by

Earvin “Magic” Johnson has no reason to praise the Brooklyn Nets being a lifelong Los Angeles Laker, however, he did offer up some kind words to the Nets.

Their losses are compounded by the uncertain future surrounding Kobe Bryant’s Achilles injury. The Brooklyn Nets probably have the most talent and could possibly win the NBA Championship. — Earvin Magic Johnson (@MagicJohnson)

Hubbard: Time to ditch to 2-3-2 Finals Format (From the Archives)

by

(Readers: This column originally ran during the NBA Finals. It is especially pertinent now that the NBA is switching back to 2-2-1-1-1.-CS) The most important playoff series in NBA scheduling history — the one that changed the NBA Finals from a 2-2-1-1-1 format to the current 2-3-2 — began easily enough. The leisurely pace of the first four games would get lost in the frenzy of the last three, but travel was not an issue the first 11 days of the 1984

Tweet of the Night: Magic Johnson and Micky Arison share condolences with Shaquille O’Neal

by
