Shoving incident could haunt Marcus Smart for rest of his career

February 9, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

It was the dumbest move of Marcus Smart’s young basketball career. On Saturday, Feb. 8, the Oklahoma State All-American guard lost his cool and shoved a Texas Tech fan during a heated exchange. Smart claims he heard the fan throw a racial slur at him, but the fan vehemently denied it. A day later, having … [Read more…]

Stevens could face rough road in Boston

July 4, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The Boston Celtics dropped an atom bomb on the news wire Wednesday when the 17-time NBA champions hired Butler University coach Brad Stevens to succeed Doc Rivers as head coach.

‘Fab Five’ era is vastly overrated and overhyped

April 9, 2013 by Joel Huerto 5 Comments

The pregame festivities at the 2013 national championship game between Michigan and Louisville took a backseat to five guys who for some reason have been anointed as God’s gift to college basketball. Meet Jalen Rose, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson, Jimmy King and — yes, most notably — Chris Webber, also known as “The Fab Five.” … [Read more…]

Beilein’s coaching gaffes hurt Michigan

April 8, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Michigan head coach John Beilein has no one to blame but himself after his Wolverines lost to Louisville, 82-76, in the 2013 national championship game at the Georgia Dome.

Aaron Gordon may be next Blake Griffin

April 3, 2013 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Aaron Gordon is one of the most talented high school players in North America, and he certainly didn’t disappoint at the 2013 McDonald’s All-American Game in Chicago.
