As predicted by everyone, Team USA made it out of pool play undefeated. However, they did encounter a slight bump in the road when they faced Brazil (USA 70, Brazil 68), but other than that game there hasn’t been too many problems for team USA.
But now they enter the quarterfinals, where the competition will be [...]
It’s now time for the national team to put up or shut up. With guys like LeBron
James, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade, Team USA is a lock to win the 2010 FIBA
World Championship in Istanbul, Turkey. Oh, that’s right the 2010 National Team
doesn’t possess one player from the “Redeem Team,” so what does that mean [...]
When zone defense is brought up in reference to USA basketball, it usually has a
negative undertone. However, after watching Team USA’s 86-85 win over a scrappy
Spain team, maybe the zone defense benefits all.
In the closing seconds of the game, Team USA switched to a zone and completely
confused Spain. Kevin Durant was able to use his [...]
Let me preface this by reminding you guys that I’m far from an Andre Iguodala fan. Most people that know me joke and say that I hate on “Dre” . But that is hardly the case because initially I started out in his corner. Truth be told when the Philadelphia 76ers drafted him with the [...]
With everyone focused on the Phillies, the Sixers could be ready to turn this good off season into a great one.
Sources close to David Aldridge of NBA.com have told him that the Los Angeles Clippers have called the Sixers about the possibility of acquiring Andre Iguodala. The Clippers have a big hole at the small [...]
If Allen Iverson has any sense whatsoever, he’ll convene with LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh on a conference call and plead his case for joining them in Miami.
If he is smart, he will avoid all questions about how he may or may not behave on [...]
Immediately following the Philadelphia 76ers final NBA Summer League game in Orlando, FL I received phone calls, text messages and a few emails saying how mediocre Evan Turner looked. Almost everyone talked about how Turner appeared to be slow and how they thought he would be able to shoot better.
But we shouldn’t be too worried [...]
76ers first round draft pick Evan Turner hasn’t been on a basketball court playing five on five basketball for over a month and it’s starting to show.¬† The kid’s legs have deserted him.
Second year point guard Jrue Holiday was dominating last night with 25 points while Turner could score only four points in 27 minutes [...]
ESPN is reporting that Chris Bosh will join Dwayne Wade in Miami to play for the Heat.¬† They’re reportedly going to make the announcement later today.
I still hear LeBron James will stay in Cleveland, but there’s a growing sentiment that he may join the other two in Miami.¬† I think Wade and James playing on [...]
Allen Iverson was one of the most gifted athletes that I’ve ever seen.¬† His combination of speed, quickness and competitiveness could rival any athlete, but he may have been the worst of all-time when it came to preparation and paying the price away from the court.
I think the poor work habits which Allen Iverson defended [...]
