  • NBA Trade Deadline 2012 – All the Deals

    No big deals except for the Monta Ellis – Andrew Bogut trade (along with some spare parts), as the 2012 NBA trade deadline went and gone without the big splash of last year (Carmelo Anthony, remember), as the major players – Dwight Howard, Pau Gasol and Josh Smith if you will stayed put, while team mostly messed around with minor changes.

  • The Most Valuable College Basketball Teams

    The top 68 basketball programs in the nation (at least for 2012) will begin their journey in the 2012 NCAA tournament, with the Kentucky Wildcats regarded as the big favorites to win it all, ranked #1 in the nation and going undefeated in the SEC this season. Their also one of the most profitable programs in the nation, but they’re not the most valuable or profitable, with another Kentucky team surprising at the top.

  • What’s More Important – Winning the Conference Tournament or Regular Season Title?

    Missouri won the Big 12 tournament for the eighth and final time before shipping off to the SEC, beating Baylor. Should it put them ahead of Kansas in the seeding for the NCAA Tournament? Kansas are #3 on the AP poll, Mizzou #5. I don’t know if winning the tournament gives you the go ahead over the regular season champion. I think it shouldn’t, but I’m also not sure it matters.

  • Euro 2012 Favorites – Early Edition

    Spain are the World and European champions, with infinite quality in their midfield, mostly based on Barcelona and the Xavi-Iniesta duo. Both Germany and the Netherlands should make it out of the “group of death”, and are the most serious challenge in the Spaniards way for the Euro 2012 title.

  • Top 15 NBA Players to Build a Team Around According to the Players Themselves

    LeBron James doesn’t show up for fourth quarters? Arguable. Afraid to take the last shot? Some would argue he makes the right decisions and players simply miss. This argument will go on until James wins an NBA title. One thing is for sure – According to an SI, which asked 137 NBA players who they would choose first to build a team around, LeBron James is the number one choice.

  • NBA Single Game Records And Breaking Them

    Wilt Chamberlain isn’t the only record holder of NBA single game achievements, as hard as it is to believe. A mediocre point guard like Scott Skiles (and mediocre head coach as well) is also in the record books with 30 assists in one game.

  • Best Euro Nations Since 1992
