The NBA season is back! After a busy summer where multiple All Stars changed teams, let's take a look at the Top 10 starting / finishing lineups for the upcoming season. Since some teams such as the LA Clippers have talented bench players (Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell) that play crunch time minutes, I will be ranking the best 5, as in the 5 that will probably finish most games. So for the Lakers for example even though they are projected to start AD at PF with Kuzma on the bench, I would assume they would finish with a small ball lineup of Davis at the 5 and Kuz at the 4. And since Kuzma is clearly the 3rd best...
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...
Now that the regular season has finished, it's time to look at my predictions for all the awards and NBA Teams. I will look at the Top 10 candidates in order for the MVP award and the Top 5 candidates for all of the other awards. Most Valuable Player 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks (60-22) (GP 72) 27.7 Pts, 12.5 Reb, 5.9 Ast, 1.3 Stl, 1.5 Blk 58% FG, 73% FT , 26% 3P (0.7 3PM), PER 30.95 Unstoppable offensively and dominant defensively, the Greek Freak lead the Bucks to the best record in the league and should be rewarded with the MVP. My last blog here went into detail on why Giannis Antetokounmpo should win his 1st...
Fear the Beard or Fear the Deer? Who's gonna win the MVP? I have been flip flopping back and forth for the past couple months... It has to be Giannis. But wait Harden just had back to back 50 point games!.. It has to be Giannis. But wait Harden just had 60 points and 30 games in a row with 30!.. It has to be Giannis. But wait Harden just had a 50 point triple double and is leading a team full of scrubs to a winning streak in the West! This is what has gone through my head in this incredible race, maybe the best MVP race of all time. Both players are completely unguardable and unstoppable one...
In 1997 at All Star Weekend the NBA gathered together the 50 greatest players in History. Now over 20 years later I am going to rank 20 more players to join the list. These 20 players all played in the NBA this century and almost half of them are still playing. First let's take a look at the original list: Some legendary names but there have been so many great players in the last 20 years that it is time for an update. This is a new list so I won't be including previously snubbed players from the All Time 50 such as Dominiuqe Wilkins, Bob McAdoo, Alex English and Bernard King. McAdoo a former league MVP...
