06/26/11 In today's NBA, 6'10", 220-pounders are tweeners, small forwards with power forward height, if not necessarily power forward girth. JaJuan Johnson, a senior out of Purdue who was the Boston Celtics' first-round selection in last Thursday's NBA draft by way of a trade with the New Jersey Nets, is exactly that size, but is expected to be groomed by the Green to be a center. Um, OK. In the year ...
06/24/11 Larry Bird was indeed a legendary force as a Hall-of-Fame forward for Indiana State in college and then with the Boston Celtics in his NBA days. But as a president of basketball operations for the Indiana Pacers, the Hick from French Lick (what a god-awful nickname for one of the best players of all time) is anything but a star.

06/19/11 After further review, Nebraska is the best program in anything. Ever. Better than the New York Yankees. Better than the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. Better than Manchester United's 19 English league titles. Ask their fans. If you say something negative about the Nebraska football program, you may as well be an illegal facing unconstitutional Unicameral legislation. Nebraska is better ...
06/17/11 If LeBron James played the Boston Celtics like he played the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals the end of this season for the Celtics could have played out much differently. The Miami Heat brought their A-game though, and it possibly closed the window a little more for the Celtics and their big three. Could this have been Boston's year if they made a few plays here and there, didn't have Rajon ...

06/06/11 First there was Anfernee Hardaway. Then it was Kobe Bryant and finally, Dwyane Wade . All of these players have Shaquille O'Neal to thank for their first (and only, in Hardaway's case) shots at glory. Unfortunately, the Boston Celtics were not able to benefit from the player that shook the league over a decade ago. In fact, Shaq's minor impact on the team only lasted a few months. With Shaq ... |
