2017-18 season, Howard is now -like it or not- the face of the Atlanta Hawks franchise. Not since Howard left Orlando four seasons ago has he had a legitimate opportunity to be “the man” on a consistent 50-win playoff team. That time is now. The Lakers had Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash (for whatever that move was worth) during Howard’s single season in Englewood, I mean Hollywood. The Rockets had James Harden, the clear and present leader of that team, when Howard arrived. The Hawks…

When the 1949-50 season ended, seven teams dropped out, leaving the National Basketball Association with a ten-team roster. A lot of time was spent trying to beat the Lakers, who passed through to five championships in six seasons riding on Mikan’s shoulders. Mikan had an average of twenty two point six points per game in over nine professional seasons. Mikan shocked the world when he announced his retirement after the…

Every time the NBA season ends, there is always a frequently asked question, which Gasol brother played better this season? People even take several polls on the internet, and it’s always back and forth. Marc and Pau Gasol are two of the premier post players in the NBA. However, people often confuse them because of their size and low post scoring, even though they are extremely diverse. In this article, The Gasol Brothers, basketball fans will find out how to easily identify the two from one…

LeBron James left Cleveland after seven years of the same old Cleveland. He was the best player on that roster and even the league, yet the Cavaliers front office failed to surround him with talent. Mo Williams? Boobie Gibson? Ilgauskas? Please. They brought in Shaquille O'Neal in 2010, but that was when Shaq was way past his use-by date. If you've given a team seven years of your absolute best and more, and they can't repay you with anything, can you blame LeBron for leaving to South Beach?…

You may be ready to coronate the Golden State Warriors again, and rightfully so. At 64-7, Golden State is on pace to edge out the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls for the best record in NBA regular season history (72-10). So it's a foregone conclusion that this three-ball bombing brigade from the Bay will hoist back-to-back trophies, right? Well, I've got another theory. The San Antonio Spurs will dash the Warriors' dynastic dreams, and Tim Duncan will ride off into the sunset as a six-time champion.…
