With Game Six only hours away from liftoff, one question that most fans, analysts, and broadcasters have not brought about into discussion is who should be crowned the 2010 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player. Many would say that if Boston wins championship the MVP award will be handed to Rajon Rondo, and for the Lakers, if they miraculously win back-to-back games at home the award would undoubtedly go to Kobe Bryant.   Rajon ...

With the Celtics season on the line, it's not Rajon Rondo (for a change) who must come up big for Boston tonight in Game Four. It's not Ray Allen, who uplifted the C's to their only win in the series thus far with his astounding 32 point performance and record breaking eight three-pointers made. And it's not Kevin Garnett, who finally showed flashes of the old KG during Game Three. The man of the hour, starting at ...

LeBron James has had more pressure to win an NBA championship than any single athlete in the league. From the moment he first stepped foot onto the court he has been compared to the great Michael. This past season James entered his seventh year in the league, still ring-less. Analysts could not help but salivate over the fact that it took MJ seven long seasons before he finally won his first ...

Quite honestly, I'm sick of hearing that the Cavaliers are undoubtedly the best team in the NBA and have the best chances of winning the NBA championship. For starters, the Orlando Magic are the reigning Eastern Conference Champions. So if any team has the greatest chance of making it back to the NBA Finals, it's indeed Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic. Focusing on the second round of the playoffs and more ...

When Hedo Turkoglu parted ways with the Orlando Magic last offseason, many believed that the organization had made the wrong decision. Fast-forward a year later, and Orlando is once again one of the most powerful teams in the NBA, ending the regular season with their opponents shooting just 43.8 percent from the field, a league best. With a revamped and healthy roster, the Magic now have the experience, talent, and depth to ...

With the 2009-10 season approaching its final days, it's only a matter of time before the offseason signing bonanza kicks off. Will LeBron James remain faithful to his team? Even more enticing, what decisions will superstars Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and Amar'e Stoudemire make this offseason? Which teams will revamp their rosters and contend for a title for the first time in years while others begin to rebuild? Without further ado, ...

For the last month, every NBA fan and their mother has taken a negative shot at the Los Angeles Lakers, even diehard LA fans.  "They're vulnerable, they're not the same team as last year, Kobe Bryant is shooting only 21-for-70 during his last three contests, and without Andrew Bynum they can't win a championship." And during this last month, I have sat back and soaked in all the negativity that was being ...

With the NBA Playoffs quickly approaching, I answer 14 burning questions regarding how far teams will go in the postseason, who has the best chances of winning the NBA Finals, and what player deserves the Rookie of the Year Award, Most Improved Player Award, and what coach deserves the Coach of the Year Award.Begin Slideshow

After what has been nothing short of a spectacular season, it's time to present the top three young guns that have shattered expectations and simply out-performed their entire rookie draft class.   Brandon Jennings (PG, MIL) "That 18-year-old guard out of high-school that went to Europe for a year" really turned out to be a success story. After dropping a ridiculous 55 points against the Golden State Warriors in only his ...

In the month of March the Los Angeles Lakers went on a minor slump, being defeated by Miami, Charlotte, Orlando, Oklahoma City, New Orleans, and Atlanta. During that span they compiled their most losses this season during a one-month period, moreover they lost three straight games for the first time in two years. LA managed to average just 92.5 PPG during those six loses, relinquishing 102.6 PPG. In addition, every shooting statistic was ...
