Six years ago, when Carmelo Anthony came into the league, I hoped he would one day become as dominant a player as Tracy McGrady. T-Mac was the best small forward in the league at the time, averaging 32 points 6.5 rebounds and a deadly 39 percent three-point shooting percentage and his size (6’8”) is almost identical to Anthony’s. And sure, it was wishful thinking to expect Melo to evolve into the ...

As the NBA regular season rolls on into its seventh week, the top tier of teams in the league continue to rise and create separation between themselves and the rest of the NBA. In order to be the champs, you have to beat the champs, and the LA Lakers are proving they are still best in the NBA. And before people can give the "best player" title to LeBron James, Kobe ...

As I watched Broncos-Chiefs game today on CBS, I saw repeated advertisements for the Tim Donaghy interview on 60 minutes tonight, but didn’t think much of it. After watching the interview, I was left wondering why 60 Minutes didn’t ask him about specific allegations he made about current and past NBA referees. Then, as I checked Denver Nuggets news, it turns out Donaghy not only helped fix a game that the Nuggets lost, he ...

Carmelo Anthony is the best player in the Western conference, at least for the first month of the season. The Nuggets small forward won Western Conference Player of the Month honors for October/November, which was announced mere hours ago on ESPNÆs Kia NBA Shootaround. Melo has been nothing but smooth in 2009ùhis shooting stroke seems sweeter than ever, his passing is on point, and his energy on ...

Today Benjamin Hochman reported that Anthony "Carter gets lost in bench shuffle " and that, "Now that J.R. Smith is back from suspension, the Nuggets normally play three guys off the benchùSmith, Lawson and Chris Andersen." Really, this is nothing new, as George Karl has played mostly with an eight-man rotation for the last couple of yearsùbut is the approach effective? Sure, the starters have to get their large amounts of minutesùthe ...

On Thanksgiving, there are many things to give thanks for; family, friends, health, and others. But for a sports fan, while those things are a given, there are many other reasons to be thankful as well. In Denver, where expectations of teams are a mile high, every professional sports franchise has surprised in the past year. And because of that, a fan only has to think for a few minutes to ...

The Denver Nuggets (9-4) sit slightly ahead of the surging Portland Trailblazers (10-5) atop the NBAÆs Northwest division. And while the Nuggets have been on top of the Northwest since the beginning of the season, the Trailblazers have won eight of their last 10 games and are right on DenverÆs heels. Luckily for the Nuggets, their next five games present a schedule as soft as velvet pillowsùmeaning if Denver can capitalize, ...

What team is deeper than the Nuggets at point guard? Nobody. Nil. Nada. That is, according to Denver head coach George Karl. ôWe have the best third point guard in the NBA,ö the wise old coach told The Denver Post Tuesday. With Anthony Carter returning from a strained hip injury, the same one that kept him out of four games last year, he gives Karl another option in the backcourt. But, it also takes ...

Today a report broke about perennial All-Star Allen Iverson looking for a new team, as heÆs not yet ready to quit playing the game he lovesùNBA basketball. The fact that A.I. still has the burn inside that makes him yearn for an ever elusive championship is not surprising. What is surprising is that the Denver Nuggets came up as one of the teams heÆd like to play for. Sure, Iverson said he ...
