George Gervin -- Defensive Stopper?
Posted 41 hours ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
Every once in a while you stumble over something where you say, "Huh?" As a lawyer, it is generally a case in some jurisdiction where the law is the complete opposite of what it is everywhere else b/c some judge in 1974 decided that was the law...
LeBron's Regular Season
Posted 42 hours ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
While I have taken to ripping LeBron in the Celtics series, I just want to note that I am really a huge fan. LeBron this year put up 30-7.9-7.1. There are only 2 other players in the history of basketball who have had seasons where they went 30-7-7 or...

Posted 46 hours ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
Next week I take my annual jaunt to upstate NY to interview kids for the "Maven Family Scholarship" at my old high school. Unfortunately, due to the school's schedule and my schedule and my sister's schedule, I didn't get a final date scheduled until...

Some Thoughts On The Celtics' Current Series
Posted 69 hours ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
First, I watched all of the postgame on TNT last night. Why? Because this is really the only series that interests me (OK, I am sure that if the Lakers lost that I would be real happy and might watch the post-game of the deciding game, but really,...

Bob Barr to Run for President
Posted 4 days ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/05/12/bob-barr-to-run-for-president/ I find it more than a little irnoic that Bob Barr will run as a "Libertarian" when he led the Congressional prosecution and indictment (i.e. impeachment) of Bill Clinton...

Stereotyping -- Guys Who Play Like a Good White Player
Posted 7 days ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
Here is what you do: toss out all guys who aren't qualified for awards based upon too few minutes played. Then ask, "What is a good white NBA player supposed to be able to do and not do?" 1) Shoot free throws extremely well -- think Steve Alford, Mark...
Guys Who Are Not A Threat To Pass The Ball.....Well
Posted 7 days ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
These are 10 guys listed on nba.com as "guards." As a coach you put them on the court and say, "um, just shoot it" because their drives and pass attempts end up as turnovers and they rarely get an assist: 10th worst Kirk Snyder -- turns it over 1.4...

Hall of Fame Monitor for Current Players
Posted 7 days ago at Hoops and Other Pop Culture
basketball-reference.com keeps this predictor. It appears that they don't rate anyone who is less than 6 years in the league (LeBron, Wade, Dwight Howard, etc. don't have a rating). The worst HOF member that I could locate? Calvin Murphy -- HOF...
The Clintons

The Wall Street Journal decides to toss a shovel of dirt on the grave of not only Hillary Clinton, but Bill Clinton. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121028913821779151.html?mod=opinion_main_review_and_outlooks In the 1994-95 season, I recall that...
