Bulls Set To Sign Free Agent Tracy McGrady

The Chicago Bulls didn’t win the big prize in this summer’s free agent sweepstakes, with LeBron James opting to sign with the Miami Heat. They’ve made some nice acquisitions despite that, however, and appear to be on the verge of signing well traveled shooting guard Tracy McGrady. McGrady is very receptive to joining the much improved Bulls, though there are a couple of contingencies that need to be worked out before a deal is finalized.

At this point, the major issues to be worked out before a deal is made concerns McGrady’s health and his role with the team. McGrady played only 30 games with the New York Knicks last season as he recovered from microfracture surgery on his left knee. These issues will be addressed on Monday, with McGrady working out for the team and having a physical examination.  Read more...

Play Better Defense In NBA Live 10

When it comes to the game of basketball, scoring may be pretty but defense wins championships. That sentiment is true whether you are talking about real life action or NBA Live 10 for the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. In both cases, it won’t matter how much you score if you can’t stop the other team from putting the ball in the net. So, if you have your sights set on winning NBA Live 10 tournaments for both video game consoles, you’ll need to pay attention to the following defensive tips.

First, it’s important to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your team on the defensive end of the floor. Take a look at your starting roster and determine the best defensive match-ups, along with potential issues your squad may deal with, depending on the opposition. Is your point guard slow moving laterally, meaning he will struggle to contain speedy players like Rajon Rondo, Chris Paul and Deron Williams? If so, you may want to consider switching your shooting guard onto the opposing point guard, using your poor defender on a weaker opposing player. On the other hand, you may have undersized big men, meaning your guards will have to keep themselves between their men and the basket. If your center is a shot blocking force, you can try the opposite strategy. Instead, identify your center on the court and force the opposing ball handler to dribble towards him. In this case, an open lay-up will often end up spiked back towards the shooter. So, what’s the underlying theme? Understand your roster, identify match-ups and adjust accordingly.  Read more...

Who’s The Best Fantasy Basketball Player?

With the basketball season about to start, many fantasy basketball leagues have begun to form. Some are in the midst of drafting as we speak. If yours is coming up, I hope you should be lucky enough to end up with a top pick. If you are, there are some great options this year.

There are great players to choose from, there’s no doubt about that. However, I see how it can be a difficult decision, and I’d like to help you out a bit. Let’s take a look at the potential contenders at number one this year.

If you’re into the idea of getting an elite point guard, you’ll have to look no further than Chris Paul. No basketball player has been more effective than Paul during the last two years.

Paul’s well rounded game gives you stats that you’ll typically get out of no other point guard. The most assists in the NBA, the most steals in the NBA, and a point guard who shoots over 50% are all really hard to pass up on.

If you’re looking for someone bigger, there’s always LeBron James, thought by many to be the best ordinary basketball player. LeBron’s well-rounded style suits fantasy teams really well. No forward gets more assists than James does.  Read more...

The World’s Most Popular And Best Selling Basketball Shoes Of All Time Is The Air Jordan Shoes.

The Air Jordan shoes have consistently been among the best selling basketball shoes since their creation in 1985. The Jordan brand is a household name and people of all ages and social strata line up eagerly for the release of the latest model. Some of this success can be attributed to the fact that the shoes, from the Jordan 3 to the most recent model, have always started with their namesake, Michael Jordan.

Designers of the Air Jordan shoes; takes Michael Jordan’s ideas, hobbies, and also incorporate his life aspects all into the shoes. Numerous of the Air Jordan’s have been designed after one particular aspect of Jordan’s life his cars. Many continue to wonder when the Air Jordan brand will retire; some are suggesting the Jordan 23 be his last to honor his overall success as wearing that number as an athlete on the court.

Lakers Make Bold Move With Odom Contract

After weeks and weeks of rumors and chatter, everything about Lamar Odom’s situation is clear as day.

Lakers fans celebrate the extension of their valuable forward, while the Heat wonder what could have been had they succeeded in signing Odom. Additionally, the fact that they didn’t sign Odom is a legitimate blow to the team’s chances of extending Wade after his contract expires this season.

Does this success on the Lakers’ part lock up another NBA ring for the team in 09-10? I do think they’ll win – however, I think they would win again with or without Lamar on their squad.

With Odom on the team alongside Ron Artest, I really can’t see any way an analyst can put any team ahead of Los Angeles when compiling pre-season power rankings. They’re simply the strongest team in the league.

When you combine the prowess of Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest, and Lamar Odom, it’s really difficult to deny the power of this NBA team. No other roster competes with the likes of such an amazing depth of talent.

This is simply an unstoppable roster. I’ve never witnessed a foursome as strong as this since I began following basketball twenty years ago. And I don’t see how anyone can dispute that.  Read more...

No Moves in Denver. Will the Team Regress?

The Western Conference has seen many moves, especially when it comes to teams like Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Dallas. Every team has put its best foot forward in trying to emerge as a leader in the West. Last year’s Western Conference finalist, however, the Denver Nuggets, haven’t done much, if anything at all.

The Nuggets team began a new life with the acquisition of Chauncey Billups. Previously a fringe playoff team who was never expected to go past the first round, the Nuggets closed out the season stronger than ever before with 54 wins and playoff series wins against New Orleans and Dallas.

With extreme momentum on Denver’s side, the aggressive and determined Nuggets were able to compete against the first place Lakers, tying the series up at 2-2 before getting defeated two games afterward.

The Denver team has made no moves during the off-season, notwithstanding the extension of Chris Anderson. It’s puzzling to think that the team believes it can build on last year’s performance having made no new additions to the team. Los Angeles added Ron Artest; how will Denver keep pace?  Read more...
