Why James Harden — not Russell Westbrook — should be No. 1

Nobody is going to laugh at you and question the pick. In fact, there’s a good chance many will agree with it. Jim McCormick made a strong case for drafting Westbrook first, and he even found a way to weave the great Oscar Robertson into the story to support his case. More people play on […]

Prokhorov turns Nets into contenders

“It’s a star-vehicle town,” Nederlander assured Steinbrenner after the young shipbuilder left Cleveland to take the wheel of a sinking ocean liner. Steinbrenner’s Yankees set the big-city standard for pursuing big-ticket talent, for trying to buy championships without offering apologies to those without the stomach (or budget) for the fight.

Smith. That should’ve been […]

Fantasy Forecaster: Feb. 4-10

As fantasy owners, Bayless is one of those players we’d like to see in a bigger role. Now in his fifth NBA season and with his fourth team, the 24-year-old has only 39 career starts to his credit. But in those games, Bayless is averaging 16.4 points, 5.4 assists, 1.2 3-pointers and 84 percent foul […]
