After three remarkable years playing at small Davidson College in North Carolina, Stephen Curry will be taking his game to the NBA after the Golden State Warriors drafted him with the number seven overall pick on Thursday night. Curry, who is the son of former NBA gunner Dell Curry, thrust ...

Four teams in the first nine years in the NBA says something about a player. Nine years in the NBA without going to the playoffs even once says more. Jamal Crawford has been shipped from Chicago to New York, to Golden State and now to the Atlanta Hawks.
Crawford never met ...

That title is what had many general managers sliding Brandon Jennings' name down their prospective draft boards. He's been labeled as selfish, as a showman, and as a one man team. Front office types were asking each other, 'Can Jennings be our point guard?' Some see that type of play ...

Yesterday on SRI I wrote how I hoped Jonny Flynn, my favorite player in the draft, got drafted into a good situation where he'd get lots of playing time. The draft was less than an hour old when Flynn was the second straight point guard (after Ricky Rubio) that David ...

I'm not sure the Cavs are done wheeling and dealing after obtaining The Big Aristotle from Phoenix. As many pundits have pointed out, they could use a scoring power forward to help create some more space for Shaq down low - your Robert Horry, if you will. People are questioning ...

Heavy Metal day apparently continues here on Sports Radio Interviews with an interview with Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz.

I witnessed the best left side of an offensive line in action maybe ever in the history of football during the 2005 season. Left tackle Walter Jones and left guard Steve Hutchinson were the only reason Shaun Alexander won the MVP trophy, and were two-thirds of the reason the Seattle ...
