Larry Bird was very disappointed of the latest news that has just happened. According to the Associated Press, Indiana Pacers’ second-round draft pick from this year’s draft Lance Stephenson was arrested for hitting his girlfriend. Stephenson will be playing point guard this year, but these latest events could make a twist and turn things around for the young prodigy.[...]

“With the number 2 pick in the 2010 NBA draft the Philadelphia 76ers select, Evan Turner from Ohio State University.” This is the statement that Sixers fans have been waiting to hear since the draft lottery occurred on May 18th when the Sixers defied the odds and landed the second overall pick. This could possibly be one of the easiest draft decisions the Sixers have ever made and also one [...]

The topic of a draft day trade seems to appear as often as Elton Brand on the injured list, but unlike Brand’s consistent knack of injuring himself, a draft day trade is much more of an unexpected wonder. Now don’t get me wrong, draft day trades have been occurring at a more frequent rate in [...]

After seeing insult added to the Nets lousy season I think its time to do away with the NBA Draft Lottery. The Nets were only able to muster 12 wins last season and now instead of having the number 1 pick like they would in any other sport they now get the 3rd pick in the draft. This is just out of reach of both premier players John Wall and Evan Turner. This happens all to often[...]

Let me first start off by asking, how did we ever miss this photo? As much as we love all things David Kahn, a photo like this would’ve made our day, week, month, life. But better late than never, I guess. Ok, on to Kahn’s continued lust for Ricky Rubio.
So with rumors swirling that prized [...]

Now that the dust has kinda settled from this year’s NBA draft, we can finally get into the debate of which decade has had the best #1 draft picks. Of course, some haven’t had the time to really make their case and we’re completely aware of this fact (so no need to bring it up), [...]

Another year, another NBA Draft choke full of hilarity.
I’m not crazy about the Thabeet pick, but the Grizzlies have a young and interesting starting five. Thabeet, younger Gasol, Gay, Mayo and Conley. The Thunder also did a nice job of filling out its roster. It’ll throw out a lineup of Krstic, Green, Durant, Harden and [...]
