Charlie Villanueva Beats The Bucks With A Three-Point Dagger
Back in the summer of ’05, Charlie Villanueva was selected seventh overall by the Toronto Raptors. A versatile combo forward out of UConn, Villanueva was brought north of the border to join budding superstar Chris Bosh in a promising frontcourt for the future. Though Charlie got off to a pretty solid start averaging 13 points per game on 46% from the floor and 33% from downtown...
Toros promote Jenkins to head coach
As we spoke about when former Austin Toros head coach Brad Jones was hired as an assistant with the Utah Jazz, the Toros had two assistants that they could easily promote to replace Jones, especially since they've been part of the Toros franchise since under Quin Snyder's reign.
Spurs Sports & Entertainment did just so, promoting Taylor Jenkins to the head coaching...
Video: Spurs' Jackson goes through grueling offseason workout
The offseason is usually when NBA players kick back, travel, and enjoy the down time before reporting to camp and taking on the rigors of another NBA season.
It's a time for them to unwind, relax and let their bodies heal but not for Spurs' Stephen Jackson.

Looking back at the 2003 Draft
Gery Woelfel and I look back to June 2003 when D Wade came out. According to Gery, the Miami Heat was trying to decide whether to take Tenn PG TJ Ford or Marquette 2G D Wade.
TJ Ford Has A Diamond-Encrusted Road Runner Belt Buckle
Is Twitter not the greatest thing ever to hit the internet? I mean, seriously, how the hell else would we find out that TJ Ford has a blinged-out, multi-color, cartoon belt buckle? Without Twitter I suppose we simply wouldn’t know, and that would be a damn shame, because I think I speak for most NBA fans when I say that this is something I’d like to be aware of. Not everybody...
Video: Mills ready for Spurs’ system
Picking up a player this late in the season to help with the playoffs seems kind of pointless. No matter how talented, you can’t just stick a guy on the court, point him to the hoop and say “go!”
Luckily, the San Antonio Spurs know what they’re doing. When they signed Australian point guard Patrick Mills, they got someone who could fit right in. One of the Spurs’ assistant...
T.J. Ford on what could have been
Recently retired San Antonio Spurs point guard T.J. Ford is always going to have his list of “what if’s.” What if he hadn’t gotten badly injured in his rookie season? What if he had been able to play out his full career without the constant fear of permanent paralysis? What if he had reached his full potential? What would that have looked like for Ford?
If you ask him, he’ll...
Video: Mills' highlights vs. Kings show he belongs
The San Antonio Spurs looked down under in Australia for a guard to not only fill the void left by T.J. Ford, but to also find a player who will fit the mold of what the Spurs look for in a player and provide Tony Parker much needed rest during games.
Enter Patty Mills.
Mills has played two games for the Spurs and against the Kings, he proved San Antonio might have added another...

Barring any last minute hiccups, it looks like it’s just about a done deal. A bit more paper work and Australian point guard Patrick “Patty” Mills will be a Spur. This is exciting news for San Antonio Spurs fans. Mills is a very talented player who should be a nice back up to Tony Parker with T.J. Ford gone. He’s very eager to get back out on the NBA floor and show what...

T.J. Ford is contemplating retirement.
Report: Spurs, Anthony Carter have mutual interest
When back up point guard T.J. Ford went down, it left a void on the San Antonio Spurs roster. They no longer had an experienced back up for Tony Parker. For the time being, Manu Ginobili and Gary Neal will split that time because as back up point since the Spurs are slightly reducing Manu's workload while he recovers from last week's hip flexor injury. The trade deadline...
Trying to make sense of the Warriors’ Richard Jefferson trade
So, the Warriors on Thursday ended the second Stephen Jackson era before it could even start, sending Captain Jack to the Spurs for Richard Jefferson, the presumably retired TJ Ford and a conditional 2012 first-round draft pick.
While I like to think the Warriors have always tried to make themselves better, it’s trades like this that make me wonder which brand of glue the suits...

Saying goodbye to T.J. Ford
I always had high hopes for T.J. Ford. I think a lot of people did. When he led the Longhorns to the Final Four back in 2003 he just had the look of somebody that was going to be a special player.
Unfortunately, sometimes injuries trump potential.
We will never know what Ford could have been. A freak injury during his rookie year resulted in spinal surgery and the loss of an entire...

San Antonio Spurs Point Guard TJ Ford Retires At Age 28
Scary injuries happen all the time in professional sports, and they generally act as some of the most sobering moments for players and fans alike. Such was the case in the 2003-04 NBA season when then-Milwaukee Bucks point guard and rookie T.J. Ford landed hard on his tail bone, suffering a serious injury that ultimately required spinal fusion surgery. Now Ford is 28-years-old and...
