2011

March 11, 2011 – Allen Moll Who says Notre Dame’s Ben Hansborough is the Big East’s Player of the Year?  St. John’s Dwight Hardy, Syracuse’s Rick Jackson, and UConn’s Kemba Walker all deserved mention for the award. But only Walker took matters into his own hands Thursday as he nailed yet another game-winning shot to [...]

March 11, 2011 – Allen Moll Let me preface this by stating that I am a Philadelphian through and through, so much so that I bleed green (Eagles), red (Phillies and 76ers), and even at times blue (Villanova). I think you get the point that when it comes to Philly sports, there aren’t many bigger [...]

March 10, 2011 – Allen Moll Remember those corny, yet amazingly funny Nike ads during the 80‘s and early 90‘s that featured a young Michael Jordan dunking over everyone and filmmaker Spike Lee? Lee ran commentary in the commercials while dressed as a Brooklyn born superfan of Mike, during the days even before the G.O.A.T [...]

March 3, 2011 – Allen Moll It seemed as if the high speed, highlight reel style of play that international sensation Ricky Rubio is accustomed to was a perfect fit for the National Basketball Association. After all, while international players focus more on winning championships their American counterparts and their fans seem to sometimes be [...]

February 25, 2011 – Allen Moll The game of basketball is filled with oddities, abnormalities, and luck  just like any other sport. In baseball we’ve seen a routine fly ball careen off of Jose Canseco’s melon and over the fence for a home run. In football, there is the Steelers Franco Harris and the Immaculate [...]

In a shocker, the Nets traded for Deron Williams. Because they've struck out as far as acuiring star players, were the Nets forced to overpay for Williams? [...]

February 25, 2011 – Joshua Sexton It was argued back and forth for almost six months if the Nets or Knicks were going to acquire Carmelo Anthony from the Denver Nuggets. One day a deal would seem inevitable. Other days it seemed like nothing more but a mere fantasy. On Monday, all of the Carmelo [...]
