This year's free agent market is the biggest and most important ever. It may reshape the NBA as we know it, if everything goes as it is planned. Every single person in the nation, basketball fan or not, has an opinion to where most of the free agents will end up. I want to share mine. Keep in mind, the Knicks always seem to blow these opportunities. Begin Slideshow

Seven Things You Probably Don’t Know About the Atlanta Hawks

Posted: 18th May 2010 by Frank Gasper in NBA
Thanks to SLAM Magazine, I learned 7 things about the Atlanta Hawks I didn't know. 7 very interesting things. The Atlanta Hawks had a great season this year, but over free agency, they will probably lose Joe Johnson. When the Hawks work on defense and move the ball on offense, they can beat anybody in the NBA.Begin Slideshow

Many of the LeBron fans around the world call him "King James," or "Bron Bron" or something like that. Not me. I call him the "Akron Hammer," the nickname given to him by Sportsnation 's Michelle Beadle. The name fits perfectly. He was born in Akron, Ohio. Cleveland is not too far away from Akron. And every time he dunks, he bangs it in, like a hammer. Beadle's co-worker, Colin Cowherd, does not like ...
Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the Bulls firing coach Vinny Del Negro. I do not believe they should fire him. And for those of you who disagree with me, continue reading. First of all, look what he has done with this team. They started the year with basically four healthy players. Also, players have been getting hurt all year—Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and more. He has ...
Last night, the Chicago Bulls had a game against the worst team in the NBA, the New Jersey Nets. They had already lost to them this year, so I expected a close game. And a close game is what it was. The game did go on to double overtime, and during the second overtime I started thinking to myself, "Where the hell is Joakim Noah?!" The Bulls went on to lose the game in ...
LeBron James currently leads the league in scoring with an average of 29.8 points per game. He holds a slight edge over Kevin Durant, who trails by just a tenth of a point at 29.7 per game. But according to James, whether or not he finishes the season on top doesn't matter. What does matter, however, is that we are all aware that he could win the scoring title if ...

LeBron James Signing with the Los Angeles Lakers a Possibility?

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Frank Gasper in NBA
As I'm sure all of you know, LeBron James will be a free agent this summer, and many teams will be pursuing the young freak-of-nature. Most people think he will stay with Cleveland or go to the Knicks or somewhere like that. My question is, has anybody considered the Lakers? LeBron and Kobe on the same team, including Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, and that whole team, would be near impossible to stop. The Lakers ...

Show Some Hope for Bulls Fans: What If They Win the Draft Lottery?

Posted: 21st March 2010 by Frank Gasper in NBA
Picture this, the Chicago Bulls winning the NBA Draft Lottery even though everybody thought they had no chance to even be in the top five. Sound familiar? Two years ago the Bulls were projected to have about the tenth pick in the draft. They got extremely lucky and got the first pick, drafted Derrick Rose, and now he is their best player. As a twelve year-old sports fanatic, it will be like ...

Early NBA Draft Predictions: Lottery Picks: Who’s Number 1?

Posted: 21st March 2010 by Frank Gasper in NBA
This year's NBA Draft might be a very interesting one. As always, the main question is who will be the first pick? John Wall, Evan Turner, or maybe even somebody else could end up being the overall number one. I personally don't think there is much question to who will be number one, it all depends on what underclassmen come out for the draft. #1 New Jersey Nets: John Wall (PG)  ...
