One of the greatest and most competitive eras in the history of the National Basketball Association—the 60s were outstanding Back then, the league had 10 teams, and then it had 14 for very short time. Don't be fooled by the total number of teams in those times. The talent that was playing in that time was good, only the best played. To be part of the World's best basketball league, you had ...

Dear LeBron, My roommate and best friend (also known as ButteReport) and I often stay up late talking about anything—ranging from sports to finding bobcats in the backyard. Throughout the playoffs, he has made me love Kevin Garnett. Not by rooting for him or talking about him as the most dominant player in the Finals—he's not—but by showing me several examples as to how much heart the man has.  Although I am a ...

Amidst the annoying din of the Vuvuzelas and the frenetic start to the FIFA World Cup, it’s easy to forget that there’s still a ferocious battle going on across America, from its East coast to its West. I belong to that alienated group of people who felt that the 2010 NBA Finals would lack excitement, drama, and passion as well as all the other intangibles that a championship matchup usually brings ...

Kobe Bryant, who walked into the conference room flustered from another outraging defeat, sat gloomily in the midst of an elimination game answering the unassuming questions at postgame interviews sarcastically and angrily. Later, he emerged from the interview room speechless with a bitter stare then proceeded down the hallway and reflected on a 92-86 loss in Game Five of the NBA Finals. If there’s a petulant superstar irritated in an unpredictable ...

Ray Allen—or as many know him, Jesus Shuttlesworth—is currently playing in his second NBA Finals. Neither of the finals, of course, were with the Milwaukee Bucks. Like Kevin Garnett, he has become a fixture with the Celtics after previously being with another Midwestern team, just like Garnett was with the Timberwolves. Ray Allen is my favorite player in the league. I become frustrated every time he misses a jumper, feeling as ...

The Celtics won the last game in The Olde Towne and the series is now moving to glamurous L.A. for the last two games (or just the one if the Celtics win it), but before that here are some celebrities that attended last night's game.Begin Slideshow

It has now been a decade since the NBA has played a game in the Great Western Forum (now simply known as the Forum), but wouldn't it be something if Game Six and the possible Game Seven were in the Forum. I know, I know, this is not going to happen, but go with this possibility for a moment. It's the Lakers and the Celtics. The most storied rivalry in basketball history. ...

Now the old legs of the Boston Celtics head west. The “Big Three” will take tired bodies across country to meet the Los Angeles Lakers in a two game showdown. Yes, the Celtics threesome of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett will be worse for the wear come Tuesday night at Staples Center. Yes, the “Black Mamba” will return to his lair, fighting to hold claim to what's his. But none of ...

He's averaging less than eight points, just over four boards and just about two assists per game. They got him as a potential Lebron stopper, which is now even more laughable after watching Paul Pierce torch him all night in Game 5 for 27 points. On a franchise that has a history of magic, on the court and with the management, Ron Artest is the odd ball out, and rightfully so. In 1996 ...

The latest in an ongoing series covering the NBA Finals with actor/comedian Rondell Sheridan. Jose Salviati: Rondell, before today's game there was talk of sending Bynum back to L.A. to get ready for Games Six and maybe Seven. You think the Lakers regret not opting for that option? Rondell Sheridan:   No doubt, the Lakers should have sent Bynum back to LA and given him five days ...
