Tweet of the Night went to Ty Lawson, who clearly wasn’t all too satisfied with his ESPN’s player rank of 48. It’s a good thing to have strong belief in yourself and expect to be ranked or thought to be better than what is being said about you. Lawson showed flashes of brilliance as a full-time starter – both in the regular and post season, so perhaps he deserves to be ranked higher. The whole ranking process can be

SH Blog: Jeremy Lin not ready to call himself a franchise player yet but wants to lead by example

by

Just a season ago, Jeremy Lin was sleeping on a couch because he couldn’t afford to rent a place of his own due to the uncertainty of his status as an NBA player. Although he still doesn’t mind crashing on couches from time to time, the cloud that surrounded his status as a fringe player is long gone. Lin stopped short of calling himself a franchise player on Tuesday, but it’s clear that he considers himself one of the leaders

Fantasy Spin: September 18, 2012

by

PF Tiers Power forward could be the deepest position in fantasy basketball if we didn’t play so many of them at center. I’ve taken a few liberties with PF-C to balance the positions. Al Horford, Chris Bosh and Kevin Garnett would definitely make this list much stronger, but as you’ll see tomorrow, the C tiers would be laughably shallow without them. Fantasy sports are popular because everyone has an opinion. My rankings are loosely based on stats — some owners choose to

The Other Dream Team was from Lithuania

by

// Sheridan at Vilnius University, Sept, 2011 In the United States, there is only one Dream Team. It was the 1992 Olympic Team. But here’s a little piece of trivia from someone old enough to remember. When Team USA played in the 1994 World Championship in Toronto, the team was branded “Dream Team II.” It wasn’t until after the Atlanta Olympics that USA Basketball realized there was no use in continuing that moniker. There was one — and only

The message is a bit feisty, but it sure does get the point across. Evan Turner is expected to see a significant increase in role and playing time for the 76ers with the departure of Andre Iguodala at shooting guard, so it’s great to hear that he is putting in the necessary work to set himself up for a big upcoming season. Turner showed flashes of brilliance as a starter last season, but often struggled with consistency and was benched

SH Blog: Dwight Howard wanted to be loved, not hated like LeBron James

by

The chatter about the Los Angeles Lakers have been non-stop for much of the summer, thanks to their huge offseason acquisitions of Steve Nash and Dwight Howard. Doc Rivers and Kendrick Perkins aren’t so high on focusing on the Lakers like everyone else though, and are looking forward to another possible meeting with the Miami Heat instead.
