LeBron, Shaq to chase a title together with Cavs
The Cavs are hoping the James-O'Neal pairing can deliver this seemingly sports-cursed city its first major pro championship in 45 years.

Mark My Words | Mark Hale« Five NBA Draft Prospects I'm A Fan Of | Blog HomeJune 24, 2009Heeeeeere's the sidekicks!A few years ago when I was on the Mets beat, my friend Steve Popper from the Bergen Record and I had an NBA debate. I claimed that during the Michael Jordan era that while Jordan was undisputedly the best player in the league, his teammate Scottie Pippen was number-two. Popper thought I was nuts.Anyway, there's no way to really settle that debate - we thought. But as luck had it, [Read more]

REVS: J. Cole, The Warm Up
J. Cole The Warm Up  (mixtape) You can't tell the story of the erstwhile Jermaine Cole without referencing Jay-Z, who, for the sake of this anecdote will play the role of the often ballyhooed, near-mythical Michael Jordan. Jay-Z was unfailingly cavalier in his quest to become rap's greatest spokesman. And despite his dedication and unrivaled work ethic on the court, it didn't quite translate to corner office accomplishments. Sure, there's Kanye West, Rihanna, and Ne-Yo. Helping to propel the [Read more]

The New Top 50
1. Michael Jordan In case you were wondering, this was the least debated slot on the entire list. We're not saying Michael Jordan can never be toppled, but for the time being, based on every consideration we could give, Mike is the one. Pure stats and their place in history? Try 30.1 ppg for his career (first all time). Or 2,514 steals (second all time). Honors? Rookie of the Year, 14 All-Star Games (MVP three times), 10 First Team All-NBA teams (nine First Team All-Defense), five MVP awards (pl [Read more]

Kobe one of the all-time NBA greats
Here are the only players I rate ahead of Bryant at this point in his career (he could climb a few spots before he retires): Michael Jordan, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. I rate him equal to Jerry West; slightly above Magic Johnson, Tim Duncan, Julius Erving, Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal; and way above a group including Bob Pettit, Elgin Baylor, Rick Barry, Elvin Hayes, Moses Malone, Karl Malone, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, John Stockt [Read more]
