Much like Carlos Boozer, Rudy Gay stands to make a lot of money this year because of someone else. It doesn't really matter that the chances of a LeBron James or Dwyane Wade departure seem to fluctuate like the tide; whether these icons move or not, they are setting the table for those players who might be the headliners in any other offseason. Rudy Gay is a bit of a value enigma for this ...

Tim Duncan hit another three-pointer. This one didn't break any hearts. It just prolonged a 110-102 final result no one could have anticipated seven months ago. Then, Phoenix Suns GM Steve Kerr put the finishing touches on a confusing off-season that seemed to confirm his roster management ineptitude. The Suns up 2-0 on the San Antonio Spurs in the playoffs? Pigs will do more than fly this week. They'll also walk on the moon. When the Suns ...

This needs to be discussed before lottery day. On everyone's draft board, there are two franchise caliber players that are supposed to go one and two, John Wall and Evan Turner. John Wall is a point guard, a supreme athlete with ridiculous upside, and certain intangibles unseen in an 19 year old. Evan Turner is a true leader, shot creater in every facet of the game, with all intangibles that could one day ...

Unlike recent years, the 2010 NBA draft’s International prospect class isn’t a top-heavy group with a handful of players going in the first round—if not the lottery.

The 2010 NBA Playoffs continue on Wednesday night but only one of the four series hits the floor tonight. The San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns take center stage tonight in Game 2 of their series. The Spurs will look to even the series when they hit the hardwood at U.S. Airways Center. The Spurs dropped Game 1 which was a running affair just like the ...

It was the right move for the Chicago Bulls to relinquish Vinny Del Negro of his coaching duties. Del Negro just could not cut it during his brief two-year stint. He was strategically  overmatched on many nights by his contemporaries, failed to consistently place his players in a position to succeed, and had a difficult time making in-game adjustments. Something one would expect from someone learning ...

It was all the way back in January, when I had an interesting idea for an article. It was called "The Cast of The Jersey Shore Gets You Caught Up On The College Basketball Season ." And it was one of my favorite things I've ever written. The premise was simple: How did all our favorite guido's and guidette's from down on the shore compare to the elite in ...

It looks like LeBron and the Cavaliers partied a little too hard after his MVP ceremony yesterday in Akron. The Cleveland Cavaliers were out-hustled, out-manned, and out-played by the Boston Celtics in game two of the best of seven series.

Rondo dished out 19 assists, while Wallace hit three three-pointers en ...
