’s all relative. However, sometimes they do things that show you that they care and are interested in what’s going on. Yesterday, many players were in attendance to take in the negotiation session between the [...]

August 13, 2010 – Kevin Burke Chris Bosh is a very solid player. He is a perennial All-Star with strong fundamentals and should play a very key role in the future success of the new-look Miami Heat.

August 12, 2010 – Kevin Burke Being consistent with the theme of the summer of 2010, some more wheeling and dealing went down yesterday in the NBA. However, this wasn’ t via free agency.

August 4, 2010 – Kevin Burke Man, the NBA really knows how to keep itself relevant even during the long summer months. Despite the season ending close to two months ago, we haven’t really stopped talking about the league since. First, the Draft, then free agency, and now a partially released schedule for the 2010-2011 [...]

August 3, 2010 – Kevin Burke Last week, Chris Paul met with Hornets brass to discuss his future with the team and whether or not it involves him in the Big Easy.
