First, another bit of NBA history. The last time I've heard of a Draft that had its first two teams pickup centers was in 1984. The Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers, both drafting on need, picked up who they thought were the best pivot men prospects at the time. The Rockets drafted Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon first overall. The Blazers, snatched up "the best available big," and drafted Sam Bowie at number two. The Chicago Bulls, took a guard with its third pick. Someone named Michael Jordan. Well, we all know how that turned out. read more

As exciting Game 1 of the NBA Finals was, Game 2 was even more so. Again needing another extra period, the loss of Kyrie Irving proved to be insignificant for the Cavs as they again took the fight into the Warriors’ chest, and this time they escaped with a victory from it. read more
