The Price Of Gold
Team USA’s biggest advantage at the Paris Olympics is their amazing depth. Not many nations have as strong a starting 5, with the experience, talent and accolades, that the American’s do and that’s not even talking about guys 6-12, most of which would start or star on any other team. This depth was key in their 103-84 win over South…

Off To A Good Start
Team USA began their Olympic campaign with a 110-84 win over Serbia. Kevin Durant was the star after not playing at all during the 5-game showcase leading up to Paris. In a little less than 17 minutes played, KD went for 23-points on 8-9 FG’s (5-5 3-pt). He was absolutely sensational and it was fun to watch the guys on…

Team USA Power Rankings
Since 2000, the United States of America has won Olympic gold 5 out of 6 times, with the lone exception coming in 2004 when Team USA lost to, eventually gold medalist, Argentina in the semifinals. Suffice to say they are once again the prohibitive favorites going into the Paris Olympics. Even after an uneven showing during their 5-game exhibition tour,…

One for the Future: Khaman Maluach
Team USA, again, looked creaky in a thrilling 101-100 win over South Sudan at the O2 Arena in London, England. This was the 4th game of a 5-game tune-up showcase for the Olympics, which begin on Friday, July 26th. It was weird because Team USA was extremely sluggish in the first half and went into halftime down 44-58. They couldn’t…

10 Prospects I’m Interested In: 2024 NBA Draft
The 2024 NBA Draft is regarded as one of the worst in recent history. Now, that isn’t to say a team can’t find a skilled young player, full of potential to bring to fruition or use as a trade asset. It’s just there isn’t a clear franchise defining player. No Victor Wembanyama, no Zion Williamson, no Anthony Davis, no LeBron…

Damian Lillard has officially requested a trade. The Portland Trail Blazers, the organization which drafted him 6th overall, out of Weber State, in 2012, are now at a defining moment in their franchise history. His demand comes on the heels of Blazers GM Joe Cronin opting to draft G-League Ignite Guard Scoot Henderson, with the 3rd overall pick in the…

The Dilemma
Basketball is a business. Yes, I know it sounds like I’m regurgitating a tired basketball cliche but hear me out. At the time of this writing the Boston Celtics are 52-29, 1 game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 1 seed; something I absolutely did not see coming. Isaiah Thomas, traded to Boston from Phoenix, has quickly ascended to…

The Beginning
Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The National Basketball Association is back! Will LeBron James make it to his improbable 7th straight NBA Finals? Can the 76ers finally break the 20 wins barrier? Is Mike D’Antoni going to live up to his offensive guru status and mold James Harden into a PG? Which young star (Karl Anthony-Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Devin Booker, D’Angelo Russell, etc) will…

Kevin Durant Free Agency Destinations
When the 2nd best basketball player on the planet hits the free agent market everyone grabs a ticket and hopes he will grant them a meeting. Kevin Durant, who was originally drafted by my beloved Seattle Supersonics (R.I.P.), has developed into the best offensive player in the world. His unnatural size and length allots him the ability to post up…
