Sixth man of the year: Meet James Harden

The Oklahoma City Thunder (18-5) are still atop the Western Conference even following a week in which they played .500 ball.  However, one can easily make the argument that any team in the league would be happy going 2-2 after four games against the likes of the Los Angeles Clippers, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, and San Antonio Spurs. On top of that, only the Grizzlies...

Kevin Durant Is A Hater, But I’m Proud Of Him

Kevin Durant is the anti-Charles Barkley.  When asked a question about absolutely anything, the NBA’s cleanest-cut superstar can be counted on to come with one of those predictable, boring, cream-puff answers.  While fuddy-duddies will applaud, call it class, and gush over the young man’s character, I find it to be rather uninteresting.  I want to know how you really...
