For a year and a half now, I have bored you with my opinion of the game, sorrowed with uninspired swagger. Well, I am tired of it. I know you are too. So what to do to cure the ailments destroying mine and your love of the NBA? Hire a professional. So since I am in the lovely state of New Jersey, I thought it would be great to start there.
In my quest for an experienced and intelligent NBA blogger, Dennis Velasco of …

Remember Magic Hour? The one hour talk show hosted by Magic Johnson and was canceled within its first two weeks on UPN. It’s not an insult if you don’t, because it was the biggest abomination of a show in this and the next generation. Actually, you probably saved a few days or months of your life. It was an embarrassment. Not interesting, intriguing, intelligent, or what in-adjective you can think of to say the least. It was God awful.
Now, with this Melo …

Throughout his career, Vince Carter has encountered a lot of scrutiny from his fake injuries to the abandonment of Toronto. He is the ultimate ‘what if’ player who if “he focused and put together all of his prototype talents in his prime, how high does he rise.” Carter was blessed with unbelievable talents.
