Armon Johnson, 6'4", 200 lbs, G, Nevada The 6'4" Chicago native hasn't drawn a lot of publicity because of a late transition to the point guard role. Early on, he was known to have a score-first mentality, where such capabilities afforded the 21-year-old bragging rights over his high school nemesis and college teammate, Luke Babbitt, for all-time scorers place, which was held by Babbitt the year previous. Armon ...

The Atlanta Hawks have their new man and they didn’t have to search too far. Mike Woodson’s former assistant coach 52-year old Larry Drew will take over and be the next head coach of the Atlanta Hawks.

This marks another installment in "If They Drafted Somebody Else" series. A couple of days ago, I did Shawne Williams. Today is somebody else. Let’s begin. In the 2000 NBA Draft the Indiana Pacers selected Primoz Brezec as the 27th overall pick of the draft. Brezec was a star center from Slovenia and looked to be an important player for the Indiana Pacers. At the time, European ...

"My heart don't pump Kool-Aid." That was a popular phrase in my youth, which was used by peers when courage needed to be summoned in order to complete a task, and it was as much a battle-cry as a statement. Kool-Aid coursing through a person's heart was a sign of cowardice, and in order to prove your worthiness one had to exhibit that the only fluid that ran through their heart was ...

ESPN has dredged up the obvious and long-standing rumor that the New Orleans Hornets would like to get out from under the contracts of Emeka Okafor, James Posey, and/or Peja Stojalovic. And as New Orleans is a small market team that will be in the luxury tax again next season, it probably wasn’t all that hard to find an NBA executive that would agree that this ...

I wasn't to happy to see that Canada's national basketball team is ranked 19th in the world. I thought with our NBA talents we'd be near the top of the list. Then I remembered watching FIBA World Championship and Canada was awful. I looked up the teams roster and was unfamiliar with all the players except 2 ,Joel Anthony and Andy Rautins. Just to make sure I wasn't ...

The most anticipated free agency period in the NBA is about to begin. Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudamire, and Joe Johnson are all in line for max deals. The big prize however is LeBron James. James has that rare blend of franchise making talent and marketability that can take a sub-par pretender to championship contender. Only LeBron knows where he will wind up playing. If he goes to the Knicks, ...

It has become apparent that there isn't that much difference in the talent level in the Finals this year.  Both teams have sustained losses on their home-court that would have made cowards of lesser teams. The way that both benches have stepped up in Games 3 and 4 show how the coaches are able to adjust to any scenario.   They are the top two defensive teams in the league and it has shown ...

Hello, folks, and welcome to today's NBA Rumor Mill! Not many rumors today but they are still good enough to qualify as a Rumor Mill article. Some of the rumors are pretty good, actually. If Tom Izzo goes to the Cleveland Cavaliers, there's a sneak peek of what his staff might look like. Also, will the Utah Jazz have a new uniform and logo? Will New Orleans Hornets' point guard Darren ...

There as a been a lot of talk among fans of the Toronto Raptors; since the end of last years playoffs, that Chris Bosh might possibly leave the Raptors organization after this season when his contract has expired.  Well the time has finally come, and Bosh is now officially a free agent, and whether or not he stays or leaves could possibly be the most important off-season in the franchise's ...
