The Orlando Magic had a sensational win against the Bulls tonight, beating them by five points on the road. The Bulls had won 8 in a row at home, and thanks to Dwight Howard, that streak was snapped. Howard, the hot trade commodity right now, had 29 points, 18 rebounds, and 3 blocks in the win. As the trade deadline approaches, every stat line Dwight puts up may sway his value, even if in the slightest bit. If they

Bernucca Column: Punking vs. Punching

by

By Chris Bernucca “There’s a lot of woofing going on in the league. Guys do a lot of talking. What I would like to see, since television seems to be promoting everything, is an off-season boxing tournament for NBA players. Let them put on 16-ounce gloves and fight three two-minute rounds. One thing it would do … it would stop a lot of the woofing going on.” – “Pistol” Pete Maravich, in a 1977 Sports Illustrated article My son plays AAU basketball. He’s not
