LeBron James is the best player of this generation. If I was on the opposing bench, this would be my game plan to try and stop him (or at least slow him down). [Read more…]
How to Stop (or Slow) LeBron James
SH Blog: Pierce and Garnett Return to Boston; Miami too Hot for San Antonio; T-Ross Goes Off
To say it’s been an eventful 24 hours of basketball is a major understatement. NBA fans were treated to emotional tributes, heavyweight tilts and massive scoring outputs. In addition to all the fun, NBA Sunday Showcase also returned. For the remainder of the season (with the exception of Super Bowl Sunday) fans can watch top teams in the league go head-to-head during the daylight hours. Let’s go to Boston, where two highly anticipated returns brought many to tears. Kevin Garnett: six years, one
Tweet of The Day: Stephenson Pressing for All-Star Status
A reoccurring argument among NBA circles is the All-Star selection process. Should fans have all the say? Do coaches have enough power? Should the league ever intervene? Most importantly, who makes it and why. Does the best player on a bad team deserved to make it, or does a good player on a great team deserved to make it, I think it’s the latter. Lance Stephenson has been the Indiana Pacers third-best player all season. The shooting guard is pressing harder to

NBA Proposition Bets: A Different Angle
In the past few weeks I have written columns on the NBA futures market (to win the championship) and over/unders on regular season win totals, which is always something that intrigues not only bettors, but fans, too, because it gives them a barometer for how their team may perform in the upcoming season. The last item on the menu before the regular season starts next week is some of the more exotic proposition bets on the NBA betting menu which get
Tweet of the Day: Nick Collison’s Awkward Experience
NBA players are subject to constant autographs and pictures with fans, but what Oklahoma City Thunder forward Nick Collison recently experienced is straight out of the weird category. While using the washroom at a public facility, a male approached and took a picture of the player while urination. I just snatched the phone from a guy who took a picture of me pissing at a urinal. #okc — Nick Collison (@nickcollison4) October 19, 2013 Professional basketball players are no stranger to the oddity of
Jordan vs. James, 10 years in: Who is the best NBA player of all time?
As long as there is sports talk radio and avoidable TV programs like “First Take,” there will be a debate on who is the greatest basketball player who ever lived. The following is going to make this writer look like a big, fat hypocrite, since there was a June article on this site, by this very writer, with the headline “Please stop comparing LeBron James to Michael Jordan.” But we can’t help it, can we? LeBron James now has two NBA
