Brian Williams is one of the winningest players in University of Tennessee basketball history. During his freshman year, the team was ranked number one in the nation for the first time in school history. During his junior year, he helped lead Tennessee to the Elite Eight, the furthest the school had ever gone. In the NCAA Tournament, he averaged over 10 rebounds per game including a nine point, 12 rebound performance against Ohio State in the Sweet Sixteen. Read More »
It won’t be long before we get our question answered. Where will Jimmer Fredette end up? Some believe it’s only destiny that he goes to Utah. Others see him as a fringe top-15 pick. But one question Fredette is answering again and again in draft workouts? He can play. Really well. Read More »
The results of LeBron James’ first year in Miami are in. And even though the Heat didn’t win it all, the team still made the Finals. Of course, LeBron still has plenty of time to prove that his “Decision” was a worthwhile one that will end in a title for the Heat.
With LeBron (and Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh) in Miami, the Heat is still in great shape, even without a championship this season. Read More »
When Dirk Nowitzki took his first fadeaway of the 2011 playoffs, it looked a lot like the thousands of others he’d taken in his 12-year career. He stood for probably the millionth time in his life in the high post, free-throw extended, back to the basket, pacing his dribble like my grandpa paces his Toyota Camry. Read More »
So now that we’ve crowned an NBA champion, it’s time to party.
We’re keeping a live diary of the victory parade, which begins in a couple minutes here. Stick around if you can, and let us know what you think if you can watch this madness on NBA TV.
Dirk’s excited tweeting this just minutes before the 11 a.m. ET celebration: “Can u say PARADE? Unbelievable. Its gonna be a blast. See u guys there. Mav nation on the move. Thx so much. #epic”
(11:05): And like the Joker, “Here … we … go.” Nancy Lieberman, working for Fox Sports, says fans lined up at 5 a.m. for this shindig. Intense. Read More »
The Wizards are stuck in draft purgatory. Devoid of star power beyond Derrick Williams and Kyrie Irving, Washington knows it can get nearly the same player in this draft at the tail end of the lottery as it can at number six. So instead of moving down, they are trying to go all in. Read More »
We want to know what he was drinking. Was it Johnny? Maybe Jack. Maybe a little Hennessy. Whatever it was, it looks like it did the trick, as DeShawn Stevenson was arrested and charged with public intoxication Tuesday night in Texas. First off, you can assume that after winning the championship, the whole crewis still partying. What would you do if you just worked for a whole year towards a goal, achieved it, and then had nothing to do for the next four months (and you’re filthy rich to boot)? Read More »
Ice Cube will tell anyone he can hoop. But if you shoot an airball from the free throw line, I can’t take you serious (even if he did hit his hat). Still, here’s a 42nd birthday shout out to one of the best MCs ever, Ice Cube. Now get back to filming terrible commercials.
The NBA Draft is simply the most important time of the year for rebuilding franchises. Just ask the Portland Trail Blazers. Whether it is the next Michael Jordan or Kevin Durant or the next Sam Bowie or Greg Oden, we are out to identify the legitimate prospects from the phony ones. Every week, we will deliver a profile of a top prospect and break down their game. We will give you player comparisons, ratings (on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being NBA Rookie of the Year caliber and 1 being overseas caliber), outsider opinions on the prospects, and much more. Last we had BYU’s Jimmer Fredette, and next up is Arizona forward Derrick Williams. Read More »
