Before Russell Westbrook came along, Oscar Robertson’s 181 career triple-doubles seemed unattainable. Even Magic Johnson and Jason Kidd both said no one will ever break The Big O’s record.

October 3, 2013 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

Erik Spoelstra sat in the stands inside Cox Pavilion on the campus of the University of Nevada Las Vegas looking very relaxed.

October 24, 2012 by Joel Huerto 1 Comment

The road to the 2013 NBA Finals got a little easier for defending champion Miami. Dwight Howard left Orlando and headed for Hollywood and Joe Johnson left Atlanta for Brooklyn.

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…]

AGENT ZERO GETS CLIPPED BY COMMISH

January 7, 2010 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

When the basketball pundits anticipated the Washington Wizards would have more firepower this season with the return of Gilbert Arenas, they certainly were not referring to the cache of firearms Agent Zero brought to the arena.
