  • Barack Obama = Miami Heat; Mitt Romney = Jeremy Lin

    In order to get people who know a lot more about the NBA than they do about politics, United States president Barack Obama released the following comparison: He compared himself to the NBA champions Miami Heat and his foe in the presendtial elections, Republican candidate Mitt Romney, to Jeremy Lin.

  • 7 Most Entertaining NBA Teams to Watch Next Season

    Predicting the NBA champion next season is probably picking between three, maybe four teams – The Miami Heat with LeBron James and Dwyane Wade; The Oklahoma City Thunder, with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook; The Los Angeles Lakers with Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol, and maybe even the San Antonio Spurs deserve a mention. But the most exciting team? Most worthwhile to watch teams? The Denver Nuggets, The Minnesota Timberwolves and the Los Angeles Clippers are also in the mix.

  • 10 Oldest Teams in the NBA

    People like to talk about old teams, but eight out of the NBA’s 10 oldest teams heading into the 2012-2013 season were in the postseason last spring, with the Miami Heat (second oldest), with only LeBron James and Chris Bosh under the age of 30 among the key players, finishing as the NBA champions. Dwight Howard is also the only major piece for the Lakers still in the third decade of his life.

  • Oklahoma City Thunder – Changes Needed to Beat the Miami Heat

    If you’d have to pick, right now, two NBA teams that are going to reach the 2013 NBA Finals, it would probably be the Oklahoma City Thunder from the West and the Miami Heat from the East. While the Thunder should run into a bit more opposition from the Lakers than they did last year but at the moment, most signs point to a repeat of the recent finals series.

  • LeBron James – Road To The 1st Ring

    A week after winning Olympic gold, LeBron James finally has some time to rest, and it gives a bit of an opportunity to look back at his road to his first NBA title, which began as the most coveted high school basketball talents, since, well, forever, onto his years with the Cavaliers and the painful (for Cavs fans) departure to the Miami Heat, and the two NBA finals with one sad and eventually, a happy ending.

  • Miami Heat – Even Better than the Championship Season?

    While LeBron James is clocking impossible triple doubles in the Olympic games (only second time it’s ever happened), the Miami Heat are slowly but surely getting ready for the new NBA Season, hopefully a third NBA final and in general a much better title defense campaign than the one from six years ago.

  • Ray Allen Left the Boston Celtics Because of Rajon Rondo and Doc Rivers

    It wasn’t just one thing that caused Ray Allen, after five years with the Boston Celtics, to sign with the Miami Heat during free agency, probably the Celtics’ biggest rivals over the last two years. A combination of being fed up with his relationship with Rajon Rondo and the rotation decision made by his head coach, Doc Rivers, made it an easier decision to leave.

  • NBA 2012-2013 Season – Heat vs Celtics as Marquee Opener

    There’s nothing better for the NBA’s opening night that A) starting it on time and not on Christmas and B) pitting together two big rivals. The Miami Heat, the NBA champions, needed 7 games and some LeBron James heroics to get past the Boston Celtics in the Eastern conference finals. Ray Allen’s first game against his former team will be another interesting feature to the key match-up of the NBA’s opening night.

  • NBA Free Agency 2012 – Jeremy Lin Disappointed With Knicks

    For once, not a lot has changed in the Dwight Howard situation except for the fact that the Orlando Magic are exploring other options besides the Nets-Clippers-Cavs mega deal. Meanwhile, Jeremy Lin, still waiting for the New York Knicks to match the offer from the Houston Rockets, is disappointed the team hasn’t moved to keep him quickly enough.

  • NBA Loyalty – It Doesn’t Exist

    Those of you who were surprised to see Steve Nash give up on a chance to end his career with the Phoenix Suns, instead opting to play for the Los Angeles Lakers for money and a better chance at at an NBA title were probably just as surprised as Ray Allen in Miami Heat uniform seems to be a done deal.
