The NBA "All-Seasoned" Team
What’s that old saying? Like a fine wine, you only gets better with age? Over the past week I watched the San Antonio Spurs climb into top spot in Western Conference. The Spurs will likely wrap up one of the top two seeds in the West come playoff time; doing this all with two of […] READ MORE

First, welcome back to Fast Break. As you already know, the NBA is never short of drama, intrigue, and wicked performances, all worthy of making the night’s ticker. Like you, I feverishly watch the ticker, sometimes many, many times, before finally turning the channel. And when I find a few stories I like, then I’ll […] READ MORE
NBA Knee-Jerk All-Stars (Western Conference Starters)
Coverage of my knee-jerk reaction All-Star continues today (Catch my Eastern Conference Starters here). Again, I am considering the fan vote as part of the starters, so my starter picks shouldn’t really surprise anyone. To me an All-Star game just needs star power in the starting lineup.
