Rumors

November 4, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors A few days ago, we told you that Jamaal Tinsley was attempting to make a comeback to the NBA. Once one of the better PGs in the league, he’s now 33 and is using the NBDL as his path back in. New head coach Eric Musselman won’t be [...]

November 4, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors Antoine Walker has proven to be the poster-child for why athletes should save their money. After being one of the most popular players in the league about a decade ago, he no doubt made some serious cash. He reportedly is broke, and is part of the reason why [...]

November 4, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors As TMZ put it, Kobe Bryant was finally back in the gym, but not with the Lakers. He was attending a workout with famed boxers Manny Pacquaio. If Kobe is there to pick up some pointers on footwork and or speed training, a boxing gym with the explosive [...]

November 4, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors No one has ever questioned Michael Jordan’s leaping ability. The man during his early years in the league got up so high he could see down through the rim. But at times it can be dangerous jumping that high without an air traffic controller and a ‘landing strategy.’ [...]

November 3, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors After more than a week off, and some dissention amongst the ranks on the side of the players, it looks like the two sides will finally get back together.

November 3, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors Oliver Miller wasn’t exactly the poster boy for being physically fit when he was playing in the NBA, but he was skilled in the post and had a soft touch. It is always sad for us to see former NBA players get themselves into trouble with the law [...]

November 2, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors Amidst all of the perceived contradiction going on on the side of the players, I’m sure the last thing Billy Hunter and Derek Fisher want is a player voicing his opinion on Twitter – especially when it contradicts what they are fighting for. The reason we are at [...]

November 2, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors Enough of this lockout stuff. Let’s actually talk basketball. Do you remember when Baron Davis came out of UCLA and was regarded as a can’t-miss prospect? Well, he wasn’t far from it and injuries are probably why he hasn’t enjoyed a borderline Hall of Fame career. While he’s [...]

November 2, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors We’ve seen players doing all sorts of things during the lockout that they normally don’t have time to do during the NBA season and/or off-season training. Just this week for example we saw Kevin Durant playing flag football at OSU with students to pass time. Well Chris Paul [...]
