Free Agency hypes start of NBA season

By

After one of the most publicized off-seasons in NBA history, the league's landscape seems to have gone through a bigger face lift than Joan Rivers. The anticipation for the start of the season has been building since Lebron and CBTV reporter Blane Harrington lit up expectations in the sunshine state, seemingly anointing the Heat the most hated team in the NBA.

Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals: “Kobe can’t do it all by himself”

By

I keep hearing, “Kobe can’t do it all by himself” and I think therein lies the problem. Kobe Bryant is trying to win this series by himself. Granted, he has been unstoppable at times scoring 38 points and shooting 48 percent from the field in Game 5, but the Lakers were still unable to get the victory. The rest of this series may go a long way to writing the rest of Kobe’s … [Read more...] about Lakers vs. Celtics NBA Finals: “Kobe can’t do it all by himself”

Ray Allen shows “He Got Game”

By

Let’s face it, Game 1 of the NBA Finals was a dud. The Lakers dominated every aspect of the game, forcing us to hear the talk of a L.A. sweep. We also heard LeBron getting criticized for trying to overshadow the NBA Finals. If one man’s interview could overpower the biggest stage of basketball, then it isn’t LeBron’s fault, it’s the Celtics’ fault. If Boston was going to … [Read more...] about Ray Allen shows “He Got Game”

Magic’s famous hook-shot to beat the Celtics in the 1987 Finals went down as one of the greatest shots of all-time. Oh the memories…. Wait a second; I wasn’t even alive during any of this. While it may be a great storyline to talk … [Read more...] about Celtics vs. Lakers: NBA Finals Preview

2009 NBA Off-Season: Chicago Bulls

By

By Paul M. Banks When the magical Bulls-Celtics first round playoff series started, most of Chicago just wasn’t very excited. I mean who gets all warm and tingly about a 41-41 team sneaking into the playoffs? This was the same squad that resided in the bottom rung of the league in February, and had a joke of a head coach and an ugly home loss to the OKC Thunder on their … [Read more...] about 2009 NBA Off-Season: Chicago Bulls

Hard to let go of Bulls-Celtics

By

By Paul M. Banks That Bulls-Celtics series- when it started I just wasn't very excited. Before the postseason, I was like the rest of Chicago not very interested in the Bulls. I mean who gets all warm and tingly about a 41-41 team sneaking into the playoffs? A squad with a joke of a coach and an ugly home loss to the OKC Thunder on their resume. But something magical … [Read more...] about Hard to let go of Bulls-Celtics
