In the Western Conference, it may be premature to crown the Oklahoma City Thunder after just three weeks of the NBA season, but at 17-1 and with all-star Jalen Williams still rehabbing from wrist surgery, the Thunder seems to be playing chess while the rest of the league plays checkers. Which is ironic, because it’s […]

Former Colorado Buffalo, NBA legend, and current NBA coach, Chauncey Billups, was arrested and charged in connection with a federal gambling probe that involved both illegal sports betting and rigged poker games with organized crime. FBI director, Kash Patel, arrested Billups last Thursday, along with more than 30 others, in a wide-ranging gambling investigation that […]

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 may sound like I’m aging, old school, or simply stuck in the past, but sports aren’t what they used to be. Take the college football overtime process for example. Each team now has one possession starting at the opponent’s 25-yard line. If the game is still tied, they play another overtime. If the game […]

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 […]

In theory, it shouldn’t be that difficult to create an NBA Mock Draft that closely aligns with the thought process of a lottery team’s General Manager. With an exception or two, everybody knows who the top dozen players are. If you need a big man, you probably have Alex Sarr, the 7’1, 19-year-old from France […]

Calling it a difficult sports weekend for Colorado fans may be a bit of an understatement. It was bad enough that the Colorado Avalanche were knocked out of the NHL Playoffs on Friday by the Dallas Stars when former Avs Matt Duchene scored the game-winner in double overtime. But when the Denver Nuggets squandered a […]

The last two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves were not pretty. A seven-point loss in game one, followed by a 26-point spanking in game two. But I’m not worried. The Denver Nuggets are the defending NBA Champions, and they have Nikola Jokic. Is it a little concerning that Michael Malone undoubtedly made some adjustments after […]

The Thanksgiving table can get contentious at times. Generations of family loudly discussing politics, sports, and the proper use of nonbinary pronouns. Grandpa may never understand the difference between he/him/his and they/them/theirs, but he will go to his deathbed with the belief that Bill Russell with his 11 rings, is the greatest basketball player of […]
