    FIBA U-19 World Championship 2011

    Jonas had 26 points and 24 rebounds against Poland. Team USA now plays Poland in a consolation game and we can finish no higher than fifth. I was reading some comments about our team and someone posted that we have the better athletes but they have better fundamentals. Well, I think...

    Jeremy Tyler - Another High School Bust

    He could be ok but he might turn into another Kwame Brown. Michael Jordan, the guy who also drafted Kwame Brown, traded Jeremy Tyler on draft night. I guess that MJ was seeing the next Kwame too and just wanted to get rid of him. lol

    Think about it!

    Jacob Tucker won the college dunk title and Marshall Plumlee should have won the high school dunk title. I like Jan Vesely's chances in the NBA dunk contest if there IS one and if he makes it (which he should).

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Realistic, that FIBA 33 is a great idea. I much prefer halfcourt since full court games tend to devolve into streetball pretty fast.

    Dirk Nowitzki

    j41181, This NBA lockout is supposed to be brutal and the entire season may be in jeopardy. I think that PEAK PRO SPORTS might be in, and, if the NBA comes back at all it might be a shell of its former self. It looks like the NBA started out as a merger between regional pro...

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Kevin Love is 6'9 and averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds. George Mikan would probably be effective. I think it was a pretty rough game back then so Mikan EARNED his points I also read that the ball then was weird and harder to shoot which is why shooting percentages were low.

    2011 NBA SEASON

    Ok, I can see your point. If this helps improve the quality of basketball and gets more Dirks and Loves and Gasols to the league then that would be great. But, this might force some white overseas talent to rethink the idea that the NBA is great. They might stay there and we will get stuck...

    2011 NBA SEASON

    Whiteathlete33, why is this good? The league's best player is white. The league's top rebounder is white as is the reigning assist king. 4 of the top rookies next year will be white. This is good for the NHL but also good for the caste-friendly NFL. Perhaps the NBA has to do more...

    Jimmer Fredette

    I like the Jimmer pick. I am not sold on someone like Brandon Knight. Yeah, the Kings did lose more games, but Tyreke was injured so that may have something to do with it. I think Jimmer gives them that outside shooter that they need. Well, last year's number one pick had great stats...

    Brad Miller

    I think Brad Miller can help them.I am looking forward to that team running more with Love, Rubio, and company. Miller should be able to provide a good veteran presence.

    NBA Draft

    Ben Hansbrough should have been drafted but now he can go to a team that needs him and will have a better chance of making the cut. Why did they say this was a weak draft? Probably because 4 of the first ten picks weren't black (Kanter, Valenciunas, Vesely, and Fredette) with the best two...

    NBA Draft

    I counted 15 whites including Enes Kanter. The guys at the back of the draft were basically made fun of. I wish Hansbrough had gotten drafted. I think Matt Howard was better than some of those guys too. But Diebler was a borderline pick and he got drafted. Good for him. I didn't see...

    NBA Draft

    Walnut, True, but I think that would be a good fit for Jimmer and probably the highest he could go. Udrih would then be the fourth guard but I think the team would be better with Jimmer. The other good fit for Jimmer would be Utah at 12. He could start and point guard with a good...

    Eastern Europeans in boxing and other Sports

    There are some good Eastern European prospects in the NBA draft this year to go along with Jimmer Fredette as some other good white American prospects.

    2011 U.S. Open

    The Big Three (Obama, LeBron, and Tiger) aren't doing so well this year.

    NBA Draft

    Jimmer could start in Sacramento but would probably come off the bench in Indiana. He would probably come of the bench in Utah too. In all 3 situations I think he would get plenty of minutes and shots.

    riots in vancouver- they were planned

    "They" might be trying to make the entire sport of hockey look bad. Or maybe they will say that hockey fights lead directly to riots or something like that. Could have been a "false flag" riot with those being some of the reasons. It was a shame because I was pulling for Vancouver. Boston...

    NBA Draft

    Matt Howard was on First Take today. He said he is somewhere between late 2nd round to undrafted. I think he is a good player who will get invited to camp even if he doesn't get drafted. He's a tough, smart player who can rebound and hit 3's. Somewhat similar to Brian Cardinal although...

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Way to screw it up DuhShawn. lol He just took some money off the table with that. ... Not sure where Nash ranks. He is up there somewhere. Hopefully he gets a ring too. Nash had some great playoff runs but was hurt by David Stern when he hated Nash and the Suns, Dirk and the Mavs, and...

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Basketball-reference.com has Dirk rated 9th all-time just behind Tim Duncan and Oscar Robertson, and just ahead of Kobe. Both are ahead of Hakeem, and Shaq. Their top five is MJ, Wilt, Magic, Kareem, and Bird. West and Stockton are ranked 13 and 14 on their list. Hondo is at 25, Nash is at...

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Bosh had a pretty good playoffs and killed Boozer. Yes, Dirk was the best guy in the playoffs, and Z Bo had a great playoffs too, but Chris Bosh WAS the third best power forward in the playoffs. He is not as good as Love or Griffin but those two players didn't make the playoffs. LA is good on...

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Dirk is the best player in the NBA right now. And depending on what position he wants to play he is the best small forward (ahead of LeBron and Durant), the best power forward (ahead of Amare, Z Bo, and Bosh), and perhaps even the best CENTER. Dwight Howard is a better rebounder and shot...

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Realistic, That's a great quote from Darryl Dawkins. Sounds very true. Well, "real basketball" won. LeBron has that mentality that Dawkins talked about. All about the selfish ego, style and flash. Winning is secondary. I think LeBron is a very good player and a good athlete but he...

    Dirk Nowitzki

    Dirk came through in the clutch again with big shots. I think his early foul trouble took him out of his rhythm somewhat. But he scored 10 points in the fourth quarter (18 in the second half) and had a great rebounding game too. Jet was absolutely on fire. JJ played great, hit some awesome...
