Avery Johnson on Derrick Favors: “I think he can be a smaller version of Dwight Howard”

Friday, June 25th, 2010

The New Jersey Nets were the worst team in the NBA last year and they were historically bad.  That is a fact.  However, things could be headed in the right direction in New Jersey.  Not only do they have a new owner with very deep pockets, but they also have ...

Mikhail Prokhorov Brings the “Element of Surprise” From Russia to Newark

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I believe in Mikhail Prokhorov. I was worried about a possible language barrier, yet this ended up being the most intriguing sports radio interview that I have ever listened to. Never mind that he is ten times richer than Mark Cuban, he is ten times cooler and ten times more ...

Jay Z: “The goal is to get to Brooklyn”

Friday, May 14th, 2010

Jay Z is best known for making beats, his piercing rhymes and selling out concerts, but he also happens to be an avid sports fan. He's a part-owner of the New Jersey Nets and a good friend of LeBron James and countless other big-name athletes.  The Nets may seem like ...

Brook Lopez Has Seen the “Light at the End of the Tunnel”

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

They did it! Congratulations to the New Jersey Nets for finally winning their tenth game of the season to escape the record books as the worst single-season NBA team of all-time. More importantly, congrats to the Nets for making some great draft choices recently, most notably by stealing Brook Lopez with ...

Coach K Has No Interest in Leaving Duke Right Now

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

Mike Krzyzewski is one of the most successful coaches in College Basketball history, he has the court named after him at Cameron Indoor Stadium, and he runs a highly successful program every single season. On top of that, he is one of the most prominent faces of College Basketball. Yet ...

In Two Short Years in the NBA, Courtney Lee Has Seen Both Extremes of the NBA

Friday, January 22nd, 2010

When your team is 3-38 at the halfway point of the season and are on pace to set an NBA record for fewest wins in a season, things are tough all over. It’s probably hard to find anything positive about your team and at that point players could be on ...

Kiki Vandeweghe is Fine with the Nets Not Winning Games This Year

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

I’veheard of rebuilding years before, but this New Jersey team isn’t even competitive.  I understand what they are trying to do in building for the future and looking ahead toward free agency in 2010, but they are not even putting a watchable product that resembles and NBA team on the ...

Rod Thorn Talks Draft, T-Will and Vinsanity

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Rod Thorn has always been an impressive evaluator of talent, regardless of whether or not the Nets have been a spectacular team on the court; most of the time, during his tenure, they have been, but there've been some down years. So it makes sense to talk with him about the ...

Terrence Williams to the Nets on Draft Day

Monday, June 29th, 2009

Many people, me for one, thought Terrence Williams was the best athlete coming out of college. Sure Blake Griffin had the most basketball talent, but if you ever saw a Louisville game last year, Williams had amazing hops and showed that he could guard almost any 2 or 3 position ...

Devin Harris Knows What Can Happen To LA

Monday, June 8th, 2009

I'm sure Devin Harris and the rest of the 2006 Mavericks have ugly flashbacks of how they gave up that 2-0 series lead to the Heat in the Finals.  Six minutes away.  Those Mavs were up double digits with six on the clock in game three, six minutes away from ...
