Hindsight is 20/20. NBA fans will always look at the greatest what ifs in history. "What if Len Bias never died?" "What if Tim Duncan went to Orlando?" "What if Portland took Durant over Oden?" Well, I have another one. This one isin't as bad as the three I mentioned. The Orlando Magic are currently looking to sweep the Atlanta Hawks and move on to their second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals. With players ...

Just for kicks and old times sake, George Hill should put Steve Nash's groin on watch. He should stand under Amar'e Stoudemire while he dunks and make him think twice about how he lands. Maybe for one night, the Spurs can do what they used to against the Suns— get them to complain about the officials, out-execute them in crunch time, and strike first when it comes to hard fouls and snaring ...

Let the debate begin. On Friday, Butler star sophomore forward, Gordon Hayward, officially made the announcement that he has chosen to stay in this year's NBA Draft. The decision comes one month after Hayward helped lead his Butler squad to an improbable NCAA Tournament run that left the Bulldogs just one bounce away from a National Championship. It was a six-game stretch where we saw the young Indiana native turn in great performance after great performance, ...

One of the most exhilarating finishes in this young 2010 NBA Playoffs came in Game Three of the Lakers-Jazz series. It was a game in which the biggest stars shined brightest, complemented by some heroics from a relative unknown. Of course, a good deal of the game was dominated by none other than Kobe Bryant, who led the way for the Lakers with 35 points and seven assists. For Utah, ...

I suppose I could start this article with why LeBron James is such a great basketball player, however, that is not the point of this article. Rather the point of this article is this: That while 99 percent of the time it is “premature” to compare a young athlete who still may have much of his career ahead of him to the all-time greats, it is okay in rare circumstances ...

You know, there is this part of me that wishes that the Atlanta Hawks had lost to the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round. That way, I wouldn’t have to be toyed with by them and the Orlando Magic now. All I hear on TV, mostly on ESPN, is how the Hawks are an AAU team. Not that I am upset with ESPN or anything because it’s true. With the way that ...

The Phoenix Suns have been ridiculed for the past few years. They have never been considered serious since they always lose. They always come close, but never make it. With such a squad they had last year, people mocked Phoenix. They were unable to make the postseason with such an advanced squad. The squad is still advanced, and now, there is definitely no more mocking. The Suns began the first round with ...

More rumors for today in the NBA Rumor Mill. With a lot of playoff series getting closer to ending, especially with sweeps, it could affect a lot of the players, coaches, etc. There's already rumors of players like Joe Johnson, Michael Beasley, and Tony Parker on the move. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers are still in the midst of finding a new head coach. Read on to find out more rumors coming ...

We didn’t really learn anything new about Orlando in this game because Atlanta has yet to seriously test the Magic. You know it’s bad when I find myself flipping between the PGA Championship and the NBA playoffs. The Magic continued to prove that they are a serious contender, and maybe even the favorite, to become the 2010 NBA champions. At the very least, they are certainly playing the best ball ...

The NBA's obsession for star power has compromised the position of role players. At the risk of sounding a bit audacious, I must say that now more than ever I miss the good ol’ days of the NBA. Coming from a basketball fan that never lived to see Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, George Gervin, or Dr. J play, this assertion sizzles with irony, but the past 10 years of basketball feel ...
