A player's legacy is determined by many things: championships or lack thereof, individual stats, and more. But two things are extremely overlooked in how well a player is remembered and how long his legacy will last: their name and number. Steve Nash won back to back MVP awards. Though right there he distinguishes himself into only a small group of Hall of Famers, no one's truly going to remember him because he ...

The Boston Celtics have managed to keep two of their major free agents in Paul Pierce and Doc Rivers.  Danny Ainge had maintained all along that Pierce and Rivers would be back in the fold and they were right. Doc did his customary end of season soul searching and got the thumbs up from his family to go for one more championship drive. The present climate in the NBA speaks of desperation; ...

New York, NY (WI-OH SportsNet) — Confirming prior suspicions and months of poorly-kept secrets and rumors, the New York Knicks recently announced their intentions to blow the NBA's 2010 offseason "bonanza" of free agency in any way possible. "Don't worry about it," Knicks team president of basketball operations Donnie Walsh told a group of reporters at an eagerly-anticipated "Disbelieve In 2010-11" media event this morning. "Whatever you weren't expecting us to achieve, we've ...

Amar'e Stoudemire worked the phones, and the text message wire, like a seasoned pro on Saturday night.  According to several sources, Stoudemire pitched the idea of a talented trifecta to All-Star regulars Carmelo Anthony and Tony Parker. Both Parker and Anthony will become free agents in 2011. Stoudemire, who has already met with Knicks management and plans to do so again on Monday, hopes to orchestrate an Anthony-Parker-Amar'e trio if he indeed signs with ...

  I recently read, "LeBron James Free Agency: If You Can't Beat Them, Don't Join Them" by Ros Dumlao. She presented a pretty good case for why LeBron may need to sign away from other big-name free agents to be considered the Greatest of All Time. I am writing this as an article, to extend my comment and to assert that playing with great players would not automatically be a detriment to the ...

In this day and age where loyalty to a franchise is quickly abandoned for the lure of the dollar, Dirk Nowitzki did something many players would not. Maverick fans weren't sure why Nowitzki would opt out of his contract with one year left worth $21.6 million. The only assumption was he was packing his bags and heading out a la Steve Nash. Not only did Nowitzki commit with the ...

According to Jason Goff, Host/Producer of 670 The Score, a D-Wade and Chris Bosh duo could be on the way in Chicago. Via http://twitter.com/jgoff670 , Jason stated "Sources are telling me Wade-Bosh package imminent in Chicago." I know it may seem like I'm reporting every rumor out there, but this may signify an important change within free agency. Dwyane Wade asked the Chicago Bulls for a first interview, supposedly was intrigued, then asked ...

Two key agreements occurred today. No, not LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, but Paul Pierce and Dirk Nowitzki reportedly agreed to contracts with the Celtics and Mavericks, respectively. Now here are a few things that Boston and Dallas have to do now that these agreements are settled. Both will return as key pieces to the success of their teams, but both the Mavericks and Celtics are missing other key pieces. ...

SB Nation is reporting that LeBron James was a big fan of "The Sopranos" when they were on the air. The show came to an abrupt halt and a black screen. The window was left open to thousands of possible endings. Did Tony die? Who were the other people in the diner? Onion Rings? But only one man was able to get a glimpse of how the show really ended. That man ...

Bryan Colangelo should be coming dangerously close to shooting down the circus we came to know as 2010 free agency period. Well Bryan, it is about time... Between tweets, dinners, covert meetings, people popping out of nowhere to pass out unfounded rumors, and worse yet, possible tempering, I don't think we would be able to look back after 10 years and find anything to be proud of. Toronto Raptors fans were initially ...
