While December 7, 1941 was a terrible day for our country, December 7, 1956 was a tremendous day for the game of basketball as it marks the day the Legend was born. Larry Bird turned 54 years old today. Hard to believe it’s been 18 years since his last game and 31 years since he and Magic Johnson entered the League together. Read More »

Who do you want your offense to run through with the game on the line? Counting down from 30th to 1st (one per team), I’ve ranked the League’s go-to guys…

KEVIN DURANT, Oklahoma City Thunder To be honest, had I stuck to my plan of completing this go-to guy countdown before the beginning of the season, Durant would have fallen into the 4th-5th place range. Read More »

He finished with 33 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and made three three-pointers last night.
