The TrashTalk MVP Ballot

I promised when I was slamming the MVP award that I’d be back at the end of the season with my ballot. I’ve been thinking long and hard about the MVP for a couple of months now, and in reality, the decision for MVP is no easier now than it was back in early March. [...]

The Dolphins Respond

Back on day 1 of the 2007-2008 season I set out the challenge for any player to match Kobe’s unappreciated day 1 effort of 45pts-8rebs-4ass-4stls. Three-quarters of the way through the season, Lebron responded to the call, and sticking to my word I donated $10 to the Dolphin Research Institute along with a little letter informing [...]

Bloggin the Mavs vs Lakers

I’ve had this game circled in my calender for a while. Nothing beats two high-scoring Western Conference teams fighting for playoff spots with barely two weeks left in the season. The Lakers still in the hunt for that #1 seed out West, while the Mavericks are playing just to stay alive in the playoff race. [...]

CP3 is the MVPOATWTBRITWC! and Hoopcity Touches Down

Ric, you’ve done it again. One of the best articles I’ve read about the MVP in recent years was this piece from Ric Bucher, where he looked at all the MVP candidates, didn’t award the MVP to anyone, invented six spin-off awards, talked about short skirts and sluts, and suggested his 3-year-old daughter might eventually [...]
