Now that we are about a quarter of the way through the season and less than three weeks from Christmas Day, which many consider to be the unofficial start of the season for most NBA fans and the time when the action and intensity begins to pick up in the long 82-game season, it seems [...]

With just over a week until the much anticipated 2014-15 NBA season gets underway (thank you Baby Jesus) it is the optimal time to bust out the crystal ball (or trash can) and make some predictions. Will LeBron bring the Larry O’Brien Trophy to “The Land?” Will Duncan get ring number six? Who will win [...]

Dirk Nowitzki’s size and skill set makes him ungaurdable when his shot is falling. Guards are too small and big men aren’t quick enough. At the tender age of 36, Dirk is adding a new dimension to his game: a quicker release. I never considered his release to be slow, but this definitely can’t hurt: [...]

DeMarcus Cousins is most certainly one of the better big men in the NBA today. He may be a little hot-headed at times, but his talent can’t be denied. Hence his roster spot on Team USA this summer. Check out Cousins playin’ with Steph Curry at practice, claiming to be the third ‘splash brother’…. [...]

The all-NBA teams lead to some interesting debate each year. For the 1st team, the forward positions seem to be locked in with James and Durant, but the guards and center usually has some new faces. And this year, James Harden was a newcomer to the first team. Many believed that Steph Curry, or even [...]

The Golden State Warriors will be without Andre Iguodala for the next few games due to knee tendinitis. When at full strength, Golden State can beat just about anybody. But that’s the key: having a completely healthy squad. Iggy missed time earlier this year, and Bogut (and to a lesser degree, Steph Curry) have also [...]

This past June, the Portland Trailblazers were looking for another key piece of the puzzle to accelerate their rebuild and get back to being one of the premier teams in the Western Conference. To their amazement, star senior guard CJ McCollum, who has been favorably compared to an even better shooting Steph Curry, fell into [...]

Ever since the 2012 NBA Playoffs, Pacers center Roy Hibbert has really made a name for himself as one of the best all-around big men in the Association, or at least in the Eastern Conference. The former NCAA standout at Georgetown started his career slowly, averaging only 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds as a rookie [...]
