EUROBASKET IS CRUCIAL FOR PAU GASOL

September 8, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Pau Gasol took the brunt of the criticism during the 2011 NBA playoffs when the Lakers were swept out of the second round by eventual champion Dallas. Gasol didn’t play his best during the series, and at one point he appeared so out of it that Lakers coach Phil Jackson was seen chastising his star … [Read more…]

VIDEO: DURANT SIZZLES AT MELO’S GAME

September 1, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Usually, an exhibition game in late August won’t feature a cache of NBA All-Stars in one building. But because the league is currently on lockout mode, like some online bingo games, players will run with anyone and anywhere at this point. That’s why Carmelo Anthony’s summer league game at Morgan State became a basketball mecca … [Read more…]

Where does Dennis Rodman rank among NBA’s greatest defenders?

September 1, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Dennis Rodman entered the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011. It’s a deserving honor considering the enormous impact Rodman has had in the sport, especially on defense where he truly (and literally) left his mark. Rodman was an absolute pest on the defensive end, hounding perimeter players and muscling post players with an all-out … [Read more…]

July 31, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Each year, OneManFastBreak.net ranks the five best players in the NBA. The ranking system is based on ONE MAN’S opinion and doesn’t conform to the All-NBA format where you have to pick one center, two forwards and two guards. It is strictly based on last season’s performance, regardless of position, with more weight placed in … [Read more…]

CHILDRESS ON EUROLEAGUE’S UGLY SIDE

July 25, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Josh Childress started his NBA career with the Atlanta Hawks, but spent two seasons in Europe playing for Olympiacos in Greece before returning to the NBA last season with the Phoenix Suns. It’s fair to say that Childress is an authority on the Euroleague. Europe has become a hot-button topic lately, with NBA superstars such … [Read more…]

NBA TEASES WITH ’11-12 SCHEDULES

July 22, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

David Stern and the NBA league office made a very bold but shrewd move by releasing the 2011-12 schedule. By revealing the matchups for the upcoming season – including the very juicy Christmas Day tripleheader that includes the Mavericks vs. Heat, the Lakers vs. the Bulls, and the Celtics vs. the Knicks – it teases … [Read more…]

YAO MING’S 5 GREATEST MOMENTS

July 15, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Yahoo! Sports recently reported that Houston Rockets center and international basketball star Yao Ming is retiring from the NBA. Given Yao’s history of foot problems (he’s only played more than 60 games once since 2005-06) it’s not shocking that the 30-year-old, 7-foot-6 Chinese legend is calling it quits. He missed the entire 2009-10 season recovering … [Read more…]

ONE-AND-DONE RULE NEEDS TO CHANGE

June 30, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Once the old collective bargaining agreement expires at midnight EST on June 30, NBA owners and players need to take a hard look at the current state of the early entry draft. The way things are currently constructed, any American player who is 19 years of age and at least one year removed from high … [Read more…]
