Lebron James

The last couple of seasons we have seen just how tough it is to beat Miami’s ‘Big Three’ in a 7-game series. Sure the Mavs pulled it off for the title two years ago, but this season Miami proved they could win when it counted and the Big Three became champions. Everyone knows that defending [...]

September 18, 2012 – Ben Berry Despite the fact that Team USA brought home the gold medal at this past Olympic Games in London over a month ago, Nike Basketball decided to continue the celebration by releasing the ‘Gold Medal Pack’ later on this month. The set will feature the current signature sneakers of Kevin [...]

September 18, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim The Miami Heat make everyone look old. I mean, everyone. They make dynasties look antiquated before they’re even officially dynasties. Every fast break, every globetrotter alley-oop attempt was a slap in the face against which teams had no defense. For every game played against the Heat last year, it [...]

September 17, 2012 – Rob De France 7’1, 325 lb. rapper, actor, TNT analyst, and 15-time All-Star, the always irreverent Shaquille O’Neal criticized Dwight Howard’s move to the Los Angeles Lakers, a move which so closely mirrors O’Neal’s own defection from the Orlando Magic 16 years earlier. Howard can only hope to enjoy similar success [...]

September 13, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim The uniformly exaggerated statements of ESPN’s Skip Bayless are something of a marvel. Beyond the fact that there’s a tangible desire for ratings behind his “opinions”, there’s something else. There’s this sort of…self assurance. Skip Bayless, I imagine, wakes up in the morning, goes to work, gets make-up put [...]

September 12, 2012 – Dan Favale Kevin Durant needs to become the face of the NBA. Not LeBron James, not Kobe Bryant—Kevin Durant. Why? Because Durant is as close to the perfect superstar as the Association currently has. Cue the backlash. Don’t be too hasty in ripping apart this assessment; I’m well aware James is [...]

September 11, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim The off season has seen no regression for the Heat’s Chris Bosh. The newly minted NBA champion has been talking lately about gaining some weight in order to facilitate a move to the center spot. “Chris Bosh is adding bulk (six pounds of lean muscle) to prepare for the [...]

September 10, 2012 – Mohamed Abdihakim As part of the core of perhaps the NBA’s most despised team, Dwyane Wade knows a thing or two about “making it work”. Despite acquiring the league’s best big man and one of its best floor generals, skepticism abounds among the NBA’s elite when it comes to the Lakers. Kevin [...]

September 5, 2012 – Dan Favale There’s an elephant in the Miami Heat’s locker room in the form of Dwyane Wade’s knee. Few people would care to admit it, but Miami’s wunderkind is getting older. Wade is on the wrong side of 30, with anything but a clear bill of health to back his name. [...]

August 31, 2012 – Rob De France After a series of new moves this off-season, we revamp our count down of the Top 10 trades or free agent signings: 10. Louis Williams to Atlanta Hawks The Hawks brought in the offensive engine that made the Philadelphia 76ers go last season, as he scored a career-high [...]
