My 75 Greatest Players Ever

In honor of the NBA's 75th Anniversary, the league announced they will be making an updated list of the 75 Greatest Players to have ever played in the NBA. So I will also make my own list and to be fair to all generations and to give a fair and true representation to the history of the game, I will firstly be selecting 10 players from each era (50s/60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s) with the 50s and 60s sharing since there were so many less teams and talent in the early 50s especially.  * Note that just because a player is chosen for a particular decade, I will still of course be including his whole Career and have...

Who are the Top 50 Players in the NBA?

After an unexpected Playoffs and a crazy NBA Free Agency where multiple stars switched teams, who are the current Top 50 players in the NBA? As I will be focusing on the upcoming season, I will not rank rookies like Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett as it is impossible to predict a ranking for them before seeing them play one game. I will also not rank Kevin Durant or John Wall as they are both expected to miss most if not all of next season both with a Ruptured Achilles, otherwise KD would be seriously considered for the Number 1 spot.  However I WILL be ranking Klay Thompson who also suffered a serious Torn ACL because Klay is...

NBA Finals Preview. Golden State Warriors vs Toronto Raptors

It's that time of the year again, the NBA Finals is here with a distinctly different flavour as we open the Finals without the 2 marquee players from the last 2 Finals - Lebron James and Kevin Durant.  In fact this will be the 1st time since the turn of the decade that King James will not be there after making 8 finals in a row between 2011-2018, 4 each with the Heat and Cavs. And for the first time we will be going North of the Border where basketball is exploding thanks to the exploits of a certain Kawhi Leonard, carrying his new team to uncharted territory. But this isn't the young Sixers or inexperienced Bucks, they are now facing the 2 time Defending...
