In an excerpt from our latest radio broadcast, Fronte and Brownie comment on the huge divide between the NBA’s elite and the rest of the league. But has the NBA ever been a league where the little guy has a shot?
So here is the deal: this is a ranking of the best players in the NBA (and a little more).
One thing is certain now that the NBA season is over: Stephen Curry can no longer be regarded as the best player in the league. That honor obviously still belongs to LeBron James. But are we sure Curry’s still the best point guard in the league?
Given the way things began, it seemed like these NBA Finals would be largely forgettable. After the Warriors took not just a 2-0 series lead, but a 3-1 advantage as well, it wasn’t a matter of if Golden State would win, but when. Instead, the 2016 Finals turned into a classic that deserves to be dubbed as the greatest in Finals history. Before I explain why, I know what you’re going to say:…
Game 5 got a lot of people talking. Those who thought the series was over have now done a complete 180 and find themselves saying that Cleveland has a legitimate shot to win it all. Those same people who criticized LeBron for his play thus far are now kissing his feet. Pump the breaks people. Why are we letting one game have so much influence on our opinions? Was it a…
LeBron James has been sharply criticized of late-especially by many of us at Check Down. But whether the Cavaliers win this series or not, his performance last night proved one thing: he is a better player than Stephen Curry.
*Record 8-8* And just like that, pressure is on. For me, of course, not for the Raptors or Cavs. I have yet to dip below .500 the whole playoffs and here I am with my back against the wall. So, let’s see how I fair tonight as we have the Cleveland Cavaliers out for vengeance after losing a physical Game 3 to a hungry Toronto Raptors’ team Cleveland Cavaliers @ Toronto Raptors The…
I’ll admit it, I was wrong. If you’ve been reading my NBA Playoff Prediction articles, you’ll know that I was part of the majority who was already assuming the Cavs were going to walk into the NBA Finals. The majority that said the Raptors simply lack the talent to compete with Cavs. And let me make this clear, Toronto still has a lot more work to do if they want…
*Record 8-6* I’m going to try and make this one short and sweet, because I think it’s evident that the Raptors just do not have enough firepower to compete with the Cavs. Lowry and DeRozan are all-stars, but LeBron James and Kyrie Irving are superstars. The Cavaliers are a level up on the Raptors on just about every facet of the game and its shown thus far. Toronto is a young and…
