byJohn Nguyen |  Chamillionaire is a rapper straight out of Houston, Texas. I don’t listen to his music, but he is part of this generation’s hip hop scene. Recently, there has been a Youtube video floating around the internet showing Cham reflecting about his encounter with the great Michael Jordan. The meeting was not pretty. At all. It got downright nasty in front of the Boston Celtics. Let the salty (...).

byJohn Nguyen |  This type of stuff happens every season. Your long time favorite player might fall off this year statistically and this usually does not look pretty. Yes, we hate to admit that some of our favorites are dying out slowly so let’s take this chance to accept and embrace the always impending “father time.” It’s okay to age. Just remember to age gracefully. Tim Duncan – He’s not quite the (...).

byJohn Nguyen |  Why does NBA Live always get trashed by the general videogame community by default? This was a questioning plaguing me for years now. I couldn’t figure out many of the reasons why this train of thought has become the “go-to” conclusion for the series. Why? With all things, I had to travel back to the day when the Sega Dreamcast made its’ debut in late 1999. Anyone remember those (...).

byOly Sandor |  But the young, athletic, and high-scoring Indiana Pacers, even with a budding superstar in Danny Granger, could again find themselves golfing when the NBA’s second-season kicks off next April. After all, executive Larry Bird mostly stood pat in the off-season, while several Eastern Conference rivals underwent the kind of makeover that would wow Dr. Phil, leave Oprah speechless, and have Tyra (...).

byOly Sandor |  Consider the past few months. In late August, captain Stephen Jackson demanded a trade just months after signing a three year, $30 million contract extension. On the first day of training camp, Monta Ellis -who missed part of last year when he violated his contract and injured himself riding a moped- told reporters he didn’t want to share the backcourt with super-rookie Stephen Curry (...).

byOly Sandor |  During Thursday’s exhibition game versus the Sacramento Kings, Bryant dropped a through-the-leg bounce pass to a trailing Lamar Odom, who finished the play with a convincing one-handed jam. The entire sequence was reminiscent of ‘The Showtime Los Angeles Lakers‘, when Magic Johnson used to hit James Worthy, Byron Scott, and numerous other teammates in the open-court with highlight reel (...).

byOly Sandor |  Instead of delivering an elite talent, Detroit signed two good but not great free agents in Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. And Dumars, despite being in a buyer’s market, paid both very fair money -Gordon got five years at $55 million, while Villanueva also inked a five-year deal for $35 million. To be fair, the Pistons have an eclectic collection of players, but is it enough in the much (...).

byOly Sandor |  Initially, these two were a match with the Warriors, connecting over being ’misunderstood’ by their NBA peers. Jackson publicly praised Nelson. And vice-versa. Months ago, Nelson even named Jackson a co-captain and added an extra three years and 30 million dollars to his contract ....

byOly Sandor |  After a disastrous 2009, Toronto Raptors GM Bryan Colangelo wanted to upgrade the wing positions. So ’The Golden Boy’ in the executive suite signed free agent small forward Hedo Turkoglu and acquired shooting guard Antoine Wright in a trade with Dallas. However, his best move might be drafting DeMar DeRozan. The lottery pick has impressed at training camp and, with respect to Jamario Moon, (...).

byOly Sandor |  A basketball renaissance occurred in Denver last year because the team swapped shot-first Allen Iverson for pass-first Billups. Fair or not, Iverson’s scoring and ball dominating ways confused; Billups’ passing and leadership clarified. For instance, after Iverson, Anthony became the undisputed first option on offense. Best of all, the forward’s game matured throughout the season -‘Melo, (...).

byOly Sandor |  Reserve guard Shannon Brown, who was a pleasant surprise in last year’s playoff, continues to make a case for regular minutes off the bench with a coast-to-coast, poster-job jam over Golden State’s Mikki Moore. Of course, Brown’s aerial antics shouldn’t surprise. The back-up table-setter threw-down on Denver’s Chris Anderson in last year’s Western Conference Finals and, back in the day (...).
