July 23, 2010 – Kevin Burke As a basketball enthusiast on both the collegiate and pro levels, it’s always interesting to watch a guy elevate from an amateur in college and be able to watch him throughout his career in the NBA.  On the other hand, I’m always amazed by guys who prove to be [...]

  July 22, 2010 – Allen Moll Together they have scored more than 70,000 points, been a participant in 33 NBA All Star Games, won 8 scoring titles, and won 2 league MVP Awards, but apparently the now 30+ year old Shaquille O’Neal, Allen Iverson, and Tracy McGrady are having a difficult time finding their [...]

July 20, 2010 – THD Podcast This week on THD Podcast, Kevin Burke recounts some of the events he attended at the ESPY’s and the Gatorade AOY Luncheon.

July 20, 2010 – Dr. Dime Amar’e Stoudemire is leaving Phoenix for New York but that’s not to say he’s not grateful to the City of Phoenix and the Suns organization for the opportunities they provided him.

July 16, 2010 – Dr. J-Water Today in the Orlando Sentinel I read something that shocked me to my core as a basketball fan. Especially as one that loved hoops in the 80’s and 90’s. Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway has announced publicly (with a serious face) that he would like to come out of retirement and [...]

July 16, 2010 – Allen Moll With Kobe Bryant and the LA Lakers winning back-to-back NBA Titles, and Kobe personally winning his 5th ring, he is inching closer and closer to Michael Jordan’s 6 World Titles, which are universally regarded as the benchmark for greatness in the modern era. While it’s true that big men [...]

July 7, 2010 – R.S. De France By now you’ve all read Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert’s comments in the wake of LeBron James’ “decision.” If you missed it, please read “Open Letter to Fans from Cavaliers Majority Owner Dan Gilbert.”  It’s great stuff…in the sense that Shaquille O’Neal’s rap in which he asked Kobe Bryant [...]
