So the big news today that is buzzing is pop star Justin Bieber pulling up a crossover on NBA superstar point guard, Steve Nash. The 37-year-old got blown past by with a Bieber crossover. Bieber then took it further with a backwards lay-up…which went in.

Now we all know Bieber has basketball skills, as we have seen when he had those pick-up games with Shaq or his performance in the All-Star game. Could this be another [...]

Some players like Grant Hill and Kurt Thomas have been in the NBA for almost two decades and still don’t even have one NBA championship ring to show for it.
The NBA is filled with plenty of star caliber players that are stuck on bad teams like Kevin Love with the Minnesota Timberwolves or Deron Williams [...]

After being a play-off team for five of the past six NBA seasons, the Phoenix Suns are used to a better record than this. Upon falling 121-100 to the Toronto Raptors (3-3) yesterday in Toronto, the Suns’ pre-season record dropped even further to a disappointing 1-5.

Slam Magazine has released their new list of the top 50 Greatest NBA players of all time. The first list was made in 1997 and revised for the first time in 2003 and extended to 75 players. In 2009 it’s back to 50 and while it’s not a bad list, I have a few issue with this list.
