The general perception today is that the NBA has become soft. The league was once ruled by grown men who viewed landing a forearm shiver to another player’s chest in the open court on the same level as scoring a basket. The league then was oozing with machismo, resulting in a style of game that […]

Jason Kidd’s tenure with the Milwaukee Bucks was of meteoric nature — a big, flashy, resplendent acquisition to lead a team of young players with great potential, but soon after a dry, stale, burned-down rock without much appeal to it. The former assist king took this young team under his wing, but his old-school ways […]

The Chris Paul era in Los Angeles is long over, but there has never really been that dramatic of a shortage for the L.A.
