LeBron James has lost his chance to three-peat as regular season MVP.  Since the regular season MVP award is basically only considered in the annals of "Greatest Player Ever" discussions and Hall of Fame voting, and since LeBron already has the latter locked down and just signed his way out of the former, his MVP chances are effectively dead.  The NBA Most Valuable Player Award is an honor given to the most ...

This inaugural edition of The Kool-Aid will address the controversy of comparing LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jordan.  Future editions of The Kool-Aid will attempt to discuss other hotly debated issues in sports with one man's take.  Questions or comments should be sent via e-mail to koolaidQandA@gmail.com . Ah, Michael, Kobe, LeBron.  This topic has received more punishment than the poor fax-machine/printer from Office Space, but I have to get ...

This edition of the NBA Power Rankings involves a five-way Mexican standoff for No. 1. The NBA has never been this divided in terms of talent, and the top four teams from each conference are all in talks of championship contention.

I am merely someone who has read more about him, watched more of his game footage and his interviews in the ...

Call Reggie Miller flabbergasted. Not only did the Lakers get their second loss 8 games into the season, but Reggie's beloved Bruins lost to Cal State Fullerton last night in a double overtime heartbreaker. I wasn't aware Cal State Fullerton even had a basketball team, much less a gym. Call me flabbergasted. The Atlanta Hawks are on top of the NBA world, and by jove, their ...

Although none of us (including Lebron) know what jersey LeBron James will be wearing next season, we know what number he WON'T be wearing.á In a post-game interview with Craig Sager, LeBron James extolled Michael Jordan's legacy and announced multiple times that he will not be wearing the No. 23 next season, and went onto say, "I don't think anyone in the NBA should be wearing the No. 23."á It ...

Well it's hereùthe morning after opening night.á Let the predictions fly!á I'm here grounded in reality.á The only thing more absurd than attempting to predict an MVP when half the NBA hasn't so much as played a regular season game is to predict the record of a single team.á Instead, we'll just let it play out, shall we?á I'm here to address a more immediate concern: Reggie Miller predicting the Lakers ...
