This year, the NBA Rookie of the Year Award will most likely be handed to one of two exciting point guards: the Sacramento Kings' Tyreke Evans or the Golden State Warriors' Stephen Curry. Evans is trying to join Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James as the only rookies in history to average 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists per game, while Curry has already recorded a triple-double and ...

Who's the greatest point guard in NBA history? Most people would answer that question with Earvin "Magic" Johnson, while others might throw in names like Oscar Robertson and John Stockton. Everybody knows a thing or two about each of those Hall of Fame floor generals, but what about guys like Mark Price and Kevin Johnson? Unless you were an avid NBA fan in the late '80s to mid-'90s, you probably have never ...

Over 40 players have went from high school straight to the NBA in the past 50 years. Reggie Harding was the first to do so as he was drafted by the Detroit Pistons in 1962. Moses Malone, Darryl Dawkins, and Bill Willoughby entered the league in the 70s and later, future first-ballot Hall-of-Famers such as Kevin Garnett and Kobe Bryant arrived during the 90s. It's crazy to imagine an 18-year old playing ...

I'm not a fan of the Washington Wizards and haven't been since the mid-1990s when the team was led by Michigan Fab Five teammates Chris Webber and Juwan Howard. However, I'm extremely excited to see the Wizards finally decide to trade away most of their starting lineup for expiring contracts and go into full rebuilding mode. Within the past week, the Wizards have dealt Caron Butler, Antawn Jamison, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn ...

Scottie Pippen heard his name come up in several trade rumors throughout his seventeen-year NBA career in which he spent with the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, and Portland Trail Blazers. The rumors began in 1994 after Pippen refused to re-enter a playoff game against the New York Knicks because he was upset that Bulls coach Phil Jackson designed the last play of the game for Toni Kukoc. Rumors surrounding Pippen later came ...

When you think of the NBA in the 1980s, the first names that probably pop into your mind are Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Julius Erving. But one name that you might forget aboutùDominique Wilkins. Unlike those other guys, Wilkins never won a championship in the 80s and in fact, he never won a championship during his entire 15-year NBA career.á á However, 'Nique was truly special to watch whether he ...

The other day, I heard one of the most ridiculous statements ever: Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan. I couldn't believe it. Were they being serious or were they just trying to be funny? Evidently they were being serious since they didn't crack a smile. And believe me, I was waiting for them to bust out laughing, but nope, it never happened. Well, I guess everybody is entitled to their own opinion. It's crazy ...

NBA fans hate to hear that awful "r" word: rebuilding. That usually means their team has to trade stars or former stars for a combination of expiring contracts, future draft picks, and young prospects. Or maybe several aging players retire forcing the team to start over from scratch. One team that doesn't know very much about starting over is the San Antonio Spurs. David Robinson helped lead the team to two ...

Throughout NBA history, many general managers have made a boat load of stupid decisions. They've either drafted a bust, pulled the trigger on a foolish trade, or signed a player to a ridiculous cap-killing contract. á á Without further ado, here is the list of simply the 10 dumbest moves that have ever taken place in the NBA. á 10.
