Phoenix Suns Close To Making Steve Nash Available
Steve Nash is one of the greatest point guards of all time and one of the best players the Phoenix Suns have ever had. But as the Indianapolis Colts are learning sometimes it’s just better to part ways and pursue another path which is exactly what the Phoenix Suns are very close to doing. According to a report by Sam Amick of SI.com (per RealGM.com) the Phoenix Suns are extremely...

Steve Nash Unsure if the Phoenix Suns Will Trade Him
The twilight of Steve Nash’s Hall of Fame career is being wasted in Phoenix, but there’s no telling (from Steve or the Suns) if that will continue to be the case by this year’s trade deadline. SI reports: “As inspiring as Nash’s play is to the fans and the many teammates who hope they’re still playing — let alone playing well — at his age, the reality...

Nash joins in on the "Lin-sanity"
Has everyone found their seat? Yeah, there is not much room left, I know. We are going to have to get a bigger bandwagon for Jeremy Lin. This guy has been the talk of the town for the last week, and for good reason. It is like Tim Tebow all over again, except the guy is actually good at his respective sport (yeah, I said it).
Lin is getting praise from everywhere -- sports writers...

Mattek’s Unpopular Opinion, A Historic View
•Wilt Chamberlin is legitamately underrated because of the epic run of the Celtics. He may have been the Lebron James of his era, more concerned about numbers than winning, but he was still a force of nature. Putting up 100 in a game is incredible, but not as crazy as averaging 50.6 points a game. With advances in modern medicine and athletics, put him in today’s generation...

Nash hops aboard the 'Linsanity' bandwagon
SACRAMENTO -- As Steve Nash sees it, Jeremy Lin's incredible path from the bench to breakout star is a good, old-fashioned sports story: an underdog athlete playing well, sparking excitement and leading a struggling franchise to victories. It's not, as some have surmised, a story of Nash's old coach, the Knicks' Mike D'Antoni, finally finding a Nash-esque point...

This kid is the real deal and I love every second of it. Yellow Mamba is averaging 26.8 points per game in the last 5 games, all wins. He has more points in his first four career starts than Iverson, Shaq and Jordan. What can’t he do?
The best part about all this linsanity is the fact that the Knicks are playing well on offense, buying into Coach D’Antoni’s system and moving...

Lessons from Dad by Brian Geltzeiler
By Brian Geltzeiler
The game of basketball was taught to me at a very young age more as a philosophy than as a game. As regular readers of this space know, my father was a college basketball player at Newark-Rutgers from 1945-1950. He wasn’t a run of the mill end of the bench player. He was the first player in Rutgers history to score 1000 points and in the 1949-1950 season...

Three NBA drafts are considered head and shoulders above the rest: 1984, 1996, and 2003.
