Charles Oakley v. James Dolan: A Closer Look At Mutual Destruction

by Leave a Comment

This week a federal judge dismissed a civil action filed by Charles Oakley against James Dolan and the Knicks.  This caught my attention because I didn’t know Oakley had filed a lawsuit against them.  I did recall Oak getting thrown out of a Knicks game for nebulous reasons a few years ago.  Now, with the dismissal, I thought we could do a little post-mortem of the actual lawsuit and what it tells us about Oak and the Knicks. The Incident On the night of February 8, 2017, the Knicks’ … [Read more...] about Charles Oakley v. James Dolan: A Closer Look At Mutual Destruction

The Kobe FAQ

by Leave a Comment

It’s hard to fully process the terrible circumstances surrounding Kobe Bryant’s death last week.  Yes, there are other tragedies in the world that are worthy of note (as well as eight other people, including young children who died with Kobe) but this was horrid on many levels.  Rather than dwell on this terrible part of his story, I thought this would be a good time to do a detailed FAQ (as we have with a bunch NBA greats who have retired), remembering his story and some of the forgotten … [Read more...] about The Kobe FAQ

Post-Finals FAQ

by Leave a Comment

The Finals are over and we are left with all sorts of questions/issues. Let’s run through all relevant news… Should the Warriors have played Kevin Durant? With all due respect to the Raptors, KD is the first question on everyone’s mind.  There was a much discourse about what Durant owed the Warriors and whether he was pushed to play.  The answers are not so simple.  It was pretty clear that the Warriors were much less likely to win without Durant and that he was not 100%.  The bigger … [Read more...] about Post-Finals FAQ

Looking Back At The Marques Johnson Trade

by Leave a Comment

On the heels of our deep dive into retired numbers, the Bucks announced they would retire Marques Johnson’s numbers.  My initial reaction was that Johnson was a great player but I wasn’t sure he was good enough or beloved enough in Milwaukee to get the honor.  I vaguely recalled that his departure from the Bucks was a complicated story.  I thought it would be fun to take a look back at Johnson’s Milwaukee tenure and assess if the detailed reviewed of his career and trade all these years later … [Read more...] about Looking Back At The Marques Johnson Trade

The Mitch Richmond FAQ

by Leave a Comment

During the 1990s, Mitch Richmond was one of my favorite players.  He was a big strong two-guard who could hit the three or overpower guards in the post.  I hadn’t thought much about Richmond the last few years but he has been thrust into the spotlight again because of nostalgia about his Run TMC days and his recent election to the Hall of Fame.  Was Richmond really a Hall of Famer?   Let’s take a deep dive: Richmond’s College Career Richmond spent two years in a junior college before … [Read more...] about The Mitch Richmond FAQ

The Run TMC FAQ

by Leave a Comment

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Golden State Warriors attempted to compete with a fun, high scoring, perimeter-oriented team, affectionately nicknamed Run TMC, a pun on the popular old rap group Run DMC.  In this case the, “TMC” represented  T(im Hardaway), M(itch Richmond), and C(hris Mullin).  Hardaway, Richmond, and Mullin all scored over 22.9 ppg in 1990-91.  This fun team scored a lot of points and even upset a much higher ranked Spurs team in the 1990-91 playoffs.   Right before the … [Read more...] about The Run TMC FAQ
