The Houston Rockets traded for Chris Paul last week and only gave up two experienced NBA players. Sending a smattering of end of the bench guys and a back-end 1st round pick is a pittance for a top 3 point guard. In the NBA, any chance to acquire a superstar has to be taken but this particular pairing doesn’t seem like a perfect fit at all. Both CP3 and James Harden are ball dominant players used to being the alpha on their respective teams and will now share the floor and on

The Los Angeles Clippers have become the Dallas Cowboys of basketball. Of course the Cowboys to this point have flipped the script as they sit 11-2, that hasn’t been the case in their recent history. What other team seems to falter under pressure? Choke or fail to show up in the big games, seemingly every year is considered a title contender, but just never seem to get over that hump? It’s the Clippers, a team with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and JJ Reddick in t

It’s hard to separate players before even a single minute of 2016/2017 regular season basketball has been played. We have no idea how Russell Westbrook will fare on his own in OKC, or how Steph Curry and Kevin Durant will divvy up shots. Will LeBron chase a 5th MVP award, or will he coast through to the All-Star break once again? Will Chris Paul and Blake Griffin manage to stay healthy? These are all questions that will go unanswered until the opening night (tip-off on Octobe

10. Eric Bledsoe, Phoenix Suns (20.4 PPG, 6.1 APG, 4.0 RPG): The only reason Bledsoe ranks tenth and not higher is because he tore the meniscus in his left knee and played only 31 games this year. Prior to his injury, Bledsoe was leading the Suns in scoring while also averaging two steals a game. There are very few point guards in the league that can matchup with Bledsoe’s athleticism and possess Bledsoe’s two-way ability. Hopefully he can rebound from his injury and return t

It is always fun to imagine our favorite athletes playing another sport and wondering how they would do. Who hasn’t wanted to see LeBron James strap up some football pads, or see if Alex Rodriguez is as good at football and basketball as people claim? Well I decided to go ahead and come up with a NFL offense consisting of NBA stars. Quarterback- John Wall, Washington Wizards (6’4”, 195 pounds): Wall has everything you look for when you are searching for a quarterback in a NBA
