    G-League To Test New Free Throw Rule: Why I Love This Idea

    NBA.com According to multiple news outlets, the NBA G-League will spend next season as a trial and error period for a new take on free throws. Specifically, they will make each shot worth two or three points. So, if you are fouled on a two-pointer, then you can either score zero or two shots at the line and do so in a single shot. The same rule applies for a 3-point foul. And-one rules will remain the same (shoutout me for crushing the rare occasion for starting a sentence wi

    Can Giannis Win Back-to-Back MVPs?

    Getty Images. Giannis Antetokounmpo has quickly become one of the league’s brightest stars in the Association. Despite being just the 15th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, playing in a small market, and having a below average jump shot in a league that has become all about deep shooting, Giannis has transformed into arguably the league’s scariest player. Last season, he was also the league’s best. Developing every year in the league, Giannis finally showed how far he had come, ave

    How an Impending Duel With Giannis Will Shape Kyrie Irving’s Free Agency

    How an impending duel with Giannis will shape Kyrie Irving’s free agency AP Maligned and cryptic as ever, Kyrie Irving is on a collision course with destiny. Few teams faced as much manufactured drama and disappointment as his Celtics did this season. With Irving’s impending free agency looming large, how Boston performs in the postseason is said to be of critical consideration. That Irving has eyes for New York City is no secret. To make matters worse for the Celtics, Kevin

    Giannis Making His Case for MVP

    Courtesy of Jeff Hanisch of USA Today Sports It’s been a long time since Milwaukee Bucks fans have seen a basketball player on their team play better than anyone else in the NBA -- over forty-four years in fact. It last happened when Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won the NBA’s most valuable player award in 1974. After being delighted over the summer by MVP-caliber baseball from Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich, Milwaukee has been treated to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s unique excellence

    The MVP Race: Christmas Aftermath

    Every year, the Christmas day showdowns are a way for MVP candidates to put an exclamation mark on their case at capturing the Maurice Podoloff trophy. This season, few of the leading candidates managed to truly take advantage of the stage; however some of the more fringe candidates were able to seize the opportunity and use the showcase as a way to catapult themselves up the rankings. Let’s start with every basketball fan’s favorite ex-teammates, Kevin Durant and Russell Wes

    Golden State Warriors: The Movie

    Everything in the current NBA landscape comes back around to the Golden State Warriors. You see it everyday on Twitter. Paul George and Carmelo Anthony teamed up with Russell Westbrook? “Have fun losing to the Warriors in five!” James Harden is the clear front runner for MVP? “Lmaaaoooo Steph better.” Obviously, it’s for good reason. The Warriors are coming off a three-year run where they went 204-39 in the regular season and came within five points of three consecutive champ

    The MVP Race: The Return of the Big Man

    For the last decade or so, the NBA had seen a huge change in the type of player that dominated the hardwood. Due to some convenient rule changes, point guards had become far more important than in previous eras of basketball. These modern point guards were being asked to score the ball more than ever before, leading to blurred lines between the traditional guard positions. Consider this: in the forty years between 1965 and 2004, only one point guard won the MVP award, and tha

    The Greek Freak is Freaking Out the NBA

    Giannis Antetokounmpo has had himself an amazing start to the NBA season. As a matter of fact, it has been a historical start to the season. Giannis came out on a tear and set the internet on fire with his beginning of the season numbers. Through 14 games, no player in NBA history has scored the amount of points, grabbed the amount of rebounds, and dished out the number of assists that Giannis has accumulated through the first 14 games of this season. It is not like this expl

    The Top Players by Offensive Play Type in the NBA!

    The NBA is full of who is better than who debates. Best player, best scorer, best passer, the list goes on and on. Those debates will always rage on Twitter. To find out who is the best you need to break it down. You have to look at the numbers. The numbers can combine with the eye test to tell the real story. They can also disagree with the eye test. That's where it gets fun. Today the NBA is all about pick and rolls and pace and space. 3 point shooting is at a premium. That

    Are the Milwaukee Bucks the Future of the East?

    Heading into the season many had the Milwaukee Bucks as a sleeper pick to reach the postseason. Those hopes all but disappeared when Khris Middleton tore his hamstring off the bone in late September. Middleton is the team's 2nd best overall player (although many would disagree and say Jabari Parker is), so losing him for an extended period of time lowered expectations for the Bucks. We are now in February, and the Bucks are still in the thick of the playoff race. The Bucks ar

    Making Milwaukee Great Again

    The Milwaukee Bucks are the NBA’s epitome of average – at least they have been for the last 30 years or so. Immediately following their inaugural season in 1969, the Milwaukee Bucks drafted Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, turning them into a championship contender overnight. The Bucks would clinch a playoff berth the following season and would go on to win their first and only Championship in just their third season as an NBA franchise. From there, the Bucks would remain one of the leag
