In 1983, people weren’t really taking Mike Krzyzewski and Duke very seriously. They also weren’t geeked up over Bobby Cremins at Georgia Tech. Duke was coming off a 10-17 season, which only improved to an 11-17 season in 1982-83.
There’s a reason Cavaliers legend Mark Price still comes up whenever the conversation turns to elite shooting. A stat making the rounds points out that as of 1989, just three players in NBA history had recorded a season shooting at least 50 percent from the field and 90 percent from the free-throw line.
Yeah, I remember where I was. I remember exactly what I threw at the television, too. And it’s been nearly 37 years since Michael Jordan forever changed the course of two NBA franchises.
The Houston Rockets may not have been able to overcome the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in NBA Cup action, taking a 112-109 defeat, but there were a few positives for them to take away from that contest.
The regular season is important, but NBA legends are made in the playoffs. More specifically, it's the Finals where the all-time greats have built their otherworldly reputations.
Being tall tends to give you a better chance at success in basketball. Sometimes, though, players are so good that despite being short by NBA standards, they make a significant impact on the league.
For the Cleveland Cavaliers, nothing went as planned in the playoffs. An amazing regular season was followed by a second-round thud, with the Cavaliers losing in five games to the eventual Eastern Conference champion Indiana Pacers.
Quite possibly so. One of the greatest, if forgotten plays in ACC history came in 1986 when Duke’s Johnny Dawkins drove along the baseline and went up for a shot, only to realize that somehow, Georgia Tech’s Mark Price had stripped him on the way up.
Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry is considered one of, if not the best, shooter in NBA history. There are others in the conversation, including Ray Allen, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Reggie Miller and Larry Bird.
Politician Vivek Ramaswamy — who is expected to run to become the next governor of Ohio in the 2026 election — was in attendance for the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Tuesday bout against the Boston Celtics.
Georgia Tech has one of the most storied traditions in college basketball. The school produced some of the best players in NBA history, especially point guards.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
There were a lot of classic elements in this game Arguably, the 1980’s were the peak of ACC Basketball. You had Dean Smith’s UNC program, Lefty Driesell
It was the end of the era and it caught everyone by surprise. That included Mark Price, the four-time All-Star who had spent his entire career with the Cavaliers.
Yes, Hoops Wire Live on 330 to Go has tipped off its second season, which means it’s almost time for the Cavaliers to start. This time, I’m joined by Aaron Conrad, the host of the podcast from Cavaliers legend Mark Price (Mark Price for 3).
Price was a brilliant guard who was underestimated for most of his career. Big mistake. For whatever reason, NBA types weren’t sold on Mark Price coming out of college.
ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith went on a major rant about Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards’ comments about Michael Jordan being the only skilled player in previous NBA eras.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft released a statement on Dr. Price’s passing on Sunday. The New England Patriots announced the passing of team physician Dr.
The Houston Rockets have a good one in rookie Reed Sheppard. Everyone is starting to learn about the immense potential of the former Kentucky Wildcats star in the NBA, as he’s been putting on a show in the Las Vegas NBA Summer League.
Tracy McGrady has raised eyebrows by sharing his list of the five greatest shooters in NBA history. While it is inevitable that when someone shares a list like this, a big name gets snubbed, McGrady surprisingly left out two of them, Ray Allen and Larry Bird.
I joined Cavaliers legend Mark Price on his Mark Price For 3 podcast to talk NBA playoffs — not just Cleveland. We also discussed some of the other series and covered other topics, along with show host Aaron Conrad.
Milwaukee gathered a lot of attention when they traded for high-scoring guard Damian Lillard. He and Giannis are a formidable duo, but I am not sure they are a recipe for regular-season success.
The best word to describe the 1986 NBA Draft is tragic. This wasn't an all-time worst draft, but there were too many draft picks that didn't reach their full potential due to injuries or off-court issues -- most notably substance abuse.
