BIG3 championship preview: Could the year end in an upset?
The 3-Headed Monsters were my sleeper pick to make a deep run heading into the season. I thought Rashard Lewis had the kind of game that would work well for the construction of the league and that Kwame Brown’s size would provide a plethora of problems for the opposition.

BIG3 Week 8: A complicated playoff picture
It’s the final week of the BIG3 regular season, and we have three teams vying for three playoff spots.

Manu Ginobili gave life to the San Antonio Spurs
There was a time when no one wanted to watch the San Antonio Spurs play basketball. Ironically, this was also the same period of time when the other 29 teams in the Association were playing the ugliest basketball in the league’s history.
Analyzing the BIG3 draft rosters: Who can win the championship?
The Big3 draft was this Sunday, and with the teams set in stone, everything just got a little bit more exciting. Ice Cube’s new basketball league features everything from hand-checking to a 4-point line (where is Antonie Walker when you need him?) and a few current and future hall of famers either playing or coaching.
Former NBA players we'd like to see go back to coach their college teams
Last week, Georgetown University announced that Patrick Ewing would become the new Georgetown men’s basketball coach. Ewing had been lobbying for a head coaching job in the NBA for at least a decade.
The Raiders will forever belong to Oakland
The Oakland Raiders will not be the Oakland Raiders forever, this much we know. While the move will remove the Raiders from their home for the second time in the team’s history, the move doesn’t necessarily mean that the franchise’s identity is altered in any way.

With Joel Embiid out, who should win Rookie of the Year?
Joel Embiid is the NBA’s Rookie of the Year even if he is not the NBA’s Rookie of the Year. He’s been much more than just the best first-year player in the NBA, he’s been instrumental in changing the on-court culture of the 76ers while also being one of the most entertaining men off the floor.
The Aesthetic: Pushing the boundaries of the three-pointer
When Anthony Morrow was drafted out of Georgia Tech by the Golden State Warriors in 2008, I didn’t think that he would become the greatest shooter in NBA history, but I didn’t believe that he wouldn’t become the greatest shooter either.
When it's complicated: Loving Michael Vick
It’s overtime in Minnesota. It’s 2nd-and-8 on Minnesota’s 46-yard line, and Michael Vick takes the snap from under center. There is a play-action to running back T.J.

The definitive play of the 2017 NFL postseason came during the second quarter of the AFC Championship Game. With the Patriots leading 10-6, Tom Brady gave the Patriots their first real cushion of the contest with a first down 34-yard flea-flicker touchdown pass to Chris Hogan.
