Perhaps the East should concede two spots to the West. Throw ...

Then, like clockwork, the 2010 All-NBA teams went out. Now, I am at the point of boiling. First, there's the tension between All-NBA and All-Star. The case for: the All-Star Game is mid-season, divided up by conference, and must contend with the totally cross-eyed fan voting. Big names ...

by Jordan SchultzFiled under: Kings, Suns, Trail Blazers, Warriors, NBA Awards, NBA DraftTyreke Evans of Sacramento is most likely going to win Rookie of the Year, finding himself in rarified air by having one of the greatest rookie campaigns in NBA history. His consistent play from day one has been brilliant, his numbers drawing eerie comparison to LeBron James, Michael Jordan and Oscar Robertson as the only rookies to ever average at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. He is pick-your-superlative great, the type of talent that wows you in five minutes. To summarize, he will win the ...

"I just decided that if I was debating it, the basketball gods were probably telling ...
