  • Top Five Small Forwards in the NBA, Going Into 2011-2012

    LeBron James didn’t win the MVP last season, but he should have. He’s the most talented player in his position, and the league, joined by Kevin Durant, the favorite to win the MVP and maybe even the NBA title this season, and Granger, Rudy Gay and Carmelo Anthony as the five best Small Forwards to play in the NBA in 2011-2012.

  • Kevin Durant Makes Street Ball Interesting While David Stern Gets Angry

    Kevin Durant scored 66 point. John Lucas III scores 60 the day after, while Durant scored 41 points. Who cares?!!!
