Who says that LeBron James teaming up with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade will be a failure? There have been rumors of a "superteam" involving these three guys all playing together. And though it is unlikely to happen, if it were to occur, let's not automatically think of the 2004 USA Olympic Basketball team. Rather, consider the 2008 Boston Celtics. In 2007, the Celtics were coming off of a disastrous season. So what did ...

During the 1996-97 season, the Boston Celtics came up with a plan to land the top pick in the 1997 NBA Draft. The plan was to "tank the season," meaning they would lose as many games as possible in order to have an ideal chance at landing Wake Forest center Tim Duncan. The Celtics finished the season with the league's second-worst record (15-67), putting them in great position to obtain that ...

Chris Bosh has been the face of the Raptors franchise for 7 years now. Bosh always came to play, never complained and played his hardest. He made Raptors basketball entertaining to watch at the least. I will always remember him, and I would like to thank him for his work in Toronto.  But Toronto has also made him the player he is today. And with all this free agency hoopla, Bosh ...

The NBA Free Agency saga is going on its fourth day, and the world is buzzing as to where he will sign. Rumors had it that Lebron would make his decision on July 5th. But it's official: Lebron will make a decision this week, on Wednesday night to be exact. According to Brian Windhorst, writer for the Cleveland Plain Dealer via twitter, Lebron will make a decision on Thursday. "Sources say LeBron plans to ...

One of my favorite old "Sportscenter" segments was their "Fact or Fiction" segment where an NBA/NFL/MLB/etc. analyst would give you his opinion on a subjective matter as if it were truly fact or fiction. I enjoyed this segment because most of the time analysts gave wholly appropriate and logical reasoning behind their opinions. However, this segment also ran during the Sean Salisbury era so hearing his innate opinions ...

Last April, the New York Daily News reported that talks for point guard Tony Parker were going on between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Well, the talks and the rumors are starting to heat up again. The experts and the oddsmakers at Brobury Sports labeled the Knicks as long shots to land LeBron James, but that won't stop the Knicks from ...

Aside from winning ballgames, the New York City market demands more from its athletes. In fact, the athletes have a tendency to become more like celebrities, and how well they are perceived by the media is entirely up to them. The above notion, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why Amare Stoudemire is a great fit for the Knicks. By recruiting the league’s top free agents, the Knicks are obviously trying to improve their ...

On paper, the Minnesota Timberwolves have quite a bit going for them. They have a potentially strong core of good young players who, if given the chance to gel together over the next five or so years, could get the team close to the playoffs. And the team is in a good financial position. Even for a small-market team, their payroll is currently very manageable with only one salary over $5 million, ...

With the next season months away from even starting, I figured I would try to predict which teams make the 2011 Postseason. Some teams are going to cut players and some are going to gain players, but it's never too early to guess right? I'll probably make another one of these later when the season starts. So let's get started...Begin Slideshow
