Tweet of the Night: Magic Johnson says Stephen Curry and John Stockton are not better than Isiah Thomas
When ESPN ranked the Top 10 point guards of all-time on Tuesday, some were unhappy with certain omissions. Others simply didn’t agree with the order. Because a lot of this involves personal opinion and preference without a proper guideline, it’s hard to say what the right order really is. Are you judged on longevity? How dominant you were in your prime? A combination of those things and the number of championships won? Number of All-Star selections? No one really has an answer
Fantasy Spin: Win $20,000 For $3 (Or Free); Clippers Go For Ten Straight

Hubbard: While excelling quietly, Spurs may be finding gems
Seldom has a team with a nine-game winning streak, 16 victories in its last 17 games and an overall record of 34-6 generated so little excitement. That’s outside of San Antonio, of course. Spurs fans are aware as any of the Ripleys-Believe-It-Or-Not 36-2 start of the Golden State Warriors, but they have every reason to be excited and optimistic about their chances to win a sixth NBA title. The Warriors are defending champions, but the Spurs are only a year removed from winning
Challenges awaiting the Nets
The Nets cleared out their front office this week, removing their head coach and general manager. Brooklyn has lost 5 straight games, including a 27-point loss to the Spurs on Monday. The new head coach and GM will face many challenges, both on and off the court. [Read more…]
Tweet of the Night: Jamal Crawford can’t believe Gary Payton is not listed in ESPN’s Top 10 point guards of all-time
Anytime you do a Top-10 anything, there’s bound to be disagreements and some level of controversy. ESPN, well known for ranking players prior to the start of the season, is posting Top-10 players of all-time at every position and started with point guards on Tuesday. [Read more…]
Sheridan: Is Prokhorov Stalling in Order to Sell the Nets?
Mikhail Prokhorov kept insisting Monday that he is in no hurry to fill the general manager or coaching vacancies for the Brooklyn Nets. Which begs the question: If he is in no hurry, is that because he is buying time in order to sell the team? I wouldn’t rule it out. My biggest takeaway from Prokhorov’s news conference in the wake of his pogrom that dispatched Billy King and Lionel Hollins was the Russian billionaire’s admission that people have been making bids for
Sprung: Spurs Playing Their Best Defense Ever Under Popovich
After Monday’s 106-79 road win over the deliriously dysfunctional Brooklyn Nets, the 33-6 San Antonio Spurs have matched the team’s best start through 39 games in its storied franchise history. The Spurs have won five championships since Gregg Popovich took over as coach during the 1996-1997 season, but have never started the regular season with more wins than they have right now. And San Antonio isn’t just beating teams, it’s steamrolling opponents at a level not seen anywhere else in the league. The
