We have seen it many times before. Men in various states of sobriety, fists wrapped around pints of cheap beer, arguing with the passion of Jefferson Smith over hypothetical matchups between past and present. It can be a fun exercise of historical recollection, but it is also an impossible, intractable debate that can only be […]

As Rasheed Wallace walked away from the media scrum in Orlando during Summer League in July, he had to do a double take when a media member referenced him as "Coach Wallace." Seeing a 6-foot-10 man do a double take, especially one with Wallace's history was a sight to see. He certainly did not look […]

Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni took the reigns of the team without a full training camp or the luxury to have time to implement his system.

It is probably one of the best comedies of all time – "Airplane." Now for all you youngsters, the 1980 film was full of one-liners, memorable scenes and gags which had viewers laughing and it included NBA legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar where he starred as pilot "Roger Murdock." Well it seems he will be back […]

Mike D'Antoni's Seven Seconds or Less book explaining the philosophy of the Steve Nash-driven fast-breaking offense ensured that his team, which never made the Finals, would live on forever. Fast-breaking teams around the league have tried to copy this initial success. Not even Nash though has […]
