Devin Harris is averaging 21.5 points and 6.5 assists a game this season, including a 47 point outburst against the Phoenix Suns in November. He recently earned an All-Star reserve nod, and he’s done his best to make the Dallas Mavericks regret trading him to the Nets for Jason Kidd.

I am here to defend a different maxim, one that fellow writers across the internet have long stood behind. That position is such: popularity is in no way an indication of quality. Public opinion may be held in reverence, but it does not settle matters of real importance. This is particularly true in the issue of fan voting for the NBA All-Star Game.

Maybe it’s because of the stagnant economy or an increasingly aging fan base, but the crowds aren’t turning out like they used to. Good seats are still available for virtually every game, even match-ups with ranked opponents. UConn women’s basketball fans seem to all have hit autopilot and said, “Wake me up when it’s time for the Final Four.”

Air Canada Centre is recognizing a milestone anniversary this month. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Canada’s premier sports and entertainment venue, sports fans and concert enthusiasts are invited to Air Canada Centre’s 10th Anniversary Public Skate on Sunday, February 8.

Just minutes after the Grizzlies defeated the Washington Wizards to snap their 12 game losing streak, I talked to Darius Miles about his motivation to come back, his new role as a veteran, and any possible feelings he may have towards the Portland Traiblazers.

With January over, we are officially in the home-stretch of the college basketball season. And for the fourth time in as many weeks, we have a new number one.

With his additional minutes and touches on the offensive end, Charlie Villanueva averaged 20.2 points and 7.0 rebounds in just 29.7 minutes of playing time in January. While his contributions on the offensive end are impressive, it’s his efforts on the defensive end that will dictate how many minutes he earns this season.

After a lengthy pre-game shootaround with Fred Jones, I stopped Eric Gordon on his way to the locker room and asked about the effects this challenging season has had on him, his mentors on the team, and how to fix in the Indiana Hoosiers.

As we all know, the months leading up to the NBA Draft can make for an overwhelming flurry of inside scoops, conspiracy theories and rumors from all around the internet; this year appears to be no different.
