The 1996 NBA Draft Was Clearly the Best Ever

The 1996 NBA Draft Was Clearly the Best Ever

June 24, 2010 – Kevin Burke The 2010 NBA Draft will be held tonight in New York. Everyone who’s name is in the draft obviously hopes to hear his name called but of course, many will be disappointed. The field of “can’t miss” prospects in this year’s draft is a short list. A very short [...]

First Time for Everything, Even for Stephon Marbury

March 28, 2009 – Dr. J-Water I’m a hater. That’s right y’all, anyone close to me knows that i’ve been completely OFF the Stephon Marbury bandwagon (if there ever was one) for quite some time. The odd time I may still rock a pair of retro And 1’s playing some streetball, but that’s about as [...]

Boston Celtics 2007-08: Opening Night Video Says It All!

September 16, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap How fierce and intense is the face of Kevin Garnett in the heat of battle? The guy is borderline scary to even watch, regardless of the fact that i’m sitting in the comfort and safety of my own home watching him through the TV. Last season was a dream [...]

Should Ray Allen have received the NBA Finals MVP?

Should Ray Allen have received the NBA Finals MVP?

June 18th, 2008 – Dr. Anklesnap I know, I know, I know, none of the “Beantown Trio” (Garnett no longer wants to be called The Big Three) really care who wins the Finals MVP award, as each of their ultimate goals was to win the NBA Championship. These guys put their individual statistical tracking aside [...]

Game 5 – Lakers alive; Not pretty but a win is a win…

June 16th, 2008 – Dr. Browntorious Well it wasn’t pretty now was it? But a win is still a win, and the season is still alive for the Lakers. Unfortunately for Lakers fans all of those questions regarding Kobe Bryant’s offensive performance thus far in this series have still not been answered. He did improve [...]

NBA Finals 2008: Show Ray Allen the Love; Irony for Allen and Garnett

June 13, 2008 – Dr. J-Water When the NBA Finals began I stated that the key to this series was whether or not Kobe Bryant could defend Ray Allen. As Game 4 is now in the books and the Celtics are leading the Lakers 3-1, I guess the answer is no. I received multiple emails [...]
