Report: Spurs looked to add Oberto before the lockout
It's plain to see the San Antonio Spurs need more big-man depth.
Tim Duncan is about the only legit big man the Spurs have on the roster. Not to take away anything from DeJuan Blair, and Antonio McDyess but they can only do so much to contend with the big men of the NBA. Matt Bonner is not known for his defense and Tiago Splitter still has yet to prove he can man the paint along...

Poster of the Day 4/26/11: Kobe on ‘Meka
As I’m sure you have all heard (like 253,453 times), Kobe Bryant was questionable to play last night after leaving New Orleans on crutches following game four. He refused an MRI, so I figured it couldn’t be too severe, but then he got off to a slow start, and I had to wonder… until this monster dunk suddenly put an emphatic end to that…
Yep, I’...

Perhaps the better question might be how did the Spurs win a title with Fabricio Oberto starting and averaging four points, or the Lakers with A.C. Green starting and averaging five points.
Bogans has come under the most scrutiny...
