There was a discussion not too long ago about who would win if the original Dream Team and the Redeem Team played each other. To me, that question is irrelevant - not because the talk is academic, but because I have no doubt that the Dream Team would win. They wouldn't necessarily win in a runaway,   more...

When you attempt a lot of threes, your FG% usually pays the price. This is especially true in fantasy hoops, which is why I created the 1+ Three, 47% FG club. In '07-08, only 13 players made the cut. The year before, there were only 12. To qualify, a player must play in 40+ games, average 1+ three,   more...

Chris Paul is for real. He lead the New Orleans Hornets from no playoffs the year before to the 2 spot in the highly competitive West. He's extremely dangerous to other teams when it comes to decison making. From pulling up for a jumper, to driving in the lane to dishing it back out to an open   more...

I am on the Kobe side, as he is my favorite player and has been for as long as I can remember. He's on the LeBron side obviously. Now Corey isn't the most   more...

United States (GOLD)-Kobe Bryant took over. Props to my friend Dave for telling me last weekend that Kobe wouldn't let Team USA lose the gold medal. I kind of dismissed that idea because A) I didn't think the U.S. would ever be in a tight spot like Spain put them in, and B) I thought Kobe's defense   more...

Have you watched any of the Team USA basketball Olympics prelim games? One thing is for sure: if Jason Kidd plays enough minutes, USA will not win Gold. He is so slow that Mark Cuban is running towards the Cubs to disguise his disgust with last year's "I'm so desperate" trade.

This was supposed to be the toughest test for the United States yet. Spain, the defending world champions, with its mix of discipline and creativity, was supposed to be a tough challenge, but the game was anything but. With its hot three-point shooting and hounding defense, the US jumped to an   more...
