There is no phrase that rings more true.The expression comes to mind when thinking about the current NBA labor dispute. Both owners and players are entrenched in legal and verbal warfare. Unfortunately, there is no clear end in sight. What has led us to this situation?Throughout sports history, there have been thousands of deals struck. Some were great, some were awful. There were some, however, that truly shaped the way we view sports today. Like precedent set in Supreme Court rulings, there ...

It was the Philadelphia 76ers of the late 1970s, which featured Julius Erving, George McGinnis and World B. Free, then known as Lloyd Free. And Collins (shown right with Free recently) also was a prolific scorer, although he quipped he got his points moving "off the ball.'' The 76ers lost in the Finals in 1977 to team-oriented Portland. Eventually, they realized too many stars didn't necessarily translate into NBA success and McGinnis and Free ...

He was just inquiring about the Coach of the Day promotion now being used to lighten the mood of the most woeful team in league history. Anything to get back to the NBA.

This is Pitino, whose itch to return has grown considerably with ...
