I’m not going to pretend to be objective in this post. In the past couple of days, two of my favorite people I’ve encountered during my time covering the D-League—either in person or via the Internet—received big news in the form of new jobs. Mike Gansey, who last played in the D-League during the 2009-10 [...]

Last year’s D-League Select Team surprised a lot of people by posting a 3-2 record in the Las Vegas Summer League. This year the team suffered a bit of a sophomore season drop-off. They were more of a known commodity and finished a disappointing 1-4. The lone win came in dramatic fashion on a 3-point [...]

Now that LeBron James has decided to join Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in South Beach, the Heat has to find and sign the complementary pieces to complete what they believe is a championship puzzle. The three-player foundation alone puts them in the discussion with Boston and Orlando as the cream of the crop in [...]

Today is July 1, 2010, so it is my moral obligation as a basketball blogger to connect whatever I write to the fresh-out-of-the-oven free agent that is LeBron James. Yesterday, the D-League Select Team roster was announced. For the second straight year, the D-League Select Team will compete against teams fielded by individual NBA franchises [...]

I’ve got Olympic fever, and the only prescription is a D-League column gimmick! The 2010 Winter Olympics will come to a close on Sunday. From curling to hockey and snowboarding to figure skating, the events of the Olympics have provided something for everyone. Although personally I’m more of a Summer Games fan (not to mention [...]
