Dwight Howard has tremendous upside
Normally the All Star game is not a big ticket with your intrepid author.
A game with little or no defense has a hard time holding my interest.
In fact, today’s basketball with all the rule changes towards offense has really bothered me in recent years.
But this year may be an exception. The league is just so filled with exceptional talent.
One starter in particular could become a dominant force in the NBA sooner than we think. That man would be Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic.

NFL Football at its best. NFL Football at its craziest.
Chris Paul has the Hornets buzzing
Boston has been winning like there is no tomorrow.
Except this week had a lot of tomorrows. They lost 3 out of 4.
So when Johnny Ludden, Yahoo! Sports came out with his rankings of all NBA teams, there was no way to put the Boston Celtics of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen fame at the top.
At least Johnny admits that the Lakers stay may be short.
Here are the top 10 of the rankings and your intrepid author’s comments in italics.
1. Los Angeles Lakers – …read more

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
John Shuhmann of NBA.com presents his power rankings.
Let’s take a stroll through his top ten.

3. Detroit is on a crazy roll led by Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups.
4. Dallas is fourth and after the rankings went out and beat Phoenix with a strong game …read more
Allen Iverson goes off for 51

Just one Title, one NBA title, is that so much to ask?
Will Allen Iverson go down in history as Charles Barkely junior? You know, having a great career, but never winning an NBA Championship?
Poor little AI knocked down 51 points in a losing effort to the Los Angeles Kobe’s. Allen was 18 for 27 from the field with no 3 pointers and 15 made free throws. Incredibly the rest of the team went only 18 for 53 with 17 free throws.
LA put all five guys and a few from the stands to cover AI in the fourth quarter and held …read more

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
And he shall come from the East and lead them…
Denver is all set up to win the Northwest.
Think about this division. Greg Oden is out for the season at Portland and they let their other big man, Zach Randolph, go to the Knicks.
Seattle is playing for the future with young Rookie of the Year front runner Kevin Durant. They are young and inexperienced.
The Timberwolves are starting the Al Jefferson show and
