When former Laker Shaquille O’Neal left Los Angeles for Miami, his well-publicized feud with Kobe Bryant has been made an ultimate attraction for the NBA; such that, it has become a tradition that the Lakers should meet the Heat of Miami on a Christmas Day showdown. This will be the third year that they will […]

Tracy McGrady has already missed his seventh straight game due to back spasms. But they are still in the thick of the fight in the highly competitive Western Conference. Thanks to the stellar play of Yao Ming.
But earlier today, in their game against the Los Angeles Clippers, Yao fell to the floor six minutes into […]

After putting an end to the Dallas Mavericks’ 11-game winning streak, the Washington Wizards were at it again! They concluded the Phoenix Suns’ 15-game winning streak, the longest in the NBA this season, and in the process, anointing themselves as the biggest streak-busters in the league.

Gilbert Arenas played his second-best game this season (after […]

Reports have stated that Philadelphia 76ers fans are hoping that Philly loose some more and be at the bottom of the standings at the end of the season to get a crack at next year’s top draft pick. Well, currently, they are at the bottom at 5-19 (just above the Charlotte Bobcats who are at […]

It is very much probable for Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash to get another MVP plum this season. The guy’s just playing so great, and is having a career year in scoring. He is averaging a team-leading 19.8 points and a league-leading 11.4 assists (for the third straight season ever since he returned to Phoenix). […]

It’s official! The Philadelphia 76ers dealt All-star guard Allen Iverson to the Denver Nuggets for Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and two 2007 draft picks.
I believe this is a good deal for both teams. Philadelphia gets the load off their salary cap with Iverson’s heavy 20-million dollar contract out of their concern. Plus they bring in […]

I entice everyone to watch “Fantasy Hoops” at Basketball TV, especially for those guys who are involved in Yahoo Fantasy NBA. And only if Rick Kamla is hosting the show. The dude is just so full of spirit and so knowledgeable. He makes suggestions with conviction, and ridicules anyone who asks stupid questions.
For my high […]

Ever since his rookie year, Kobe Bryant has already been compared to His Airness, Michael Jordan. A lot of hype has been going on on searching for the next Jordan. There’s Bryant, New Jersey’s Vince Carter, Houston’s Tracy McGrady, Cleveland’s Lebron James and Miami’s Dwyane Wade.
But in my opinion, none of them deserves to be […]

I just love watching Earl Boykins go up and down the floor. In a game where most guards are over six feet, the diminutive Boykins has excelled. He has proven, yet once again, that little guys have what it takes to make it and even stay in the NBA.
The 5-5 Denver Nuggets guard was amazing […]

The Utah Jazz are leading the NBA with a 15-5 record. They did not make the playoffs last year, but they ended last season in a high note going 7-3 in April. They ended the season at .500 in a very competitive Western Conference. If they were in the East, they could have made the […]
