July 6, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Every once in a while THD staff stumble across some pretty nice basketball related swag. Aside from our usually obsession with kicks, we don’t often get excited about random gear. But with the upcoming Olympics and NBA Fans everywhere getting exciting about the prospect of Kevin Durant, Lebron [...]

April 11, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Because of Rajon Rondo, the Boston Celtics are no longer the Big 3. Sometimes it appears as if they’re just the big 1 because of his production. His floor leadership seems like it would fit an international style of play (just based on his floor general qualities), but [...]

February 22, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors What do you guys think of the new Team USA uniforms Nike Basketball has created? Yesterday, Nike gave us all a sneak peek at the new design via twitter. They said its their ‘lightest bball jersey. Approx 96% recycled polyester.’ And they are calling it the “Nike Hyper [...]

With a special memorial message on his sneakers, Durant carried the United States into the gold-medal game at the world championship, scoring [...]

September 10, 2010 – THD Rumor Patrol Kevin Durant really took care of business as the US beat Russia to advance to the Semi-Finals. Durantula is on pace to be considered in this tournament as one of, if not the best, player in the world…. And by beating Russia on Thursday, the Americans brought a [...]

September 3, 2010 – Kevin Burke Well, I’ll be damned. Just when I thought this team and tournament couldn’t get any more interesting, we hear this. Team USA Coach, Mike Krzyzewski, isn’t ruling out the possibility of inserting Eric Gordon into the starting lineup. Of all the guys on the team, I thought Gordon belonged [...]

September 1, 2010 – Dr. Anklesnap I could not believe my eyes when I read the headlines from the New York Times this afternoon reporting on the FIBA World Championship game between Team USA and Iran.
