Well at least in my lifetime.
This list is based off of what I have actually seen. Not what I have been told from uncles or past coaches or from the old heads in the barbershop. If I didn't see it, then I can't vouch for it. There is no denying the greatness of Oscar Robinson. And dude sure as hell doesn't need my random blog to validate...

Gary Payton's Fear: Not Having His Jersey Retired In Seattle
It’s hard not to mention the Seattle Supersonics and not think of Gary Payton.
Whether he was talking trash our scowling at opponents on his way to earning the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award in 1996, or throwing half court lob dunks to Shawn Kemp on the break, there’s no doubt “The Glove” and his No. 20 Sonics jersey would one day hang from the rafters in Key Arena...

Miami Heat ‘Free-agent Focus’: Jason Richardson
(When the lockout ends, the Miami Heat will be limited to no more than the mid-level exception to spend in free agency, which should fall somewhere in the $5.5 million range. That’s if it exists at all in a new collective-bargaining agreement. Otherwise, there might only be the veteran minimum to spend, which would be roughly $1 million for 2011-12. This is the 20th in a series...

ASK IRA: Could lockout aid Heat in free agency?
Q: Suppose the labor dispute doesn’t settle until December or January (which I think is likely). Similar to the NFL situation, teams would have a week or so to sign and trade players. Does that level of urgency benefit the Heat’s chances of landing quality free agents? Players would have less time to “mull” offers and negotiate, so it seems like they&...

A Lesson the Current Lakers Roster Can Learn From the 2003-04 Season
Regardless of the current lockout situation occurring in the NBA, the Los Angeles Lakers still have major work to do.
