Not many years ago the debate was Allen Iverson’s future basketball Hall of Fame credentials based on his outstanding career with the  Philadelphia 76ers that included NBA MVP honors in 2001 and 11 trips to the NBA All-Star game throughout his storied career.  Now the talk is, will Iverson join the likes of Rashard McCants, Ike Diogu and Michael Sweetney to play in Puerto...

Short but long at the same time. If there is any comfort to be had in Dexter Strickland being lost for the season besides there being a comparable backup available it is the notion that Roy Williams’ coached teams at UNC seem to deal with personnel losses midseason fairly well. Much of that has to do with the deep roster Roy maintains but it also says something about the way...

Before Saturday, the largest margin of defeat for an eventual NCAA Tournament champion in college basketballs modern era occurred in 1993 when North Carolina was drubbed by Wake Forest 88-62. Randolph Childress was scorching hot from the perimeter that afternoon in Winston-Salem, N.C., and the college basketball world labeled the Tar Heels too slow to seriously contend for a national...

Happy Friday, and happy NBA Appreciation Day, everyone!  I was hoping for this post to be about the end of the NBA lockout, but I guess it wasn’t meant to be.  On the bright side, maybe next week!  Also on the bright side, you get another chance to see what happens when I’m forced to pick my brain… As of November 14th, 2007, 33 points was Rashad McCants’...

Rashad McCants is in serious talks to sign with a team in China.

Six years after being drafted in the lottery by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and over two years removed from playing his last NBA game, former North Carolina star Rashad McCants is still saying strange, strange things. Insisting that he was "blackballed" by the NBA after his 249-game stint, McCants painted a pretty picture for the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn (in his...

Rashad McCants will soon turn 27 and still has enough talent to play professional basketball, but is not eager to continue his career.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is reportedly considering signing Rashad McCants.

DeMarcus Cousins has a new tattoo: Yes, it's a difficult-to-read "Misunderstood" with a question mark in the background. This is so reminiscent of Rashad's "Born to be..." set of tatts, I can't believe it.

Q: In the preemptive motion the league filed, they seek to dissolve all player contracts should the union decertify. Shouldn’t that make us Heat/Big 3 fans nervous? Certainly, Micky and Nick wouldn’t let this happen, would they? — Angel. A: That is not what the motion said. The motion said that if the union opts to decertify then it could, possibly, nullify the...

NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. – Rashad McCants endured it. Chris Paul experienced it. John Wall dealt with it. Now, it’s Theo Pinson’s turn.

(By David Scott, dscott@charlotteobserver.com) Here are storylines that will likely accompany the 2012 NBA draft: It should be better and deeper than this year's and potentially include a distinct ACC flavor. "There will be more star power, more talent at the top, with the spotlight on American college kids," said ESPN basketball analyst Jay Bilas, a Charlotte resident...

It's a nice profile sort of article, "Queen of the D-League," about Nancy Lieberman. She's been a trailblazing woman in basketball, and her latest stop's as head coach of the Texas Legends. The article -- it's not available online except as an "abstract" -- is pretty fun; Lieberman calms her team down the stretch at one point by calling over Antonio...

This should be fun. Note this is LOTTERY picks only so Ebi doesn't count. :whistling: Would you consider Donyell Marshall, Luc Longley, Rashad McCants, Corey Brewer, Jonny Flynn, Felton Spencer, J.R. Rider, orrrrrrr Wes Johnson as the biggest bust in Wolves' lottery history. Notice I left out Wally, KG, and Ray Allen/Stephon. :whistling:

A shocking announcement was made last week by Larry Drew II who said he was leaving the North Carolina basketball program. Many people questioned the decision of Drew to desert the team in the middle of the season, but someone who was supportive of the move was James McCants, the father of former Tar Heel, [...]

As the college basketball world is now well aware, Larry Drew II quit the North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team recently. Such a shocking move, mid-season, was sure to ruffle some feathers in Chapel Hill, so I suppose it’s no surprise that some of the Carolina faithful were none too pleased about Mr. Drew’s decision. That said, the heaps and mounds of  dirty laundry...

Yesterday, former UNC player Damion Grant posted well wishes for Larry Drew on his Facebook status saying, "always hate to see a player leave the fam, but no one can judge unless you walked in his shoes. Best wishes lil homie. Nothing but love Drew II." That set off a firestorm of comments on Grant's Facebook wall and led to this response by former UNC player Rashad McCants' father, James.

A package arrived this week from Baltimore, signaling the end of an acrimonious, two-and-a-half-year negotiation. It contained Grant Wahl's Magic Eight ball, which he would use to guarantee a national champ, two months in advance, during his tenure as SI's chief college hoops writer. Wahl moved to the fútbol beat in 2009, taking the Eight Ball with him and then making a...
