Comparison

LeBron James continues to reach new levels of Cheesy Dad Mode. On the heels of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Tuesday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the four-time MVP dropped a new nickname to describe himself and teammate/best-friend-forever Dwyane Wade. And, well, yeah. Let’s just say it wasn’t the greatest. Per ESPN.com’s Dave McMenamin: [tweet https://twitter.com/mcten/status/943327936899436544] [...]

Ever since Lonzo Ball came on to the scene as a highly-touted basketball recruit (and LaVar entered our lives) his combination of size and special play-making ability has led to a number of comparisons to hall of fame point guard and current Milwaukee Bucks Head Coach Jason Kidd. Ball has looked the part as a [...]

Derrick Rose drilled what turned out to be the game-sealing shot in the New York Knicks’ Tuesday night victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. This naturally led to questions about him returning to his old self. But Derrick Rose has moved beyond those inquiries, per the New York Daily News‘ Stefan Bondy: “That vintage (Rose) [...]

It’s unfair, but safe to say that Damian Lillard is grossly underrated. His annual all-star snub is proof.

Westbrook is starting to take this Hipster style to a whole [...]

December 12, 2011 – The Hoop Doctors We made a conscious decision a couple years ago to stop comparing Kobe Bryant to Michael Jordan. But we can’t be mad at ya for making the comparison. Not only does Kobe play a similar style to Jordan, but he walks like Jordan, runs like Jordan, shoots like [...]

August 10, 2011 – Allen Moll We see or hear of some pretty insane player comparisons every year as high school players move on to the college ranks. While most are just way out there, a few actually hit the mark. Prior to last season we saw NC State’s CJ Leslie touted as the next [...]

January 6, 2011 – R.S. De France Can you really compare a future Hall of Fame power forward with a forgettable forward like Tyson Chandler?  Well, that’s exactly what Dirk Nowitzki recently did. On TNT last Thursday during the San Antonio Spurs v. Dallas Mavericks game, which the Spurs only won 99-93 despite the absence [...]
