The NBA’s Top 10 Shooting Guards This Season & Why Everyone Is Now Chasing James Harden

James Harden

The shooting guard position is made for the game’s most gifted scorers. In today’s game, it doesn’t matter if you’re your team’s first option or if you’re coming off the bench. A shooting guard’s job is to put the ball in the hole. It’s always been that way. Although the position isn’t as stacked with talent as it once was, it’s still home to some of the game’s best scorers. Read More »

The Answer, White Chocolate & The 20 Best Crossovers In NBA History

Allen Iverson

We’ll call this the list Gary McGhee loves to hate…

I’ve been on both sides of the coin before. It’s the embarrassing times you remember. One in particular stands out for me. College. Sophomore year. Preseason. Every fall semester at a D-III college is always the same: there are the returning players and then there are dozens of kids from high school, all coming together and all believing they’ll be one of the three or four kids who actually make the team. They all have some game and they’re all cocky. Read More »

Chris Paul Snatches the Grizzlies’ Soul; Clowns Force Kobe Bryant Off Twitter

Chris Paul

C. P. 3. Game 2 on last night’s schedule was light years better than the opener; the second being an intense, ultra physical between the Clippers and the Grizzlies that came down to an incredible last-second bucket by the aforementioned Chris Paul. [Check out our Top 25 Buzzer Beaters and Game Winners in NBA Playoff History]

With the game tied at 91 (after the Clips let Memphis come back from a consistent 6-8-point deficit, including allowing a WIDE OPEN dunk on a screen and roll to even it up), CP, having already taken over on the offense end in the final two minutes, found himself iso’d on Tony Allen. Paul wanted to go right and right only, and Allen played defense about as well as anyone could possibly play without fouling. He closed off CP multiple times before Chris got a step on him – but he still forced Paul into a tough shot from outside the lane. Glass. Good. Buzzer. Ballgame. Watch for yourself here: Read More »

Report: J.R. Smith To Win NBA Sixth Man Of The Year

J.R. Smith

The NBA season is longer than you think. Eighty-two games. Five and a half months. A minimum of 3,936 minutes. In November, who was talking about the Nuggets as the No. 3 seed in the West? Or the Lakers as a No. 7 seed, but minus Kobe? Better yet, was there anyone alive who thought Jamal Crawford wasn’t going to win the Sixth Man Of The Year award? Read More »

Blake Griffin lob

Blake Griffin got only the third triple-double of his career Wednesday night against Milwaukee — 23 points, 11 boards, and 11 dimes. He could have left the win over the Bucks halfway through the fourth quarter, the victory in hand, and no one would have thought his performance was anything less than the game-changer. Read More »
