November 5, 2009 – Chip Patterson Chip Patterson, recent graduate of University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill, writes for TheHoopDoctors.com and BusterSports.com. A lifelong student of the game, he has passionately followed the NBA and College Basketball since C-Webb was calling “Timeout!”. A little over a week ago, as we looked into the NBA [...]

The Hoop Doctors love Michael Jordan. That’s got to be pretty obvious to everyone by now. So in honor of Michael, and to discourage the media from pretending to be clairvoyant in the future when it comes to comparing young ballers to the greatest to ever play, every week I will be shining a little [...]

February 27, 2009 – Dr. Dime Last night following the Phoenix Suns vs. LA Lakers game, I had to disagree with just about everything Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith of the TNT crew had to say. However one of the only things I could agree with them on, was that the following play was definitely [...]

January 21, 2009 – Dr. Browntorious I realize that what takes place in the following video is more of a side bump than a true ‘chest bump’, but it is hilarious none the less. I haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact game that this even takes place, however it hopefully is a lesson learned [...]

That’s not that great’, but given the low expectations for the Heat coming into this season with all [...]

December 6, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious What does it mean to be a ‘crafty veteran’? You hear the term a lot and you wonder at what point can a player consider himself to be a crafty veteran. Hell it’s a fairly subjective thing to quantify so i’m not going to try here in this post. [...]

December 4, 2008 – Dr. J-Water Kobe Bryant is the latest to exact ankle breakin’ punishment on a Philadelphia 76ers defender. Last night Bryant faked the drive on the athletic super defender Andre Iguodala, then stopped on a dime with a vicious crossover to an open jumper. Sure, i’ll admit Allen Iverson does this exact [...]

November 22, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap Everyone survive the great night of NBA Action last night? There were some surprises with the Nets win over the Raptors, and some usual suspects like the Spurs getting back into the mix with a win over the strong Utah Jazz squad. And what do you know…..the Lakers won [...]
