  • Jeremy Lin & the All-Star Hopes That Still Exist

    Jeremy Lin & the All-Star Hopes That Still Exist

    Soon, Jeremy Lin will forget about his season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and his career will take him to a different team, with a new role and hopefully more playing time. Even the dream of becoming an All-Star someday isn’t completely gone. The road to that achievement just became longer due to the twists he’s had to endure.

  • Kobe Bryant – East All Star Team Kryptonite

    Kobe Bryant – East All Star Team Kryptonite

    It should have been quite obvious to everyone – Kobe Bryant not playing in the All-Star game (although he was voted to start) meant the West were going to lose, no matter how good the other players filling in for him were going to be.

    Most Points Scored in the NBA All-Star Game

    The 2014 NBA All-Star game will be the 63rd edition of the best exhibition event in North American sports, as a few players will try to join Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain as the only players with 40 points or more in the event.

    Houston Rockets – Jeremy Lin Will Finally Become an All Star

    Just because you don’t make the All-Star game, doesn’t mean you’re not one by ability and production. Jeremy Lin isn’t one of the best two or three point guards in the Western Conference, but his growth and improvement this summer, along with what the Houston Rockets are trying to do, should be enough to put him on the right path, at the right pace, en route to showing on a nightly basis that he deserves to be mentioned among the best of his position in the league.

    LeBron James Has Bigger Fish to Fry This NBA Season

    The All-Star game? A forgotten memory. When you’re the reigning NBA Champion, MVP and Finals’ MVP, not scoring in the fourth quarter of the All-Star game while getting blocked twice by Kobe Bryant seems meaningless and insignificant, especially when you’re LeBron James.
