Power forward Amar’e Stoudemire will sign a contract with the New York Knicks worth $100 million over the next five years, a ridiculously lucrative deal. Star guard Joe Johnson signed a $119 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks as well, and many more triple-figure deals will be inked by this summer’s top free-agents in the days and weeks to come. It appears as if LebBron James will return to Cleveland. At least ...

  With the Knicks recent signing of Amar’e Stoudemire, they just made this free agency period more interesting. The Knicks now have a recruiting tool in Amar’e Stoudemire, and are very alive in the LeBron James sweepstakes. The Knicks, however, could also end up with the other big name in this class, Dwyane Wade. It is complicated but there is a very likely possibility that the Knicks will end up with ...

If I'm the Bulls, and it becomes a choice of having Dwyane Wade and a star complementary player like Chris Bosh or simply signing LeBron James only, this would be an easy decision. Give me Wade and Bosh over LeBron any day of the week. Sure, James has more star power. And yes, he has more talent than anyone in basketball. But in the NBA, you need more than one star player to ...

This summer has been the most heavily anticipated summer in NBA history. the cream off the crop of NBA superstars are peddling themselves before the end of the CBA (collective Bargaining Agreement) next season.   As of this writing the players union has given the NBA a proposal for a new CBA. Teams have been clearing cap space for the last three years hence making this the Summer of Lebron.  Players like Dywane Wade, ...

Here is my second article in this series. In my first article, I posted a battle between LeBron James and Kobe Bryant. If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do and place your opinions here. I know that this topic isn't as heavily argued about compared to LeBron and Kobe, but this is the battle for the second best small forward in the league. Let's start with Carmelo: 2010 Stats 28.2 ...

From the opening minute, there was no doubt it was going to be a good night for Patrick Mills.  For the Argentineans, it looked like it was going to be a long one. Second-year Portland Trailblazer Patrick Mills dominated while leading his native Australia to a 90-72 victory over the world’s No. 1 ranked team, Argentina, in the final game of their three-match series. Mills was dominant from the outset, setting ...

LeBron James' upbringing in the impoverished neighborhoods of Akron, Ohio,  is well-documented. And his triumph over adversity is admirable.   But has LeBron, 25, ever really worked in his life?   Before signing on to become the first billionaire athlete, perhaps King James should take a year sabbatical and get out and experience the jobs the hard-working serfs of his kingdom do everyday.   Perhaps LeBron should become…   Host of the Tonight Show Stock ...

Among the stories that have floated around the NBA since the early dismissal of the Cleveland Cavaliers is the status of future Hall-of-Famer Shaquille O'Neal, and how he has eluded the headlines. Shaq is arguably the most physically dominating force that the NBA has seen since Wilt Chamberlain.  What's better, is the amount of championship medal that he sports. Though some would say the original basketball "Man of Steel" has shown ...

  The 76ers opened their Summer League campaign with an 84-74 win over Derrick Favors and the Nets.  It was an impressive performance by the 76ers, running the floor well, and showing overall domination against the Nets.  The 76ers squad, led by PG Jrue Holliday, struggled from the field, only shooting 41.7%, while shooting 30% from three-point range.  Even though their shooting wasn’t outstanding, the 76ers ...

Knicks have officially agreed upon a free agent agreement with Amare Stoudemire on a contract worth almost 100million for 5 years. My guess is that the Knicks must know whether LeBron's choice is NY or other cities that recruited him.  I believe they have a strong reason to think James is coming to New York.  Here's my reasoning. Reports have been saying that Knicks had made progress with Amare and the deal was on the table. It was, however, ...
