Why Isn’t T-Hard In The Hall?

by Leave a Comment

Recently, Tim Hardaway gave an interview to HoopsHype where he asserted that he hasn’t been voted into the Hall of Fame for non-basketball reasons: “the reason I'm not in is because of what I said in 2007 about gay people. That's why I'm not in right now, and I understand it. I hurt a lot of people's feelings and it came off the wrong way and it was really bad of me to say that.”  Hardaway was appropriately conciliatory about his past comments and seems to accept that basis for not getting into … [Read more...] about Why Isn’t T-Hard In The Hall?

NCAA Tourney NBA Style

In the honor of the start of the NCAA tourney, we thought we could take a brief look at the All-Time starting five for each of the 68 tourney teams, ranked by their NBA career accomplishments.  A few prleims: -We know it is sort of antithetical to rank by NBA career when college accomplishment can be very different than NBA accomplishment (see, for example, Christian Laettner versus Kyrie Irving at and after Duke). -In putting together a team, if two players are close, college … [Read more...] about NCAA Tourney NBA Style

MVP Droughts

by Leave a Comment

I was just watching a feature regarding how Giannis Antetokounmpo has a very real chance of breaking the Bucks’ MVP drought.  Milwaukee hasn’t had an MVP since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won the award back in 1973-74.  As great a year as Giannis has had, it’ll be tough to overcome James Harden’s prolific scoring output.  But this year's horse race doesn’t interest me yet.  We can get back to that nearer to the end of the season. For now, I was more interested in going down the wormhole that is MVP … [Read more...] about MVP Droughts
