Ball Don't Lie has been ranking the best at each position for the past decade.  And when it comes to power forwards… none had a better run than Kevin Garnett. Despite the hype, the yelling, the commercials, the fawning on-air tributes from Bill Russell, and (a second time, just to be sure) all the yelling. [...]

I don't like Pau Gasol.  I really don't.  That's not a comment on his basketball ability or anything like that.  It's just the mere sight of him makes me regurgitate.  Do you blame me? But this year, he's my basketball version of 2 girls 1 cup.  First… he and his Lakers won the NBA title.  [...]

Asked if those ‘things’ [...]

Chuck and I were swilling beers last night and talking hoops and just marveling at Kobe Bryant's 3rd quarter in Game 1 of the Finals.  Simply put, no matter how much we hate that guy, he put on an amazing show.  The Lakers looked unbeatable.  But… they're not. First, the Lakers have a horrible habit [...]

"I wish we would take more advantage of our height and the inside game, because it's pretty effective. It's unfortunate that we don't recognize it enough," Gasol said, according to the Daily News. "It's frustrating because we lose games," Gasol said, according to the report. "I don't mind when we win, because the bottom line [...]
