Quick Hits: Before the game Shavlik Randolph was
trying to convince Michael Beasley that J.J. Redick’s rap
style was similar to Nas. Sorry, but I’m not buying the comparison. Chris Bosh did a fantastic job attacking Jermaine O’Neal and Joel Anthony early and often ...

For the first time in the two years
since I’ve been covering the Washington Wizards, I had
a legitimate dilemma: Who was I going to interview after the game? On one side of the locker room there was new and improved Gilbert Arenas, who recently vowed to leave the drab, monosyllabic ...

While doing research for the Bulls-Raptors game last
week I have to admit I was surprised to
find out Taj Gibson had secured a spot in the Bulls’ starting five. Sure, he entered this season as a first round pick, but during his time at USC he averaged a rather pedestrian 12.5 points and 8.5 ...

About a week ago, I was talking to
a friend of mine, and she asked me if
I thought the career of Grant Hill was a sad one. Initially when I sat and thought about it, I said to myself she makes a very valid argument. The first six years of Hill’s career with the Detroit Pistons included ...

Even though I’m a Raptors fan, I have
to admit I would have loved to see Bosh,
LeBron and Wade winning countless NBA Championships over the next decade in South Beach . Durant, Green and Harden want you to “Say Aah” Scoop Jackson makes a convincing case that ‘Melo ...

For the first time during this relatively new
basketball season, I had the distinct pleasure of appearing
on 90.3 FM KRNU in Lincoln, Nebraska to discuss the NBA. In this discussion, I talked about the firing of Byron Scott, the emergence of the Phoenix Suns, and the struggles of the ...

Some years ago I had the unenviable task
of guarding Mark Aguirre in a pickup game. I’d
like to say I held my ground as he posted me up, absorbing each of the bargelike blows he delivered with his hips and prodigious backside, holding strong against the Nor’easter of Ass he ...

You would think giving up 44 points in
the fourth quarter to Dallas on Saturday and following
that up by allowing Manu Ginobili to erupt for 36 points off the bench on Monday the Raptors would be provide a hard enough punch to the gut to rouse the team from their early season slumber on the ...

Cue LL Cool J and be careful what
you choose to call it, but it would appear
based on the early exit polls that the Phoenix Suns are back. Since being ushered out of the postseason by San Antonio (again) sixteen months ago, the Suns have been wandering the Arizona desert in search of a new ...

This summer while reading through Pitchfork Magazine something
that caught my attention was a series called 5-10-15-20
where they talked with musicians about what music has meant to them at different stages of their lives. Whether that was Maxwell sharing a song his Grandmother would sing to ...

About five hours before the Miami Heat defeated
the Washington Wizards , I decided that I wanted
to interview Heat center, Jermaine O’Neal. Not only had my editor informed me that he was a great talker, but he had some intangibles that led me to believe he would give me an interview of ...

- As I walked towards the press room
being set up for today’s game, Suns coach Alvin
Gentry started walking along side me. He remarked that he was tired, and wanted to just kick back and watch football. I told him that I wasn’t getting paid to cover the game today, so I would ...
