Just three seasons ago, shooting guard Brandon Roy, aka “The Natural”, was regarded as one of the most well-rounded players in the NBA. He was a natural leader for the Portland Trailblazers and displayed the type of game that was rarely seen in any player: a player with no distinct flaw. Roy could do it all, and he received the highest of praise from fans and players alike. Here is a direct quote from Kobe Bryant when he was asked to name
I am going to give you a Team USA gold-or-not prediction in this column, and I promise you a prediction that goes against the grain. That’s all I’ll say about that … for now. First, I’ll hand over the podium and relay a quote that could be the defining declaration concerning the London Olympics: “Let’s no longer beat about the bush. This summer’s Olympics Games are going to be a catalog of disasters. Not everything that can go wrong will go wrong.
James Dolan let Jeremy Lin walk for absolutely nothing. Was it a mistake? According to a number of writers, it was a huge mistake, and the big fall of MSG stock appears to strongly back up the notion. See why Dolan may have made one of his worst moves as an owner (and that’s saying a lot) below. You’ll also find Lin’s interview with SI to have a better understanding of what he went through during his time as a Knicks

At some point, we’d like to – and eventually will – have a headline that isn’t focused on the drama surrounding Dwight Howard or Jeremy Lin. That some point will not be today, however, as the two once again dominated the story lines. Lin’s situation, in particular, was discussed by a countless number of writers, as you will see below, along with other relevant news of the day: J.R.

Is “thought it was dumb” your definitlve logic for making personnel decisions ? — Mark Cuban (@mcuban) July 16, 2012 Tweet of the Day goes to Mark Cuban, who took a shot at Bill Simmons and basically called him stupid for his opinion about the pairing of Elton Brand (although he will likely come off the bench) and Chris Kaman for the
New York Knicks starting center and current Olympian Tyson Chandler was recently on the cover of ESPN The Magazine Body Issue, where athletes pose naked for the sake of art (and probably just to strut their stuff). It prompted Jeremy Lin to call him Magic Mike – a male stripper character in the movie “Magic Mike”. Now, you can see the actual process of the photo shoot and the various poses Chandler provided that you may not have seen before. You can also
