desperately need help at the backup point guard spot. With no solid backup option behind All-Star Kyrie Irving, he has had to log a lot of minutes. Right now, he is averaging 35.2 minutes per game. The Cavaliers know that if they want to make it back to the NBA Finals and defeat the Golden State Warriors, they need another option behind Irving. On Saturday, Marc Stein of ESPN reported that the Cavs could target either Utah Jazz point guard Shelvin Mack or Denver Nuggets point guard Jameer…

blogs, and many more. The Maine Red Claws had a impactful 2015-2016 season recording 31 wins and 19 losses ranking them as number 1 in the Atlantic division, and rank 2 in the eastern conference in the National Basketball Association development league(NBA D-League). The 2016 season was a promising season for the Red Claws as they were 3rd in the league for points per game averaging an impressive 111.8 points per game, and 47% from the field. The organization…

steals his moves. Kobe and Michael are both champions, shooting guards, and they both had very successful careers. In 1991, Michael Jordan won his first NBA championship in only five games. At the time the Playoffs were four game elimination, meaning that first team to win four games wins the round as well as the championship. The first game of the NBA Finals was won by the Los Angeles Lakers, but the second game was won by the Bulls in a blowout game. The remainder of the games were won by the…

Over the years, statistics have shown that NBA players who go to college tend to avoid bankruptcy just as frequently as those who go straight to the NBA from high school. [MC(1)] Along with this, findings also show that players should have to go through at least two years of college. The reasoning behind this is so that the players are intelligent enough to take care of their money. These two years of college could perhaps allow these athletes to make smart, sound choices with their life and…

other, there’s a reason for it. It’s rooted in a sense of mutual respect. Rivalries don’t happen when teams are playing poorly. Rivalries are born when two good teams play each other for the same prize. With the Wizards and Celtics both becoming playoff contenders, we are witnessing the birth of a…

irrelevant former star while waisting away on the Brooklyn Nets bench. There is plenty of frustration and blame that gets thrown around when a team struggles and the 2016-17 Brooklyn Nets are a tormented group. Saddled with the worst record in the NBA and no immediate future first round draft picks the Nets need more than a streaky injury prone point guard. Jeremy Lin signing a multi year deal with the Brooklyn Nets this past off season would have made sense if the team had hopes of…

the Brooklyn Nets Mikhail Prokhorov. Sitting at over 8.9 billion dollars in net worth, in 2010 the NBA approved Prokhorov to purchase 80% of the then New Jersey Nets. Since then he has ran for President in Russia and claimed that the he would get married had the Nets not won a championship in the first five years of his ownership. Currently he is the owner of a team with the worst record in the NBA (18-59) and is still not married. How did we end up here? When Prokhorov purchased the Nets, he…

There are a handful of players you think of when you think of the greatest NBA players ever, whether it be statistically or just the one that captured you, or your parents hearts as kids growing up. Who is really the best? Michael Jordan is absolutely, without a doubt the greatest basketball player ever. What makes Michael the best from the other greats like, Hakeem Olajuwon, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, and Elgin Baylor? Many things separate him from the others, not just his scoring,…

this day. Heroes like this are inspirational to the young as well as the old. And they will go down as two of the greatest people to live. Michael Jordan and King Arthur each showed generosity in their own way. The greatest example was in the 1997 NBA finals when the Bulls were down by one with six seconds left. During the timeout Steve Kerr went over to Michael and said, “They are gonna double team you and i’m going to be open and i will hit the shot.” Once Michael got the ball he indeed got…

After a defeat in the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors, the defending Eastern Conference Champions Cleveland Cavilers headed to the off-season with plans to improve the team. What the team got was one of the worst off-seasons by a team that just went to the NBA Finals in recent history. Even though the team is going through a lot of changes, players are starting to get upset with the origination, more importantly, LeBron James. With all that has gone down this offseason in Cleveland,…
