July 19 2010 – Allen Moll While former Ohio State and current Philadelphia 76ers player Evan Turner has un-ceremonially been given the nickname “Villain” by superblogger and Buckeye walk-on player Mark Titus, he thankfully has given up his title to 2 time reigning MVP, and Cleveland defector, Lebron James. While we all would agree that [...]

July 19, 2010 – Michael Cahill So I asked my bosses here at The Hoop Doctors if I could put a cap on the whole Lebron James situation and the fallout that has occurred thereafter. Since they have graciously agreed, let me start out by establishing a few things. First, the last column idea about [...]

July 15, 2010 – Allen Moll Seemingly everyone that I talk to is still venting on the whole Lebron, Wade, and Bosh forming a superpower in Miami thing. While I personally would have liked to have seen James stay in Cleveland and forming his own legacy by attempting to win a title on his own, [...]

July 14, 2010 – Dr. Anklesnap Word on the street is that Kobe Bryant has set up a meeting with his former rival Raja Bell to try and persuade the veteran guard to join the LA Lakers for next season. Even though Derek Fisher has just resigned with the Lakers, Kobe realizes that the Lakers [...]
