August 17, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Andre Iguodala is one of the newest members of the Denver Nuggets.

August 16, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors It has been rumored that Hakeen Olajuwon charges somewhere in the neighborhood of $50,000 per session to work with NBAers to help hone their post-skills. He has been working with Amar’e Stoudemire (who can afford that) for a while this summer and “the Dream” likes what he sees [...]

August 16, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors This must be the week to anoint someone else as potentially being better than Michael Jordan. First was Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim and now it’s John Salley, a former teammate of Jordan. Salley was a guest on Colin Cowherd’s radio show and shared the following: [...]

August 14, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Maybe a change in scenery will do Andrew Bynum some good. Granted, he had his best season as a pro last year, but his immaturity overshadowed that to a degree. Now that he’s in Philly, the Sixers are a much improved team. But first, Bynum will have that secret [...]
