November Marks 15-Year Anniversary Since Andrew Bogut Came Into The League

It feels so bare that there is no basketball being played right now.  Due to COVID-19, the 2020-2021 NBA season was pushed back to December. Due to the shutdown, the season didn’t conclude until last October.

The five players on a basketball team have their positions and responsibilities. One of these positions is the Shooting Guard. Some of the best players in basketball history are shooting guards and that includes Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. A shooting guard can also be called by other names.

Best Kobe Shoes For Basketball If You Are On A Budget

Kobe Bryant's signature models are some of the best basketball shoes ever made and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Kobe Bryant fan. His shoes-- Kobe 6, 8, and 9-- not only look good, but they also blazed a trail for low top basketball shoes. With that being said, the best Kobe shoes are not only limited in the $200 models. Some of the best Kobe shoes for basketball are present in the budget "hundred-dollar or less" models. Let's take a look at some of these: 1.) Kobe Mentality 2 The Kobe Read More

NBA DFS Picks Sept. 9, 2020: Bargain Picks To Consider

It was pretty much good pickings from my last suggestions, with Jae Crowder and Rajon Rondo, but PJ Tucker, George Hill, and Markieff Morris fall way short. However, if you went with Crowder and Rondo along with the number of better options out there, that should net a win in most leagues. In my opinion, the two games tomorrow will provide us a lot of options at the middle, especially on the Toronto-Boston series. On the Nuggets-Clippers series, it's more of hit or miss, but there are still plenty Read More

NBA DFS Picks For Sept. 1, 2020: Bargains To Consider

We were treated to an absolute dogfight in Game 6 of the OKC-Houston series. I did see this coming (kind of) and it's my strategy all along to pick up players from teams facing elimination. That said, I was completely off in my Shai Gilgeous-Alexander prediction. He played almost 40 minutes and was pedestrian, but my Danilo Gallinari pick hit home. Gallo showed up for 25 points, five rebounds, an assist, two steals, and four treys. In summary: Eric Gordon did his job once more, Dennis Schroder Read More

NBA DFS Value Picks Aug. 30, 2020: Best Bargains To Consider

Two series were over on Aug. 29th, but not without some solid performances from the losing teams. As expected, CJ McCollum, Carmelo Anthony, Jusuf Nurkic, and Anfernee Simons all gave it all they got. Simons was especially productive relative to his salary and McCollum and Nurkic both got to the 50 FP territory. If you followed my advice to go for Giannis Antetokounmpo, then you are also rewarded with another 50+ FP performance. Aside from Simons, Terrence Ross and Dennis Schroder were the only Read More

This year's NBA Playoffs 2019-2020 will be different as many of you know - there will be no home court advantage, no fans, no travel.  But the best part is each team will play every alternate day and there will be very little time for adjustments and players to recover from injuries.
