Ladies and Gentleman, it's here. The greatest sport on our planet bar none (!) is back on our tv screens, in our gyms and across our websites. College Basketball, what else? It's that exciting I can actually feel Yannis bursting with excitement...

It's a long time since Richfield. Even longer since Austin Carr wore his afro as a rookie from Notre Dame. In a league built upon franchises and success, the Cavs don't match up to the "bigger boys". Since the team's inception in...

I still remember the first time I saw Brandon Jennings. He was being interviewed before the McDonald's All-American contest. His charisma and energy was oozing through the television screen. To top it all off ( literally ), was his high top fade that...

When NBA experts throw out the word "potential", you hear about the usual names. Roy's Trailblazers, Durant's Thunder, and Rose's Bulls. Heck people think of Kevin Martin's Kings ( wait scratch that ) and even the Grizzles even...

How sad is that? A preview of Twitter. Not who'll be MVP, not who'll make the playoffs, Twitter. But it's still related to the NBA, so I'm not breaking any of HOOPSWORLD's blogging rules...I hope. Twitter is so big and huge now in...

There are a lot of certainties in the NBA. We all know that LeBron is gonna flirt with a triple double almost every game. We know that Kobe will stop at nothing (n-o-t-h-i-n-g) to win. We know Chris Paul has that uncanny knack of making the eye dropping...

Despite season-ending injuries to Michael Redd and Andrew Bogut and controversies surrounding Charlie Villanueva's use of Twitter during intermission, the Bucks remained relevant in the Eastern Conference. Led by head coach Scott Skiles, the squad...

What do you work as in your every day life? Are you a nine-to-five office guy? Maybe you work in retail, a gym or as a salesman? I don't know, you fill in the blanks, it's your job. Nonetheless, in your line of work, aren't you constantly...

Colour me bored. I am. I miss the NBA; I miss it a lot right now. I miss seeing Kobe miss three shots in a row before knocking down one of his patented long range, hey-I'm-still-here-three-pointers. I love when he does that. I miss seeing Chris Paul...

A lot (all) of our blogs here recently have been focused solely on the NBA, summer league, draft, free agents and so on so forth. Cool, I'm all for that as I love the NBA and am very eagerly awaiting the new season. However, the greatest sport on...

Welcome Everyone! This summer has been filled with wild trades, and the solidification of a couple of teams vying as legit contenders. The Lakers, Spurs, Cleveland, and Orlando have raised the stakes considerably. However, remember when everyone was convinced...

Every successful team had one. All potential-filled teams are creating one. They're the reason franchises are temporarily promoted to champions. That reason is the angle of choice, the algorithm, the blueprint, and the battle plan. No champion in...

The Washington Wizards. A team known more for their injuries off the court than their actual play on the hardwood floor, are coming off a disappointing 19-63 season worth repressing deep, deep in the fans subconscious. But there was light at the end of...

Everyone knew this was coming, but no one expected this. The champagne hasn't even dried off yet and the Lakers are in the midst of losing another key player in Lamar Odom . If a player wants to maximize their financial opportunities after a championship...

Alright, I'm going to bite. I know it's only the summer league and let's face it; it's not high-octane competition. It hasn't the same competitiveness as say, the 74 th game of the season when you're vying for a postseason berth...
