5 NBA Players Who’ll Fall Short of Expectations in the Second Half of the Season Basketball, jeremy lin, LeBron James, Marcin Gortat, NBA, NBA All Star Game, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Ricky Rubio, Ryan Anderson | Comments Off
There have been plenty of half-season heroes in the National Basketball League before—Yao Ming comes to mind. But to be great, to be a truly exceptional player like Kobe and LeBron, a player has to battle through the rigors of an 82—oops I mean 66—game season and be able to play at an All-Star level throughout the regular season and right into the playoffs. It’ll be harder to do that this year because of the condensed schedule, weary legs and banged-up bodies. So to help separate the half-season All-Stars from full-season All-Pros, we’re going to break down the five players ...

Ranking the Biggest Player Surprises of the NBA Season Thus Far Basketball, jeremy lin, Luol Deng, Marc Gasol, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Rankings/List, Ricky Rubio, Ryan Anderson | Comments Off
There have been many surprises this season, ranging anywhere from Jeremy Lin's emergence, to the play of the Atlantic-leading Sixers to the horrendous play of the 4-26 Charlotte Bobcats. That's what makes the NBA so great. You never know what could happen, as evident by the Golden State Warriors' upset of the Dallas Mavericks in the playoffs and Derek Fisher's famous shot with 0.3 seconds left. It'd be quite interesting if some of these players on this list continue to succeed at the professional level. Hopefully, some of these players won't be one-hit wonders and they'll go on to have stellar NBA careers. ...

Jeremy Lin vs Ricky Rubio: Which PG Sensation Has Been the Bigger Surprise? Basketball, jeremy lin, NBA, NBA Atlantic, New York Knicks, Opinion, Ricky Rubio | Comments Off
Jeremy Lin has hijacked the NBA, and with his Saturday night showdown against fellow point guard prodigy Ricky Rubio, we'll get another look at the couch-surfing Harvard grad who has taken the league by storm.The Shao-Lin warrior went straight bonkers against Kobe and the Lakers on Friday night, dropping 38 points and seven assists in 39 minutes. He pulled his usual herky-jerky routine, slicing through the lane at will to either set up an open teammate or finish a surprisingly pretty layup.It was his fourth game playing major minutes, and not-so-coincidentally, the Knicks fourth straight win. He's averaging 28.5 points ...

by Sam AmickFiled under: Bulls, Clippers, Hornets, Knicks, Nets, Nuggets, Rockets, Timberwolves, Warriors, NBA RumorsTo steal a headline from our friends at SI.com, talk about a 'Melo-Drama.' There was hardly a breather between LeBron James' "Decision" and the saga that surrounds disgruntled Denver star Carmelo Anthony. Yet after months of speculation about the level of his discontent, it has finally been established that the Nuggets are listening to offers for the three-time, All-Star small forward after he has left their three-year, $65 million extension offer unsigned for months. This is no free-agent process. It's a potential trade that comes with a long ...

Did Rubio Con A Kahn Or Was Minnie Marburied Again? Part 3 of 3 David Kahn, NBA, New York Knicks, Ricky Rubio | Comments Off
David Kahn’s move, to draft Ricky Rubio despite his immediate inavailability, was right out of Red Auerbach’s playbook. Kahn has shown that he doesn’t give a focused on building the Timberwolves. Any harm to the Knicks is not personal, just collateral damage.
