Not much can be said about the Warriors in recent years. But there has been great players that came out of the Golden State Warriors. Chris Mullin is one of them. Through out his career he was outshined by other players because he was not flashy and rarely dunked the basketball. He was known...

Do you remember the BAD BOYS of the 80s. I do. Led by Isaiah Thomas. He, Bill Lambeer, and Dennis Rodman, were world champions in the 80s and brought hadcore knock down basketball to the NBA. Hence the reason for the name, BAD BOYS. Their rivalry with the Chicago Bulls led by Michael Jordan...

Dominique Wilkins could arguable be the best player to play for the Atlanta Hawks. He was well known for his powerful slam dunks that brought excitement in the NBA during the Michael Jordan era. He's a former slam dunk Champion.

Two name come to mind when it come to the greatest Celtic player of all time. Larry Bird and Bill Russell. I would chose Larry Bird over Bill Russell because I did watch Birds games live while Russell games were before my time. But I do recognize Bill Russell's achievement especially during...

The Pacer organization has been around for 20 plus years now, and player have come and gone. Who in your opinion has been the best player to play for the organization? My vote is for Reggie Miller. Pure shooter with an ugly release and a lot of attitude. You remember that scuffle he had with...

The NBA did have financial problems in it's early existence. In fact it never started making decent money until well into 20 years into existence. Grooming a professional will not lead to success overnight. But the WNBA needs players that will bring excitement and drama to the game. Good...

I do hope they can win the whole thing without him. The backlash is going to be great!!! "We didn't need him to win"!! I can hear it now, if it happens.

I'm still on the fences about Kobe Bryant. He showed a lot of brilliance during his tenure with the Lakers. Last few season he's been hampered with injuries. One can only wonder if he will ever be at the form he was when the Lakers were dominant. How many years do you see left with?

I've been watching Tim Duncan since he was playing at Wake Forest Back in the Mid 90s. I remember because we're the same age. He was a professional and a gentleman all the time and it has led him to a successful NBA career. Now at 38 years old, he still scoring and performing well. How long...

Twenty years ago it was Nike #1 and Reebok was #2. Then there was everyone else that fought over the left over market shares. Now adidas is up there. After years of running the dirt trails I am left with really bad shin splints. The only type of shoes that is make working out bearable is...

So Lin and Kobe scored 21 points each in their first win of the season. With that being said, Do you think Lni will rise as the go to guy and main scorer for the Lakers? Franchise player perhaps?

It has been long known that Foreign born NBA players are known to have good fundamentals and excellent shooters. When was the last time you've seen a brute force player like Shaquille Oneal come out from a foreign country? Is he soft? Perhaps. But I would like to think that he has other...

The upside to all of this is that once Bryant, Gasol, and Nash retire, that will leave some decent cap room to acquire some talent. I was hoping for good things with all of the moves the Lakers have done in the past 4 years, but nada. Injuries have plagued them and some people should just...

What are your thoughts of high school athletes and college undergraduates entering the draft early? I understand the pressure of living below your means and wanting a better future for yourself and your fmaily. If I was 18 and there was a chance to make several million my first year as a...

We'll see what happens as the season progresses and the players start to mesh more. It's going to take time. Champoinship squads don't happen overnight. Lots of hype follows Lebron James. We'll see if anyone else can contribute.

It's no secret that shoe sales are big business in the basketball industry. I remember when the first Air Jordans came out, they were over $100 usd. Back then that was a lot. Prices still haven't come down. I remember Olajuwon actually had a deal with Spalding to release a very affordable...

When I first that the Lakers had acquired his services I thought it was a big plus in my book. But it never showed on the court. Was it because the chemistry wasn't there? It was it always the back? His better years are behind him, we all know that. Kobe isn't fairing very well either. I...
