On the assumption that Dwight has enough talent, it seems his heart is what may be holding him back. It seems there are far too many other things in the way. Like fun. How important is it that he has fun? How does that weigh in on the road to a ring? Kobe hardly smiles, even while he was...

I agree with your assessment that Rondo is too moody to become THE franchise player. However, he is still the centerpiece around whom the team will be constructed. I think it's a pretty sensitive and tricky deal but if management properly supports the new coach, I think a lot of progress can be...

Most succesful athletes start their sport early - as a kid. Therefore, it did not start out as a career but as an activity to be enjoyed. I think white guys - Caucasians should continue playing a sport they love. Euros are developing into good ball players and are increasingly turned to by NBA...

In my humble opinion, experience will have a slight edge over athleticism. I dont believe there is such a thing as team athleticism but there is definitely team experience. The assumption has to be made that most players who get to the NBA already has talent. Therefore, on-court wisdom, which is...

I wouldn't go as far as saying Manu was the cause of the loss. Last time I checked, basketball was a team sport. Adjustments in strategy and manpower could have been made by the coach as well as by the other players. I would have to say however that they needed Manu badly to at least make the...

Now that the business surrounding the moving out of Pierce and Garnett has concluded transactionally, what remains is the business surrounding Rajon Rondo with the proper pieces to move the Cs back into contender status. First in the order of business is the chemistry between the new coach and...

John Wall is a very good player. Having said that, I don't know if he can currently carry the status of a franchise player. A lot of reviews and popular opinion has described him to have only one speed - blazing. While it may be a good thing, the time will come - hopefully later than sooner -...

In my humble opinion, while D-Rose may prove to be a big thorn in the Heat's side, LeBron and company cut their teeth really well through two championships. Add to this the fact that there's a possibility - albeit small - that the addition of Greg Oden gives them a legitimate big man provided...

I think there's a big possibility he will play in the opener because it's what he said and so far he's kept his word - he's never said he'd be coming back any earlier. Also, he's had more than sufficient time to get ready, both physically and mentally. It makes good basketball sense to start...
