Grant Hill has always seemed a class act to me. While injuries stopped him from fulfilling his promise as one of the first “next Jordan’s”, Hill has to be admired for the way he’s battled back.
He actually played a ton of games last year for Phoenix and was an effective member of the Suns’ squad. [...]

Don’t Kidd Yourself Or Nash Your Teeth! These Guys Aren’t Worth The Money!
For the life of me I don’t understand why NBA teams are so interested in Jason Kidd and Steve Nash. It’s 2009. If it was 1999 or even 2004, I would get it.
Kidd is a free agent and Nash is one year away from free agency (I think) and still the piece around which Phoenix intends [...]

Why Stephon Marbury Is Right!
In many ways I’m sure that Stephon Marbury is the poster boy for the modern spoiled athlete. One need only look at his paltry record of achievement in the NBA to realize that Marbury is at best over-rated or at worst a me first talent who has parlayed his immense skills into very little actual winning [...]

Finally, Someone Who Makes Me Like Kobe!
Listen, I’m on the record. I’m no Kobe fan. Sure, he’s a great player. It’s just that in my opinion he’s a selfish one. His immaturity forced the Lakers to deal Shaq prematurely to make Kobe happy. Only that didn’t make Kobe happy as for years afterward the Lakers couldn’t win.
Now, the Lakers are back. [...]

Quick Hits on NBA Coaching Hires
Mike D’Antonini to the Knicks – If you’ve been reading this space, then you know how I feel about this one. Cheesy mustache aside, you’ve got to be impressed by his record in Phoenix. The regular season. Never has figured out that defense wins come crunch time. Worth mentioning too that his teams were stocked [...]

D’Antoni Vs. Johnson… Who’s The Right Re-Tread Coach For Your NBA Team?
In most sports leagues, heck in most corporations, the head jobs are usually tough to crack. Most sports teams out to hire a head coach go with someone who has done the job before. The NBA is no exception. It’s all about cutting down the risks when making a big hire.
Whenever a vacancy is announced, [...]

Soon enough, the Phoenix Suns will be bounced out of the playoffs by the [...]

Memo To Donnie Walsh: You Don’t Need A Few Days!
Donnie Walsh is officially large and in charge of the New York Knicks. It’s a happy day for Knicks’ fans. Isiah Thomas has finally and for fans mercifully moved aside for someone who actually knows how to run an NBA franchise.
When taking over, Walsh said he would need a couple of days to decide whether to relieve Thomas [...]

You Heard It Hear First! Knicks Set For Another Mistake!
As reported here just yesterday, leave it to Jim Dolan to mess up a good thing. The good thing is Dolan bringing in Donnie Walsh from Indiana to rejuvenate the Knicks. The mess Dolan’s creating is his desire to keep Isiah Thomas on as coach. Why?
It’s certainly not Isiah’s coaching record. In his two years on [...]

Tough Is Being A Pitt Panther Fan This Time of Year!
Come this time every year, the flowers bloom and Pitt Panther b-ball fans see their March Madness turn to Spring Sadness. It’s so regular you could set your watch to it.
In my 20 years plus of following Big East basketball closely, I’ve seen Villanova, Georgetown, Syracuse and Connecticut claim national titles. I’ve seen St. Johns, Seton Hall, Boston College [...]
