NBA Power 16 – Week 5
I know I missed last week’s power rankings but stupid life got in the way as I had to take my CPA exam. I think I passed but we’ll see I guess. Anyway, nobody wants to hear about that. Let’s get right into it. 1. LOS ANGELES LAKERS (8), 13-3 – The Lakers currently hold the [...]

1. ATLANTA HAWKS (7), 8-2 – After defeating the Celtics on the road, the Hawks take over the top spot this week. They have a difficult slate of games this week, however, as they face the Blazers, Heat, and Rockets. Fortunately for them, they’re all home games.

1. PHOENIX SUNS (9), 6-1 – Despite getting smoked by the Magic in Orlando, the Suns made up for it by beating the Celtics on the road. Steve Nash is playing like an MVP and is shooting better from 3-point land than 2-point distance. Are the Suns for real? This week will be a good [...]

The 2009-2010 NBA season tips off tonight with quite possibly the best quartet of games you’ll find on any given day throughout the year. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers cut the ribbon on the season as they renew their rivalry after a year off last year. Then, a refurbished Gilbert Arenas leads the revamped [...]

Like for many of you, NBA Live was my basketball game of choice in the ‘90s. It helped that it was also the only NBA game to play but that’s beside the point. PC was my platform of choice mainly because I did not own a PlayStation but it was awesome to play on the [...]

Friday, September 18, 2009
Similar to the intentions of the blogger who accused Raul Ibanez of taking PEDs, I initially started writing this article to prove that Steve Nash had secured a place for himself in the Hall of Fame.

Watch CBS Videos Online I didn’t really have an interest in touching on the subject of Michael Vick, but Anderson said I should so I am. I didn’t watch the 60 Minutes interview when it aired because those athlete interviews are just too predictable. Athletes aren’t the most eloquent or intellectual dudes and rarely are they [...]

Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Every rational basketball fan will admit that LeBron James is the best player in the world and that there really is no ceiling on his potential and abilities. However, the NBA is not a one-superstar-takes-it-all sport. Even Michael Jordan had a Top-50 All-Time Player and future Hall of Famer, Scottie Pippen (eligible in 2010), to [...]

I now know how people felt when Mickey Mantle retired from baseball. How comic book fans felt when Doomsday killed Superman. How wrestling fans felt when Hogan turned to nWo. It’s the same as how I feel when I think about the Allen Iverson situation in the NBA. It’s as though Hogan (the NBA) came [...]
