Over on Idea Offer, there was an idea request that asked the question, “Who is the greatest sports coach of all time ?“ With such a broad arena to choose from, you can expect a wide array of answers.  Professional, amateur, winter, summer, team, individual — the options are almost limitless.

It has been twenty years since Charles Barkley so infamously and accurately declared, “I am not a role model”.  Now Gilbert Arenas is the latest professional athlete to demonstrate beyond any doubt that he is, in fact, not a role model.  By pulling a gun on a teammate over an alleged gambling debt, Arenas has [...]

As you may know, the Chicago Bulls took Derrick Rose with the first pick in this year’s NBA Draft. Chicago has an obvious need for a scoring big man, but their guard play has been inconsistent as well. Kirk Hinrich struggled severely last year and looks to be possible trade bait. Ben Gordon, although a [...]

I do not think there has been a season in the NBA where a conference was as wild as it was this year in the West. The entire season teams were moving up and down the standings. Luckily for us, the regular season has ended, and the “real” season has begun. [...]

No. 1 Boston will face No. 8 Atlanta – Boston wins in 5 games

No. 2 [...]

Well I have to admit that I totally missed on my picks for the semi-finals. Although the Memphis win was not a complete shocker, the Kansas win was. Especially the way they got out to such a big lead and eventually pulled away.
