September 20, 2010 – Dr. J-Water I know everyone is jonesin’ for the 2010-2011 season to kick off, including all of us here at The Hoop Doctors. So much so that I found myself watching this video multiple times today to get the adrenaline rushing. Personally, I think the Ty Lawson dunk on DJ Mbenga [...]

September 20, 2010 – Allen Moll The recruitment of Austin Rivers, currently the newly #1 rated prospect in the 2011 HS Recruiting Class by Rivals, has been a bit confusing. After initially giving a verbal commit to play for Billy Donovan at the University of Florida early in his HS career, Rivers has officially re-opened [...]

September 20, 2010 – Kevin Burke One of the most highly anticipated NBA seasons in recent memory is finally just over a month away from tipping off. However, with free agency and the FIBA World Championships, there has been plenty of basketball related stories to talk about to get us through the summer. Well, we can [...]

September 17, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol This is just sick and wrong. Whoever did this is an ignorant coward. Otherwise they would man up and show themselves.

September 16, 2010 – Allen Moll Do you long for some great throwback NBA and NCAA footage of superstars of the past featuring some of the game’s best players? Do you miss watching games in which the jump shot was an art form and not an afterthought? Longing to see some of the hardwood’s greatest [...]

September 15, 2010 – Dr. Anklesnap Stephon Marbury has been one one crazy character in the NBA for a long time. He is a media darling and a PR nightmare all at the same time due to his antics and odd off the court behaviour. But he’s in China now, trying to salvage what’s left [...]

September 13, 2010 – R.S. De France With Scottie Pippen entering the Hall of Fame (HOF), it has made a lot of us wonder why it took so long for the Chicago Bulls organization to honor him with his own statue.  For the defensive-minded forward who joined Michael Jordan for all 6 of his NBA [...]
