C'mon, BCS. One is a 9-time All-Star and 1st ballot Hall-of-Famer who has been on the All-NBA 1st, 2nd and 3rd team more times than not in his career. The other is a great defensive player, but only a 2-time All-Star. I'm not about to compare a 9-time All-Star to a 2-time All-Star in any...

In all fairness, Portland could never get over the hump because they never had enough talent in the post. They had a great backcourt with Dame and CJ, plus a very good coaching staff led by a Sooner legend :-). Dame was clearly a better overall player than Holiday, but I would agree the latter...

J Fears had his best statistical game in the Summer League last night with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 turnovers. I believe it was his first game with more assists than turnovers. His 3-point shooting remains abysmal, but overall, seems to be getting better every game. Keep it...

I do not foresee a scenario where Joe C makes a decision on BV. We've had this play out in the past. I still laugh when people say that Donnie Duncan hired John Blake. Duncan had as much to do with Blake's hiring as I did. Duncan still had the title of AD, but Steve Owens was calling the...

I I was at that game and thought there were three - Fears, Wolf, and the Michigan center. I was obviously wrong about the last one. There wasn't anyone else on that court that was an NBA-caliber player. Jalon Moore was the 4th best player in that game.

That move has resulted in New Orleans being selected as the Draft's "biggest loser". My guess as to their management's thinking is that even if the Pelicans aren't that good next season, they should at least be competitive. That would put the pick somewhere in the 10-14 range UNLESS they win...

This is only a great trade for Atlanta IF Porzingis can stay on the court...throughout his career, has he even played in 50% of the games? That has seemingly been the Hawks problem for quite some time. If they can keep their guys on the court, this coming year should have their best team in...

I read that as well (directly below)...$10-15 million difference...that's a lot of money for a rookie to leave on the table. Fears #5 in this latest Mock. https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/45559441/2025-nba-mock-draft-latest-first-second-round-predictions-all-59-picks

To this day, it's the toughest sports loss I've ever had to digest. As an LA Lakers fan, Dallas Cowboys fan, LA Dodgers fan, and of course, OU football fan - I've lost count the number of big losses through the years, but nothing really comes close to that 1988 title game. The OU football...

Congrats to those who follow the OKC Thunder. Great drafting was the catalyst which earned them this title. If they stay hungry, they won't be one-and-done with title rings. If you think 1988 haunts someone who wasn't born, imagine what it does to people like me who remember every waking...

For whatever reason, Bliss did not want to be at OU any longer. If I had to guess why, it would be that he figured it would be a long-term career-killer since OU was about football and Barry Switzer. Bliss clearly mailed in his last season at OU, then left Billy Tubbs with virtually nothing...

You and Wichita are correct. I forgot about that. Regardless, in looking at that 2021 NBA Draft, how many players would have been selected over him in one of those hindsight re-drafts? Cade Cunningham and Evan Mobley, definitely...maybe Scottie Barnes. Anyone else? Four years is enough of a...

Obviously, no one saw this coming or he would have been drafted. During one of the Lakers playoff games, the announcer and commentator agreed that Reaves is the best undrafted NBA player since Ben Wallace. OU has done pretty well through the years with players who weren't expected to...

Perhaps not my best choice of words, but how many other top-25 / top-30 all-time college hoops programs would hire a head coach who: 1) was a walk-on college basketball player, 2) has no previous head-coaching experience at any level, and 3) has very little assistant coaching experience at any...

I wonder if he's at least interviewed for head coaching jobs at mid-major schools. The only time he has been away from dad was about 15 years back when he had a brief run at App State under Jeff Capel's brother, Jason. That didn't work out too well. He basically has a choice of waiting for...
