May 14, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Playoff basketball is all about mind games. No one was better at that than Phil Jackson. Apparently, Pacers coach Frank Vogel has taken a page out of the Zen Master’s book as his squad is about to go up against the Heat in the 2nd round. Indiana Pacers [...]

January 2, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors When thinking about the NBA in the 90’s, you think about the golden era. The game was filled with rivalries and future Hall of Famers and Commissioner Stern was on his high horse. [...]

August 30, 2011 – R.S. De France The Hoop Doctors continue looking back at the greatest centers in NBA history, decade by decade, with the 1970’s: ABOUT STATISTICS NOTES Drafted 1975 In 1970’s: Games 299 Points 5266 17.6 ppg Rebounds 2649 8.8 rpg Steals 412 1.37 spg Blocks 329 1.1 bpg Career: 14.1 ppg, 7.0 [...]
