  • LeBron James – Kevin Durant Sometimes Makes Him Jealous

    Once a season the comparison between LeBron James and Kevin Durant takes a different angle; not the titles, MVPs and legacy, but about numbers – point averages, number of shots and the overall focus for each player. Believe it or not, but it turns out LeBron can be jealous of Durant, at least in one aspect.

    LeBron James gave up on the final shot in the All-Star game, but his clutch shooting numbers haven’t been exactly stellar this season, so maybe he knew what he was doing. Shooting without anyone to restrain you, a-la Kobe Bryant, doesn’t always help your team, while having a Durant-Westbrook combo to share the load seems like the best idea.

  • Just How Bad Are the Charlotte Bobcats?

    From a playoff team in 2010, the Charlotte Bobcats made the opposite road that’s usually expected of a young expansion team finally making the postseason for the first time. Instead of solidifying and cementing its place as a playoff contender, things have taken a turn for the worst, and the Michael Jordan owned franchise is at a league worst 3-25.

  • The Lost Art of the Triple Double

    Rajon Rondo’s fantastic night against the Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls was only the sixth triple double this season by an NBA player, with Rondo going for 32 points, 10 rebounds and 15 assists.
