Deron Williams

Best player in NBA position by position: Dwight, Love, Lebron, Kobe, Deron

By

One of the greatest things about basketball is how simple the positions are: 1-5. Instead of saying "power forward" or "point guard" you can just say "the four" or "at the one." And this is what's lacking in both the All-NBA team and the USA Olympic Dream Team. The All-NBA selections are the top five players in the league, regardless of position. The '09-'10 team lacked a four … [Read more...] about Best player in NBA position by position: Dwight, Love, Lebron, Kobe, Deron

Deron Williams scores Nets franchise record 57 on Bobcats

By

Much like the night he dropped 38 on Jeremy Lin during the height of Linsanity, Deron Williams made a statement with his game. He put the point in point guard. I think D. Will has had enough with this Rajon Rondo and Chris Paul are the best point guards in the league talk. Deron Williams scored a franchise-record 57 points to bring the New Jersey Nets to a 104-101 victory … [Read more...] about Deron Williams scores Nets franchise record 57 on Bobcats

Deron Williams schools Jeremy Lin by dropping 38 on him

By

Deron Williams made a statement with his game. He said "welcome to the big boy table Jeremy Lin, this is how we do it here." Or maybe "I'm getting sick of hearing about Linsanity, let's silence it." The New York Knicks lost for the second time in the Lin era falling to the rival New Jersey Nets 100-92. Williams scored a season high 38, with eight 3s and 6 assists, absolutely … [Read more...] about Deron Williams schools Jeremy Lin by dropping 38 on him

2012 Olympic Basketball Team Unveils 20 Final NBA Candidates

By

Basketball, especially the NBA variety, is truly a night thing; like comedy. So to see the Chicago Bulls playing a live game versus the Memphis Grizzlies at noon on a Monday is pretty cool. It's the Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee in Memphis, the Civil Rights game. The city is sullen today as it's where MLK was slain in the 1960s. Today, the site of the assassination, the … [Read more...] about 2012 Olympic Basketball Team Unveils 20 Final NBA Candidates

By

With the start of the NBA season locked out, and the very real threat of losing many more games to the labor crisis, we haven't had a chance to talk about New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams. But we can talk Darrin Williams, the UIC Center named to the Horizon League preseason all-conference third team. And like Deron Williams, Darrin Williams has had a big impact on … [Read more...] about There’s Deron Williams (Illini, Nets) and Now Darrin Williams (UIC)

Does Former Illini Star Dee Brown have a Future Coaching Basketball? (Videos)

By

He's one of the most iconic players in recent college basketball history, and the face of Illini basketball for half a decade. Dee Brown, an All-American, and winner of the 2006 Cousy Award (given to the nation's best point guard) was the cover boy for SI's 2005 March Madness issue. During that Final Four run, his "poppin your collar" move became a national trend. He didn't … [Read more...] about Does Former Illini Star Dee Brown have a Future Coaching Basketball? (Videos)

Trade to Nets Proves Deron Williams is NOT the NBA’s Best PG

By

For the last few seasons there has been a lively debate about the best point guard in the NBA. Prior to this season the discussion was mainly between Chris Paul and Deron Williams (Derrick Rose is now in the conversation). Now that Deron Williams has been traded to the New Jersey Nets for Devin Harris, Derrick Favors and two first round picks, it's safe to say that the debate … [Read more...] about Trade to Nets Proves Deron Williams is NOT the NBA’s Best PG
