NBA All-Star Saturday Night falls flat

February 16, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

NBA All-Star weekend is easily the best all-star showcase among the four major professional sports leagues. Even though it is far more entertaining than the NFL Pro Bowl or MLB’s home run hitting contest, this year’s event fell a little flat. The new Sprite Slam Dunk Contest format failed to recognize a true champion. Sure … [Read more…]

PITINO SAYS HE ‘MARVELS’ AT CALIPARI

April 2, 2012 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Rick Pitino’s Louisville Cardinals fell to John Calipari’s Kentucky Wildcats in the national semifinals Saturday. It was a gallant effort by the Cardinals, but in the end the Wildcats’ enormous talent was just too much to overcome. Kentucky has been without a doubt the best team in college basketball in 2012, boasting six potential NBA … [Read more…]

SWEET LOU SHINES IN PHILLY VS. D.C.

October 17, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Lou Williams scored 53 points in Saturday’s exhibition at Calvin Coolidge High School in Washington, D.C., featuring D.C.-area players against ballers from the Philadelphia area. Let me say that again . . . Lou Williams dropped 53 points in a game! I hope 76ers coach Doug Collins was watching because we may never see Sweet … [Read more…]

October 10, 2011 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward and Washington, D.C. product Kevin Durant has been on a tear this summer, but his OKC teammate Los Angeles native James Harden has been straight up ballin too. Harden, who attended Artesia High School (Calif.), went head-to-head with Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant and held his own. But Kobe … [Read more…]

SFL CLASSIC: TEAM LEBRON VS. TEAM WADE

October 9, 2011 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

With the absence of a new NBA collective bargaining agreement – and neither side isn’t budging at this point – basketball fans are stuck with glorified scrimmages organized by the league’s superstars. The latest installment of this very expensive pickup game is Saturday night’s exhibition game in Miami featuring a team led by LeBron James … [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…]

POINT GUARDS DOMINATE OPENING WEEK

November 5, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The 2010-11 NBA season is under way and the league’s elite players and powerhouse teams are monopolizing the headlines. Also, point guards are off to fast starts: Rajon Rondo established a new mark in most assists through the first five games, and Derrick Rose at one point was leading the league in scoring, Chris Paul … [Read more…]

2010 NBA DRAFT DAY WINNERS AND LOSERS

June 25, 2010 by Joel Huerto 2 Comments

Zzzzzzz. Zzzzzzz. Is the draft over yet? Man, that was a snoozer. I think ESPN should re-hire Stephen A. Smith just to give the draft a jolt. That was like watching paint dry. Or, maybe ESPN should hand the draft over back to TNT so we can listen to Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley make … [Read more…]

NBA DRAFT: THE 10 BEST PROSPECTS

June 23, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The NBA’s version of the New York State Lotto will commence Thursday night at NYC and Commissioner David Stern will be front and center. Most experts believe Kentucky point guard John Wall will be the first player taken in the 2010 NBA Draft. From then on, it’s a total crap shoot. OneManFastBreak Editor and Publisher … [Read more…]
