The landscape of the Eastern Conference has slowly changed recently. The last few seasons all everyone wanted to talk about is how weak the Eastern conference was, how all of the dominant teams were in the West. Thanks to the Kevin Garnet/Ray Allen trades in 2007 the Celtics were able to upset that trend, although that happened it on temporarily tilted the balance. Their chance at winning multiple championships is severely limited because of their aging roster. They may have another run left in... [Read more]

Tracy McGrady is 31 and has agreed to play for the Pistons this season for a relatively low salary. He’s being brought in at the paltry NBA veteran’s minimum of $1.35 million. There’s still magic in the McGrady name in NBA circles. His fan base is still strong. To many, McGrady is just one good rehab curriculum away from returning to greatness. The Pistons signed McGrady for his name recognition and his potential to pull people into the Palace on a snowy night in January when the Memphis... [Read more]

Lebron James has worked hard to shape his image over his seven years in the NBA; he has a publicly stated several times that he wants to be the first billionaire athlete. People refer to him as “The King” because of his last name and the fact that some believe he is the best player in the NBA. Lebron has been very careful to keep his private life out of the limelight, which is relatively easy to do when you play for the Cleveland Cavaliers. There is now a new reality for James one that he... [Read more]

In an unthinkable turn of events Chris Paul seems to be very close to leaving the New Orleans Hornets, Paul is their franchise player and really one of the only stars on that team. Paul is trying to get with other NBA stars and create a “super team” much like Lebron, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh did in Miami. This is yet another reason I am not a fan of “The Decision”, Paul has apparently let New Orleans ownership and front office brass know that now is the time to work... [Read more]

Many have eagerly waited for the new season of Pros vs. Joes to debut, the first episode this season was a special one. Rather than having three unknown Joes they had NFL players as Joes playing against NBA Pros, whoever thought of the idea is a genius. The teams were Donovan McNabb, Antonio Gates, and Terrell Owens for the Joe team, and Rick Fox, Kenny Smith, and Hakeem Olajuwon for the Pros team. The first contest that was up was called “Cut Throat” where they went 1 on 1 against each... [Read more]

Even though the NBA season is over the league has still very much been in the news because of the Free Agency Period. The only difference this season is that several of the best players in the NBA are available as free agents, and several others opted out of the last year of their contracts. Many teams who have these players opting out and being free agents have to scramble and do whatever they can to keep their star players. The recently reported contract offer by the Atlanta Hawks to Joe... [Read more]

There have been man recurring themes lately dealing with famous people going broke, from the average persons point of view they are not able to comprehend or understand why this happens. If people analyzed their own personal lives it would be very easy to see how this can happen, typically when a normal person gets a raise or increase in income they adjust their lives to this new income level. For pro athletes actors and actresses it is no different there is just more money available to them... [Read more]

The NBA Finals tip off tonight, and unless you have been hiding under a rock you should know that the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics are squaring off again to determine the NBA’s best team. I am not as excited about this matchup as everyone else seems to be, I am sure the series will be good, but some variety in the Finals would be nice. I believe Boston has the better all-around team because of a how deep their bench is, the Celtics can rely on their bench to be productive more often... [Read more]

Many people did not know anything about South Florida Bulls guard Dominique Jones before coming into this season, but by the end of the year not only did everyone at USF know him, the entire Big East knew what kind of player he was. Jones is projected as a late first round pick in the upcoming NBA Draft, and before the start of this season that was not the case by any means. Jones took the Big East by storm, and as a result of his great season he chose to leave the Bulls after his Junior year... [Read more]
