Iverson’s Place in History thumbnail

I always thought the end of Allen Iverson’s career would come in a flash. Too strong was his love for the game, and at the same time, too strong was his own pride, to let his career unravel slowly. He would not let us see him become a ghost of his former self as so many veterans do.

It gives me no pleasure to find out that I seem to have been right.

I was able to chat with Tyler Hansbrough earlier this week about already becoming a fan favorite in Indiana less than a month into his rookie season, what it was like to play an NBA game in Charlotte earlier this month and he talked about the toughest part of the transition from NCAA basketball to the NBA.

When Rashard Lewis was in Toronto this weekend I talked with him about where his fascination with shooting three’s came from, what he learned while playing with Ray Allen in Seattle and he talked about the kinds of shooting battles he has in practices with Vince Carter and J.J. Redick.

Hoops Addict Reflects on the Passing of Abe Pollin thumbnail

Mr Pollin wasn’t just the longest tenured owner in the NBA (46 years), or the man who brought an NBA title to Washington D.C. in 1978, or the man who allegedly ran Michael Jordan out of town back in 2003. To me, as a D.C. area native he represented a revitalization in the previously deserted Gallery Place/Chinatown region of downtown Washington D.C. He represented an unselfish owner who built the Verizon Center, risking much of his own fortune in the process.

With current 3-Point Shootout Champion Daequan Cook in town last Friday it gave me a chance to talk with Cook about what it’s like coming back from a shoulder injury, what he’s doing to get back into a groove shooting the ball and the touching story about how he “adopted” a family in Miami.
