The NBA’s scoring title race is getting quite a twist over the last few weeks, as a red hot Carmelo Anthony, averaging 28.56 points per game, is threatening to break the hold of Kevin Durant, winner of the last three, surpassing the Oklahoma City Thunder player, who is currently stuck at second with 28.25 points, making it one of the closest scoring races in NBA history.

When you get that phone call during the NBA draft and realize you’re a number one pick, you might also get used to the fact that there isn’t much of a chance you’ll be winning the NBA title anytime soon, as only 8 of the last 35 number one draft picks went on to win a championship in their career, with LeBron James & the Miami Heat being the latest team to accomplish that feat.

While a lot is being made of LeBron James getting very close to 20,000 career points and being the youngest ever to reach that mark, the more important thing is to reach it faster than anyone else. More
One of the problems with Shaquille O’Neal being retired is that he spends his pensioner days as an NBA analyst and avid twitter user is that he seems to be trying to deliver some kind of agenda; in the center of it?

Two players from the Boston Celtics and one that was there for the past five seasons are in the top 10 earners in the NBA of all time. Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen are among the players to have the highest total career salary among all NBA players, ever.
