This afternoon I joined Justin Hull on “The Home Stretch” to chat about the NBA’s new CBA, what moves the Miami Heat might make and if the shorter season will favor veteran or younger teams.

This evening I’ll be covering the North Carolina – Wisconsin game for Score Mobile.
If you’re stuck somewhere without a television this evening – or if you’re watching the game on television but just want more stats and a chance to add your own thoughts on the game – you can join me as I provide [...]

Now that the NBA is back in business, most teams, including the Denver Nuggets, are facing a month-long whirlwind before the games begin on December 25. The worry about missing an entire season is now gone, but the Nuggets must now try and piece together a roster and are facing more questions than answers.

Remember that old adage that you can’t return home? Tut Ruach is proving it’s rubbish.

I had the chance to chat with Will Blalock about where basketball has taken him since he left the Detroit Pistons, the highlights of playing basketball overseas, how he landed up playing basketball in Canada playing in the NBL, mentoring Shabazz Napier and if he will consider being a coach once his playing days are done.

I was able to chat with Lamond Murray about what he has been up to since he retired from the NBA and his new role with NCSA.

I had the chance to chat with Akeem Wright about how playing against a former NBA player serves as a measuring stick for where his game’s at, what brought him to the NBL and what he learned while playing for Bob Huggins at Kansas State.
