Memphis' new players are a backup power forward and two small forwards who cannot manufacture offense on their own. How effective Tayhsaun Prince will be offensively depends on Mike Conley getting...

Looking at the Memphis-Oklahoma City game and if this is an indication of life since the Rudy Gay trade, then Memphis is going to struggle. Memphis basically will be a team that has no perimeter...

The Black Widow needs a storyline and reason for a movie, though. Any movie involving her will require using other characters' toys given that she has been a supporting character whose interactions...

Unfortunately, it goes back to my original argument: The lack of relevant source material for the character at hand. Baron Strucker and Viper are more Captain America/S.H.I.E.L.D. villains than...

The problem is going to be trying to introduce The Black Widow as a standalone character, given that she really doesn't have her own rogues gallery and her story (both in the comics and the film) is...

The fact that the Superman movie is being rebooted after the rather tepid response to "Superman Returns" (in no small part because of the serious flaws that made it hard to enjoy) should be proof...

The reality is Mark Jackson is not on the ballot for the Basketball Hall of Fame because he hasn't gotten a vote in the past three years. And thatr reality says you don't become a hall of famer with...

Since you only have been following the NBA since the late '90s, here is a contemporary comparison: Mark Jackson was basically Andre Miller with a slightly higher profile.

Both have or had good...

You speak in generalities in all of your posts. I never said anything about guys not playing for a few franchises -- I asked you to name 10 players in the Basketball Hall of Fame you feel are...

Mark Jackson was a mediocre to above average player who played an extensively long time. Numbers may not lie, but they also don't tell the whole story in this case. Raw numbers have to be taken into...

If you can reference any point where Mark Jackson was considered better than most of the guys I named during their primes, then I'm all ears. The fact is Jackson lagged behind most of those guys I...

It was reported on NBA TV on Monday that Scott Skiles turned down a contract extension with Milwaukee and reportedly did not like the direction of the franchise:
...

A six-time All-Star, five-time member of the NBA All-Defensive team, three-time all-NBA player and the 1989 NBA Finals MVP is more than "above average." Also during Joe Dumars' prime, only Michael...

Gary Payton should be a first-ballot lock -- but then again, the Basketball Hall of Fame has...

I don't find it hard to believe. Mark Jackson was an above-average player who had a long career, which is the reason he ranks so high all time in assists. And while he was a very heady floor leader...

More specifically, Joe Webb played like a quarterback who had not thrown a pass all season. It's not as much as Christian Ponder was a better quarterback but his replacement hasn't seen any football...

Here is the question: Is James Harden the guy you want to be your highest paid player on your team? His salary over the next five years will be $13,668,750, $14,693,906, $15,719,062, $16,744,218 and...

I believe you may be mixing up different statements. I said the following:



And then Kalorama said the following:



In my statement, I was comparing Eddie Jones and Joe Johnson, whose...

I believe what Kalorama means is that James Harden seems to be in the mode of people like Eddie Jones and Joe Johnson -- namely, slightly overvalued because they were very good complementary players...

The Joe Johnson in Phoenix was a different player than the one in Atlanta. In Phoenix, Johnson was more of an outside shooter and transition wing player. In Atlanta, the Hawks initially saw him as...

Dwyane Wade gets suspended for his actions Wednesday vs. Charlotte's Ramon Sessions:

Stay classy, D-Wade.

I purposely did not list Damian Lilliard because of the small sample size. I like what I have seen of him, but basically he seems to be very similar to John Wall (Wall is the better distributor and...

John Wall's biggest problem is he is playing for a bad organization that has no direction. Playing on a team with a bunch of misfit players led by lame-duck coaches not only hinder Wall's development...

I will say Dwight Howard is the best player at his position (which is historically weak in depth), but it's way too early to suggest he's hall of fame material. Based on his career so far, I would...

Orlando needed seven games to get past a Kevin Garnett-less Boston team in the second round of the playoffs and beat a Cleveland team that had little around LeBron James in the East finals. In the...
