If there is one perfectly fair criticism of Dwight Howard's game that has not changed it is his free throw shooting.

Before Indiana's 91-77 Game Six victory over Miami to force a decisive Game Seven on Monday, Frank Vogel said David West (nursing an injury) told him not to stop the fight. Like Apollo Creed against Ivan Drago, even if he was about to die, he wanted the fight to go on. Pride, country and Rocky […]

San Antonio Spurs' Manu Ginobili's rookie season ended with him winning an NBA title in 2003 and continued in 2005 and 2007. Needless to say he was quite spoiled as his NBA career was still young. But since the 2007 title for San Antonio, it's been six years since a return trip to the Finals […]
