One of the most news-worthy items of the week (from an Aussie NBA fans’ perspective), was John Hollinger’s look at the In-Season All-Improved team. Readers of this blog will know I’m not always a fan of Hollinger’s work, but this time round can I just say a massive THANK YOU John for recognising [...]

A few weeks ago I jotted down my top 10 candidates for the season finale of the Blogger MVP/ROY rankings. They are being hosted by the good fellows at Sactown Royalty, so go check them out – ROY Rankings & MVP Rankings. Below are my rankings in full, and keep in mind they were written [...]

Dwyane Wade won’t win the MVP this season, but he will complete one of the most amazing individual seasons in the game’s history. I think back to Kobe’s ridiculous 2005-2006 scoring binge, an epic season for the ages where in my mind he was [...]

The latest round of the Blogger MVP/Roy Rankings are being hosted by our good friend mookie over at A Stern Warning. Go check them out! As usual, here are my full rankings.
MVP Rankings
10 points – Dirk Nowitzki: I wonder how often Dirk asks himself “what’s the point?”. The Mavs are doomed, they’ll get a low [...]

10 – Shaquille O’Neal: His defensive numbers are as good as his championship season in Miami, he’s shooting a career-high from the FT stripe, and his vertical leap is back over 12 inches. The last time Shaq [...]

A few weeks ago I wrote an article for Hoopcity Magazine about Kobe Bryant and his legacy. Edition #2 of Hoopcity has been pushed back a couple of weeks to accommodate the NBA Finals, so the Kobe article has been published online while the Lakers and Celtics are stilling battling it [...]

PLAYOFF DIARY: DAY 17
I think its about time I started to admit I was wrong about the Hornets. In the first round I tipped them to lose to Dallas in 6 games. Despite convincingly doing away with the Mavs, I then tipped them to lose to the Spurs in 6. I don’t think I was [...]

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. [...]

It’s been a few days since my lazy ass decided to inject some wisdom into the blogosphere, so I’ve got a little catching up to do. This post may be long but I guarantee you will at least chuckle, smirk, or curse at your computer screen.

This was a scary day for me, and indeed [...]
