Yea, that's kind of the difficult part when talking about all-time greats is it's physically impossible to have been able to see everyone play unless you're getting up there in age. But I don't think it's necessarily wrong to go by stats, reports, and expert accounts of guys like Russel and Wilt...

Personally, I think they're well-geared for a big run with or without Rose with the emergence of Jimmy Butler becoming a star player. The kid is a legit 2-way presence and looks more than ready to take the reigns of the SG position for years to come. So if you approach Chicago's offensive...

The big issue was D'antoni refused to use him correctly. He tried using Pau as a stretch big and just kept him out on the perimeter to shoot jumpers and didn't run the offense through him; where Pau excells greatly. That's what the Bulls are doing this year. They're giving Pau the ball in the...

All I can say is wow. Guy who essentially gets close to max money gets released a year later and the Pistons are on the hook for paying him 14+Mil a year for the next 2 seasons after this one. I found it really surprising that they'd just flat out release him and not get anything for him in...

The Sacramento Kings have been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this season and seemed to be on the right track to becoming a playoff team. They had an absolutely brutal November schedule against a gauntlet of Western Conference playoff teams and came out of it with a 9-5 record. But with...

Now this is easily the best discussion of the "greatest ever" for positions. Side-note, I wouldn't include Duncan as a C, but a PF since that's where he played a majority of his prime. IMO, there are only 5 guys who are in the discussion: Kareem, Shaq, Wilt, Hakeem and Russell. What makes it...

Absolutely. And you're seeing the struggles a bit early in this season with getting Kyrie-Bron-Love all on the same page, but you also see the tremendous potential that team has when they're firing on all cylinders. The Heat went through the same stuff in their first season with the big 3. At...

I'm not sure if anyone saw the Kings-Memphis game where Courtney Lee scored with a tip in with 0.3 seconds left, but there has been a lot of footage on twitter looking at the frames that saw the clock hadn't started when he touched the ball to tip it in. My question is do you think the NBA...

I think they have a better chance with the OKC Thunder severely hampered by injuries, but man, the Western Conference somehow looks even better this season than it did last. Virtually every team in the conference outside of the Lakers and Jazz look like they could be a playoff team. As far as...

Agreed with Maxeem. It's not really Lin's fault that he's paired with probably one of the worst back-court mates in the league for his game in another ball-dominant guy with Kobe. Also, that Lakers roster is just a mess of mis-matched parts. Even if Lin was NYK Lin, that team would still be 1-8...

What the 1 year of college HAS done though is prevent these kids from busting as a high school kid coming into the NBA. Think about how raw guys like Andrew Wiggins are this year. And with all the hype Wiggins got out of High School, how would he have been able to handle that pressure of the...

I actually think resigning Carmelo was a mistake. Had they let Melo walk, they would have had a top 5 pick (still might), and over 40 mil in cap space to build around next season. And while Melo does get more of a bad rap for not winning in the playoffs than he really should, I think it's going...

Well, the first thing to do is get Westbrook and Durant back on the court and healthy! That would probably be a good start to them winning a title. But the biggest thing I think is getting a legit 3rd weapon that can limit the tremendous reliance OKC has on Durant and Westbrook to win games. I...

Every year, there always seems to be a team that far exceeds expectations. Last year, it was Phoenix and the Blazers who significantly improved their records in a brutal western conference. This year, I think the early surprise team as been the Sacramento Kings. Even though they're in the...

I don't have a problem with the one year system as it at least encourages young kids to go to school and get SOME sort of an education, even if it is just for one year. And some guys, like Willie-Cauley Stein from Kentucky, love going to school so much that they're willing to delay their entry...

Taking the opposite approach here: It's not really debatable at all. The much better question is who is the #2 player ever as you reasonably could make arguments for about 7 or 8 different players in that spot. But the top spot is unequivocally Jordan's spot. There just hasn't been anyone to...
