By: Kevin Sawyer At the beginning of this season, I made some bold predictions about how the MVP race would turn out. Now that we are heading into the All-Star break, let’s turn those predictions into reality. KG might have the thing locked up, but here is how I would rank the candidates if I…

Rasheed replaces Garnett in All-Star game (much to his chagrin)
With Kevin Garnett unable to play in the All-Star game due to an abdominal strain, David Stern selected Rasheed Wallace as a replacement. Wallace has publicly said he’d rather not attend the weekend’s festivities, but Flip Saunders thinks he’ll figure out a way to have fun. From…

Return of Nazr
I always thought Nazr Mohammed got something of a raw deal with the Pistons, so I’m happy to see him flourishing with the Bobcats. Since being moved, he’s averaged 10 points and almost eight boards in 24 minutes a game — and in his first game against the Pistons last month down…

Pistons host Blazers
(It was either this video or the insanely awesome interview Oden did with Miss Gossip, which I’m 99% sure already graced the pages of this site.) Oden may be lost for the season but the Trail Blazers have surprised everyone by staying in the playoff hunt. They won 13 in a row at one…

Joe Dumars wants you to stay in school
This is from 1991, and I actually remember it the first time around. It’s really a throwback to a different era, and I’m not just talking about the short shorts — the “highlights” consist of solid fundamentals: a running hook, a jumper and a steal.

Stern rebuke
In case you hadn’t heard, David Stern made some pretty strong comments regarding the Sonics. It looks like the Sonics are pretty much headed out of here and all that’s left is for the city and the Sonics to negotiate a price, although the city remains adamant they want the team to…
