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 ...

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 ...

Through the first week of the NBA season,
a few popular championship picks have come out a
little flat. Granted the season’s barely cracked dawn, but apart from the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, nearly every preseason contender that had made a significant addition in the off season as an ...

After a slow start to the season —
at least in relation to the lofty expectations surrounding
him — Jose Calderon has found himself smack dab in the middle of a point guard controversy. One local beat writer hinted at the need for a change while message boards have been nothing short of ...

Something that caught my attention while watching Toronto’s
win over Detroit last night was the new mental
toughness the team displayed. After racing out to a 17-point lead midway through the game, they allowed Detroit to scrap and claw back in the fourth quarter. What was once a sizeable ...

Yesterday morning while I was reading through the
headlines in the Toronto newspapers I couldn’t help but
chuckle at the suggestion of a beat writer that the team should change their starting point guard . To me that’s comparable to dating someone for a month, having a great date ...

Standing at the free throw line with 20,000
fans yelling and stomping their feet isn’t the most
comfortable place in the world to find yourself. Throw in the fact that Dwight Howard entered this season shooting a putrid 60 per cent from the “charity stripe” during the course of his career and ...

When I first got into watching basketball around
the age 8, the allure of the sport was
following the stars I saw on television. I liked watching players like Julius Erving , Bernard King , Terence Stansbury and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar . But my two favorite basketball players by far were James ...

I have a confession to make: after two
seasons of covering the NBA I had started to

Last season Ryan Anderson enjoyed a highly successful
rookie season which saw him average 7.4 points and
4.7 rebounds while playing a shade under 20 minutes per game (19.9). By all accounts Anderson was a great fit and a big part of New Jersey’s youth movement. That all changed when Orlando ...

I’ve heard countless stories of Dwight Howard’s sense
of humour but before today I had yet to
witness this first hand. Today that changed and in a big way. As I walked into Orlando’s locker room, Howard mimicked the teams PR rep’s voice in a playful way and then proceeded to rip on a Toronto ...
