But you knew that, right? January 21, 1997: the Chicago Bulls hosted the New York Knicks. A few days before the game, Jeff Van Gundy claimed in a radio interview that Michael Jordan was a "Con Man" who befriended players off the court, to then strike like a viper on the court (Mamba, ...

Thanksgiving Top 5

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:56:56 +0000

Given that there were only two games played in the NBA last night, these are some surprisingly decent top five plays of the night. Dwight Howard's combination of size and athleticism is just ridiculous.

We talkin' 'bout retirement??

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:16:48 +0000

So much ink has been spilled about Allen Iverson over the years -- both of the electronic, online variety and of the good old fashioned newspaper kind. Much has been said of his career, his appearance, his controversial cockiness.

Ron Artest is an absolute goldmine for NBA media. He's almost heaven-sent. As a personality, I really admire the guy, as he appears to be totally genuine and fairly honest. He's real. Artest is also incredibly amusing, as this two-part interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, attests to. In addition, ...

James White dunks in slo-mo

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:00:33 +0000

James White. Surely you've heard of him. He's quite possibly the best dunker not in the NBA -- or even the best dunker in the world, according to some. Whilst not having proven himself to have consistent NBA talent (remaining a fringe player), he now plays with Russian Super League club, ...

This has been too long coming. The constant speculation over where LeBron James will play in 2010-11 and onwards has become nauseatingly boring. Any time I see an article related to the potential whereabouts of LeBron, DWade or Bosh, I immediately whirl up the internet engine and move on ...

Allen Iverson: former Memphis Grizzly

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:29:56 +0000

The Allen Iverson in Memphis experiment is over. Sadly, the only impression that the Answer made in Memphis was one of distraction and negativity. We know he could have done so much more for the team, if only he's been able to drop his ego and accept a bench role -- but that's not the AI we ...
