I realize that NBA General Managers are relatively handcuffed when it comes to building their franchises. There are cap restrictions, veteran minimums, and large tax ramifications for entering the Second Apron. Your team is stuck with players on bad contracts, aging players, injured players, and players looking for an extension. Add to it that there […]

Michael Jordan ended his career with the Washington Wizards, Tom Brady exited as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, and Willie Mays took his final swing as a New York Met. After 23 seasons in the NBA, including 11 with Cleveland, 4 with Miami, and 8 with the Lakers, no one will be surprised to see LeBron […]

The Nuggets acquired Cam Johnson, and he comes from nowhere near Wisconsin. But with the money they saved, also got Hardaway, he’s good, but he’s no David Thompson. Bruce Brown was like more of a bonus, not to mention there’s Jonas Valancianas. Though he may play in Greece, the guy’s seven feet, and for Jokic […]

It is being called one of the biggest trades of all time. Bigger than Shaq to the Heat (2004), Harden to the Nets (2021), or Durant to the Suns (2023). Bigger than Michael Burry during the collapse of the housing market (2007), George Soros messing with the Bank of England (1992), and bigger than Peter […]

It all started years back, when NBA TV would offer a free preview for the first two weeks of the season. Snuggled in the corner of my living room, I would binge watch NBA basketball like your favorite Netflix series. But unlike your favorite shows, I didn’t need to watch the entire series to figure […]

Opening the 2023-24 NBA season against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers would have been big enough news by itself, but tonight there is more. The team will probably come running out onto the court as the DJ blasts Tobe Nwigwe’s song “Fye Fye.” Flashing lights will shoot across the darkened arena like a […]

It is often hard to compete with the bright lights of Los Angeles. Los Angeles has Adele, Denzel, and DiCaprio. We have the guys from South Park. Los Angeles has Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. We have The String Cheese Incident and icy roads. Los Angeles has Beyonce and her $200 million Malibu […]

The darkness that is Halloween conjures up many frightful images.  The silence of an empty graveyard, the shadows of creatures that roam, and the fear of things that go bump in the night. The world of sports can be just as scary. Try watching the Colorado Buffaloes compete against Oregon, or the Denver Nuggets without […]

The NBA season tips off this week and the Western Conference is up for grabs.  The Suns look to shine.  The Lakers added Westbrook and Carmelo.  Golden State is getting the band back together. Doncic is the Mavericks Top Gun.  While the Jazz are sounding smooth. And don’t forget about the Denver Nuggets and their […]

The Washington Football Team recently asked for fan input to find a new name for its NFL franchise.  Once known as the Redskins, the franchise abandoned the controversial team name after years of public pressure, eventually settling on calling the team the Washington Football Team until a new name was decided upon.  The organization has […]
