  • The Miami Heat Finally Have the Old Dwyane Wade Back

    Dwyane Wade has had his problems this season, on the court with his shooting and handling injuries that have kept him off the court for nine games so far, but his recent form, since coming back on January 27 against the New York Knicks, averaging 23.6 points, has Miami Heat fans smiling.

  • LeBron James vs Blake Griffin – Still Can’t Decide Which Was the Better Dunk

    LeBron James OVER John Lucas. Blake Griffin ON Kendrick Perkins. It’s been what, two weeks almost since those two gave us the best dunks of the season and perhaps in a bigger time frame than that, and in the usual human affliction of trying to rank everything, an answer as to what was the better dunk still hasn’t sprung to my mind.

  • Kobe Bryant – Beating Shaquille O’Neal and Reaching Michael Jordan

    Bryant should reach 30,000 next season. Assuming he doesn’t sustain any long term injuries, and there’s no head coach or anyone in the locker room to tell him to stop shooting, who knows where he’ll stop? Getting that sixth ring, just like Michael Jordan, doesn’t seem likely, but passing him on the all time scoring list, despite more games and seasons, should make Bryant a happier man when he finally retires and his huge ego can move on to other endeavors.

  • Top Ten NBA Scorers of All Time

    With the 2008-2009 NBA Season over, it’s a good time to open the history books and see who are the current top ten all time scorers in the NBA and are there any active players among them or threatening their place in history.

  • LeBron Better Than Rose, Heat Better Than Bulls

    LeBron James isn’t just looking to win his first NBA title, he seems pretty determined to win back the MVP trophy he won twice in a row before Derrick Rose won it last season. His 35 points, while Derrick Rose failed to capitalize on two late chances, gave the Miami Heat a 97-93 win over the Chicago Bulls.

  • Two Wins Over the Magic Doesn’t Make Celtics Contenders

    Paul Pierce suddenly scoring 24 points doesn’t mean the Boston Celtics are an Eastern powerhouse once again, but a second win in four days over the Orlando Magic (91-83), with Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen not playing, has to mean some good news for a team that looked over the hill just last week.

  • Maybe Dwight Howard Will Stay With the Orlando Magic After All

    Dwight Howard wasn’t supposed to be still playing for the Orlando Magic according to all the signals during the short off season, the lack of effort during the pre-season games and just by him saying he wants to be traded, with more than a team or two mentioned as potential destinations. Now, with the Magic 12-5, the match looks stronger than ever.

  • Nuggets Got the Best of the Trade Deal With Clueless Knicks

    Depth isn’t a problem for the Denver Nuggets, but they player their double overtime game against the New York Knicks with only 7 players. According to the usual trend, someone had to have a huge night against the Knicks at the Garden, this time being Danilo Gallinari, scoring a career high 37 points in the 119-114 win.

  • Kevin Love Breaking Out to Superstar Level

    Kevin Love numbers aside, are the Minnesota Timberwolves for real? Depends on what you regard being for real. Championship material? Nope, not really close. But a playoff contender? After nearly a month of NBA action, the Wolves are 7-8, far from their usual position of already thinking about next year. Beating the Red hot Clippers (101-98) in dramatic fashion was another fine example.

  • Miami Heat – The 1970’s Look

    The Miami Heat weren’t even around in the 1970’s, with the franchise being founded in 1988 and to this day, probably the most successful of the late 80’s expansion teams, which also included the Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets and Minnesota Timberwolves.
