April 16 is the final day of the regular season, so there’s close to a month left of basketball. That gives borderline All-NBA players to make a last case as playoff seeding gets figured out. Guys like Chris Paul and Russell Westbrook have chances to boost up their stats since they each missed a chunk…

Despite numerous injuries, the first half of basketball had some great moments. Kevin Durant’s January was exciting, LeBron’s buzzer beater last night was fun and the Philadelphia Sixers 3-0 start seems like ages ago, but we made it to the All-Star break.

I’ll try to post at least a playlist a month. Just a dozen or so tracks that I think people should listen to because everyone always says, “today’s music sucks.” Well, I don’t want people to say that. Today’s music doesn’t suck. Yeah, it’s not Led Zepplin or The Beatles. But it’s still awesome. It’s…

Davis Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Chris Webber, Joe Smith and Patrick Ewing averaged at least 10 points, eight rebounds, 1.5 blocks and a steal during their rookie years. Anthony Davis joined that group last year. Since then, Davis has only increased those numbers. He has quickly become one of the more exciting players in the NBA.…
