As expected, Gilbert Arenas decided to opt out of his contract with the Washington Wizards and will test free agency. Can't say I blame him, as now is as good a time as any to cash in - the talent pool for point guards seems alarmingly thin, yet teams are really starting to focus...

Leon Powe was a dominant force in Game 2 of the NBA finals tonight as the Celtics cruised to victory against the Lakers. Powe's 21 points in 15 minutes sparked what should have been a rout had it not been for the Celtics' lack of concentration at the end which allowed the...

Age 27 is supposed to be the breakout year for young sluggers, but for Alex Rios, it's been his breakDOWN year (HA!). Instead of building on his .297 average, 24 homeruns, and 85 RBI in 2007, the 2008 Rios carries just a .261 average with 3 homeruns and 24 RBI. That puts him on...
