Great Point Guards Collect Assists, Not Rings

ShyneIV — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 14:26:04 +0000

TweetHere is the interesting thing though: if the Celtics make the Finals this year and win it, Rondo may end up being the best point guard of the past 20 years to lead his team to a title. Admit it, that sounds ridiculous right? That’s almost like saying that How I Met Your Mother is [...]

Next Man Up: Blake Griffin

ShyneIV — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 14:50:15 +0000

TweetBlake Griffin is a bad man. More bad than Michael Jackson’s Bad video, more bad than Nas’ Ether and more bad than anything Shaq ever said about Kobe Bryant. We have seen players before with incredible athleticism; however not all of them were exactly great or even good basketball players. The names of Darvin Ham [...]

Better Than Advertised: Kevin Garnett

ShyneIV — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 16:11:50 +0000

TweetA few weeks back, I asked a few basketball people to rank these former league MVPs: Steve Nash, Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. There wasn’t truly any consensus as far as the rankings went but for the most part I got answers that went this way: 1. Kobe Bryant (Lakers fans [...]

NBA Conundrum: Hating LeBron And Loving Kobe?

ShyneIV — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 15:12:50 +0000

TweetAfter writing a piece on why in my estimation LeBron James was the league MVP, it wasonly natural for me to expect a huge contingent of Lakers fans to throw jabs at me telling me to get off LBJ’s scrotum, not because they felt as though I was biased towards him; but rather because I [...]

LeBron James Is…

ShyneIV — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 17:50:58 +0000

TweetStill the league’s Most Valuable Player. The public opinion on LeBron James has changed ever since that fateful day on July 8th, 2010 when he announced to the world that he was joining Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. The teammates, the uniform, the coaching staff and the fans might be different, but the [...]

My 1st Ever Lakers Experience

ShyneIV — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 15:20:03 +0000

TweetAfter enjoying my first ever Celtics game about two weeks ago, I guess it only made sense for me to catch a Lakers game as well. So when I checked out the NBA calendar last week and saw that the Lakers were playing in Toronto on Sunday, December the 19th, it was obvious that a [...]

You Make The Call: Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook

ShyneIV — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 13:12:41 +0000

TweetEarlier this week, I had Beckley Mason of HoopSpeak and Ethan Strauss of Warriors World and HoopSpeak come on the SBG Show (podcast can be found here) to talk about some NBA basketball. During our conversation, Beckley made the statement that Russell Westbrook was a better player than Derrick Rose. Now given the fact that [...]

NBA Guard Bless You

ShyneIV — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 01:09:32 +0000

TweetFor far too long, we as NBA fans were stuck with the likes of Stephon Marbury, Allen Iverson, Baron Davis, Steve Francis, Mike Bibby, Chauncey Billups, Tony Parker and Gilbert Arenas as the guys that represented the elite class of point guards. Gone were the memories of set up artists like Gary Payton, Mark Jackson [...]

The Greatest Player Not Named Michael Jordan is…

ShyneIV — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 15:17:16 +0000

TweetFor the most part, we can all agree that Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time. However, rarely do we acknowledge or even discuss who is in fact second on the list. Die hard Lakers fans today would argue that Kobe Bryant should hold that spot, or at worst perhaps Magic Johnson. In [...]

Best Shooter In NBA History?

ShyneIV — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 02:22:00 +0000

TweetAfter watching the NBA for a good 20 years, it’s easy to come up with a few answers based off of memory and perception. We have all seen various NBA players light up stadiums with amazing shooting displays. For instance, I used to love watching John Starks pump fake defenders, drive to the basket and [...]
