Is Steve Nash a Hall of Famer? Part II
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. Upon discovery of several strong arguments going the other way, I decided to write the article against Nash’s [...]

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.

Photo Credit: Chris Carlson/AP Congratulations to the Los Angeles Lakers for winning the franchise’s 15th NBA Championship. This marks b’s fourth title reign and a milestone tenth championship for Phil Jackson. First off, this title for Phil should end any discussion about who the greatest coach in NBA history is. And while critics will attest his [...]

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
The recent success of the movie The Hangover got us thinking: which athletes would we want to go to Vegas with? We thought it’d be a fun little group project to do, so we asked the guys to pick three athletes, current or former (as long as they’re still alive), they’d want to go on [...]
