It has truly been a whirlwind of an off-season, and a bunch of teams have put themselves in positions to contend next year. Below are recaps of teams that have done well in the last two months, and of those who have not. Successes: Lakers: The Lakers have to be pleased with themselves. They replaced […]

There are two sides of the conversation regarding the Knicks’ choice not to resign Jeremy Lin. The first side is that of the New York fan base, a superficial,  shallow group to say the least. From a nonchalant fan’s perspective, this decision is a disaster. Jeremy made MSG a cool destination to be again, a […]

The basketball world has always known that Jason Kidd is a man of questionable character. The public perception of him as a wife-beating low life was reinforced today as news broke of a DWI last night. By no means do I condone young players that make awful decisions and are subsequently busted for DUIs and such. These […]

Many critics are leaping on the Knicks for failing to complete a sign-and-trade for Steve Nash. However, Nash would’ve been an epic mistake.

The NBA Finals have already proven to be controversial and exhilarating… I’ll be honest, my days are spent counting down the minutes until tip-off. Here are my notes from the first two games. – I’m willing to accept the fact that LeBron fouled Kevin Durant in the final seconds on his runner. However, it was […]

It’s a shame that NBA scouts and executives often pass up on quality point guards because of their lack of size. I just don’t agree that size is a vital quality in a point guard; they’re not going to be posting up or dunking on opposing teams anyway. Sure, size in point guards is nice […]

What a great run the Yankees are having. After a great sweep of their cross-town rivals, they’ve got to be feeling good. But, as always, I’ve got to focus on a negative. Alex Rodriguez is proving why he’s one of the most overrated players of all time. While people focus on LeBron James’s lack of […]
