Donaghy's Not Alone: Gambling in Sports
While the sports world still considers the ramifications of NBA ref Tim Donaghy and his little Mob ties/gambling/game fixing/Steve Nash-screwing situation, it's important to put this in a proper context. While Donaghy's case is one of the most high-profile in recent memory, here are some other high profile gambling-related incidents with sports personalities from years gone by.
N8 not Gr8, but not really so bad either
As expected, the Knicks beat the Sixers last night. The offense has looked nice, and Nate Robinson seems to be on a mission to prove that his Vegas League MVP was no fluke. You can't take preseason games too seriously,...

Winning the Slam Dunk competition usually gets you a trophy and some cash. But if you are part of the New York Knicks it gets you some time on the David Letterman Show. I think Nate Robinson showed the world just how charismatic he can be. And of course my favorite part is when he [...]

Great Players Can Never Play in Fear of Turnovers
TNT's Doug Collins says that Steve Nash and Jason Kidd are two players who never fear committing a turnover. Some stat systems suggest that a turnover is the worst thing that can happen but there is a difference between being a great player who makes many productive plays and commits a few turnovers versus a player who is much less productive but commits almost as many turnovers.
Tying Up Some Loose Ends Regarding "Awful Analysis"
After I tried to set the record straight regarding whether Kobe Bryant or Steve Nash is a better player only to receive a response that focused more on facial hair than basketball, one of my regular readers summed up the exchange quite nicely: "Don't feed the troll." The thing is, though, if you don't feed the troll it doesn't stop him from being a troll and may convince some people...

February 17, 2009
Okay, let's just be honest here. Nate Robinson may not have fully deserved the 2006 NBA Slam Dunk Contest Title, but he sure earned it this year. Nate battled the defending champion, Dwight Howard, in the Finals and one-upped the ultimate gamesman in the end. Together they put ...

Dwight, Nate....And Lebron?
Way for Lebron to go ahead and make everything about him. Nate Robinson and Dwight Howard put on a heck of a show for everyone, with Robinson winning, but Lebron's announcement might have been the biggest highlight....Dwight Howard was much more impressive overall, and I think the markets their respective teams play in came into play, but not a bad show. In fact, outside of everything...

I didn't really ever realize it until this picture, but Steve Nash is totally your friend's dad. Let's run down the reasons from head to toe:Side part - Your friend's dad Steve doesn't want you to notice that his hair is thinning. On days when he's feeling particularly rebellious, he parts it the other way.Exposed chest hair - Steve can't hope to contain...

If Kobe Misses the All-Star Game, Who Should Go in His Place?
Filed under: Warriors, Lakers, Western, Jazz, NBA All-Star GameKobe Bryant has a very busy All-Star weekend planned. Not only is he scheduled to start in the All-Star game itself, but he's also slated to go up against the likes of Steve Nash and the ridiculous Jason Kapono in the Three-Point Shootout...
Why Sam Makes Me Angry
Well, the Raptors pretty much handed a win to the Knicks Friday night, showing a complete lack of enthusiasm and an inability to get a hand in the face of a guy who will shoot any opportunity he gets (Crawford). I mean seriously, the dude jacked up 16 3-point attempts. SIXTEEN! The great thing about some of those attempts is that they hit the board like the balls were filled with...
Reader Response: Bosh, Amare, Howard or Oden?
There is an interesting discussion going on over at the Moonblog. Who would you pick of the four if you were building a franchise right now, Amare Stoudemire, Chris Bosh, Greg Oden or Dwight Howard?
There is probably no wrong answer here, but I think I'd go with Dwight Howard. He's an absolute stud inside and he's only 21. He's still devoloping his offensive game...

More exhibition action from the college basketball scene, this time between the University of Washington Huskies and the Div2 Western Washington University. UW won easily but I think what was great to watch was a return to the kind of run and gun guard-oriented offense that we've missed the past couple of seasons.The Huskies will score, early and often this season, that is certain...

Our man Saul chips in with tonight's Sixers game thread. After last night's thrilling win over the Lakers, the Sixers head
directly to Arizona tonight to play the Phoenix Suns. The Suns have
been an interesting team to watch this year. They began the year with a
