February 27, 2010 – Dr. Anklesnap We told you in early February that Michael Jordan had less than a month to make an offer to buy controlling interests in the Charlotte Bobcats or he may find himself out of a job. It was quite likely that any other new owner would want to put his [...]

February 26, 2010 – Kevin Burke Kevin Durant’s string of consecutive games scoring 25 points or more came to an end a few nights ago, at 29, against the Spurs.

Seriously. Why would Rudy even dream [...]

February 24, 2010 – Dr. J-Water We love the King here at The Hoop Doctors, that is quite obvious. But that doesn’t mean we can’t poke a little fun at Lebron James’ borderline obsessive compulsive disorder pre-game routine.
