PHOENIX — Channing Frye entered the penultimate game of last season in one of his patented shooting slumps. The Suns’ big man had misfired on 30 of his previous 39 three-pointers and 52 of his... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Grant Hill ‘Not Even Close’ to Retiring Alvin Gentry, Grant Hill, Kurt Thomas, Shaquille O'Neal, Suns News | (0)
by Tim PovtakFiled under: Bobcats, Magic, Suns, NBA RumorsORLANDO, Fla. -- There are times when a graying Grant Hill wonders why he's still chasing kids -- some literally half his age -- through screens, battling them for rebounds, and taking charges from bruisers that make him ache the next day. Then he answers himself: Because he still can. And he still can do it surprisingly well. And he feels great. Hill, at age 38, has given himself an extension on a basketball career that almost ended years ago, reaping the benefits now of the seasons he lost in his prime. Anyone waiting for his ...

Grant Hill Seeks Multi-Year Contract Next Summer With Phoenix Alvin Gentry, Grant Hill, greg oden, Greg Oden injury, Shaquille O'Neal, Suns News | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Celtics, Suns, Trail BlazersDENVER -- A multi-year contract at 38? Shaquille O'Neal got one last summer. Grant Hill wouldn't mind being next. In an interview with FanHouse before Sunday night's game at Denver, the Phoenix forward said he's hopeful of re-signing with the Suns when he becomes a free agent next summer. "Yeah,'' Hill said. "I like it here. It's a business but I do like it here. I like the team and the situation. It's a little different losing Amar'e (Stoudemire, who left for New York last summer after being a free agent). But I like the potential ...

The Mini-Max Contract: Where 2010 All Began Amare Stoudemire, Antawn Jamison, carmelo anthony, chris bosh, chris paul, Deron Williams, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Suns News | (0)
by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Heat, Hornets, Jazz, Magic, Nets, Nuggets, Suns, NBA Rumors No one likes the Free Agent Super-Summit, even those rumored to be involved. It may or may not be collusion, and on a good day, makes LeBron James and friends look like ardent disciples of Mikhail Prokhorov -- without the funny accent that charms out all into submission. Certainly, the forced drama and posturing around the event, which may or may not have ever been meant literally, grate on even the most pro-player observers. And admittedly, there's a hill of difference between this summer and Jim ...

by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Bobcats, Hawks, Lakers, Magic, Mavericks, Nuggets, Spurs, Suns, Trail Blazers, NBA Playoffs, Thunder No one with a wife and kids, or the need to eat leafy greens, has time to watch all this basketball. But we do. So, as a service to the public, here are the Playoff Talking Points you need to fake it at the water cooler: o. Young Men Inside Some Old Men: The Oklahoma City Thunder may be the league's youngest team, but they don't play like it. The Thunder are wise beyond their years, mature, disciplined, and yes, maybe even play a little ...

NBA Pranks for the Memories, By George bobby jackson, BobbyJackson, devean george, DeveanGeorge, jason thompson, JasonThompson, kenyon martin, KenyonMartin, Louis Amundson, LouisAmundson, rick fox, RickFox, Shaquille O'Neal, ShaquilleOneal, Suns News, Tony Bobbitt, TonyBobbitt | (0)
by Chris TomassonFiled under: Grizzlies, Kings, Lakers, Nuggets, Suns, WarriorsOne could call Devean George a professor of pranks. The 11-year veteran became an expert while on the wrong end of them frequently as a rookie before doling out many later in his career. The Golden State Warriors' forward has seen plenty in his day, but he still was quite surprised to learn about the April Fool's prank played on Denver forward Kenyon Martin. Not only is the rugged Martin one of the most humorless players in the NBA, he's a 10-year man. "He's a veteran,'' George said about the prank in which ...

by Bethlehem ShoalsFiled under: Bucks, Hornets, Jazz, Kings, Suns, Warriors, NBA Draft Around the time Shaquille O'Neal roamed this earth with absolute impunity, we would ask, wistfully, "where have all the big men gone?" This was not a really bad, basketball-related Kinks parody, but a real question: At least in the collective imagination, once the population of competent seven-footers (or slightly below) in the NBA was stable, even flourishing. Then abruptly -- and this is not in any way intended to detract from Shaq's achievements -- being Michael Olowokandi was enough to get you selected number one overall. ...
