  • Fantasy Basketball Draft

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer The following is my main league’s fantasy hoops draft that took place last week, rounds 1-10.

Congratulations Orlando, you’ll win 4-5 more games next season. Losing Darko Milicic in the process is another negative (yes, I kept a straight face while typing that, but barely). Do…

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer 1. Portland Trail Blazers – Greg Oden Not only is he a center in size, he might also be the most athletic player in the draft as well. 2. Seattle Sonics – Kevin Durant The easiest selection in NBA draft history? Can’t bench press 185 lbs. 3. Atlanta…

While the Pistons may have made the NBA Finals more competitive, at least there’s some star power, and…

  • The King has Arrived

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer LeBron James became an NBA superstar before our very eyes Thursday night. Sure, the numbers have always been there, but he also always lacked that extra gear that only the true greats possess. The talent is so obvious, but it was unclear if there was the killer instinct…

    By Dalton Del Don – Senior Writer Utah Jazz (4) vs. San Antonio Spurs (3) Comments: The teams split the season series 2-2, with each team winning its two home games. The Jazz have lost their last 16 games in San Antonio, dating to 1999. Still, this Utah team is no pushover, and anyone completely…
