NBA Primetime presents to you the NBA's Top 2010 Free Agents and their most likely destinations for the '10-'11 season. Chris Bosh (PF, TOR) Player Option- Stay or Go?

NBA Today: The Four Best Jump Shooters

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:51:42 +0000

Some say the game today is all flash and that fundamentals have gone out the window. And some would be right. The game has certainly changed throughout the years to better utilize the freakish athleticism that has become abundant in recent years. Why would a guy like Lebron take a jumper when driving to the hole is an option? You really can't blame coaches for attacking the rim and getting more efficient shots, but at the same time some of us will always favor the good old days when a pretty jumpshooter was the best friend of every coach. Maybe I'm just being a little nostalgic, but I miss seeing a team full of guys who can shoot. I'm sick of seeing NBA players who can't even make a free throw. When highlight reels are made you pretty much see nine dunks and a game winning jumper. Don't get me wrong, I love dunks, but at the same time I miss the pretty J's of yesteryear. Great Balance, squared up, elbows in good position, and a great follow through. Not all four of these guys do all of those ...

The Evolution of the NBA Poster Prop

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:20:12 +0000

As passionate NBA fans, we have witnessed change since day one; the peach basket and leather ball has come a long way. We have seen the progress of game play and the growth of different hair styles. And let’s face it; the change hasn't always been for the better. As care takers of the wonderful sport, we've stood our ground and protested the ugly, the unjust and the excessive. Yes, we have seen change around the NBA. Nevertheless, there has been a low key development occurring in basketball ever since its birth. That is the evolution of the poster prop. Shuffling defensive feet pays off, but it also comes at a huge cost. Begin Slideshow

Stevenson pleased to make James lose his focus

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:17:08 +0000

DeShawn Stevenson could not stop himself from grinning on Thursday, a day after he managed to sucker LeBron James into some silly quest to dominate him in the fourth quarter. Coach Flip Saunders put Stevenson on James, and the move worked out splendidly for the Wizards, as Stevenson frustrated James and the Cavaliers offense went out of whack. "What I was trying to do was make it a one-on-one thing, so that he would forget about his teammates," Stevenson said. "He's a good player and if he gets into that mode that he's shooting all the time, it's going to be hard for them to win." James wasn't in that mode in the first quarter, as he handed out seven of the team's 13 assists in the period, and the Cavaliers built a 10-point lead. After three quarters, James had 28 points on just 13 shots, but he appeared offended

This is it. Unless they meet in the playoffs, this is the only time this season that Washington Wizards fans will be able to express their love and affection for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The last time Cleveland came to Washington, the Wizards snapped the Cavaliers' 13-game win streak as they fielded a team with Gilbert Arenas, Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood for the only time all season. I love you, too, D.C. (Photo by Fernando Medina/NBAE via Getty Images) There always seems to be good reason for the Wizards to be upset with the Cavaliers, but here is another: The Wizards' six-game losing streak began on Nov. 3 in Cleveland, when they blew an 18-point first half lead before Shaquille O'Neal knocked them over -- he clobbered DeShawn Stevenson and sent the rest of Washington's big men to the bench in foul trouble.

Lebron James Comes To Washington: The Fact and The Fantasy

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:06:01 +0000

The Washington Wizards are set to "welcome" LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Verizon Center for their second meeting of the season. The outcome will not be as one-sided as the first, as Antawn Jamison makes his season debut against the Cavs. With LeBron coming to town now, and his impending free agency next summer, it is difficult to overlook the potential impact on the Wizards. The Fact James and the Cavaliers have had the Wizards' number in recent memory. In the playoffs, Cleveland with LeBron has won 12 of 16 against the Wizards. But in the regular season, the Cavs with LeBron are 11-11 against Washington. Cleveland already owns a 12 point victory over Washington this season, but the score does little justice to how badly the Wizards played. Good thing this isn't the playoffs. In their first meeting of this season, the Wizards shot 39 percent from the field and 29 percent from beyond the arc. In comparison, the Cavaliers shot 41 percent from the field and 42 ...
