I noticed the ticker on ESPN displayed new inductees to the Basketball Hall of Fame and one of them was Tracy McGrady. I thought this would be a good time to discuss my theory that even though these athletes have a right to earn a living playing basketball right out of high school, is it [...]
NBA preseason games have already started. Can you believe that? It seems like it was just last week that the Cleveland Cavaliers captured a professional title for that city. But, time flies and here we are. So I thought I would give you a little checklist of what you could do to prep yourself [...]
Lebron James is doing it again. He is re-writing history before our very eyes and making it look easy. The guy is smack dab in the middle of his prime. He is playing the best basketball he probably will ever play and we need to notice this. If you are a basketball fan, you need [...]
Today is part 2 of my interview with Rachel Snedegar (read part 1). Rachel was an athlete I had worked with for speed and quickness development who is currently in her senior year at Otterbein University, playing basketball. Coincidentally, she has two other teammates who I worked with as well. […]

The interview wasn’t just to highlight her success, but also to shed some light on the difference between high school sports and college athletics. College athletics isn’t just for every athlete.

He might have been the advantage the Lakers needed to win Game 7 Saturday night against the Denver Nuggets. Tonight, the Lakers take on the Oklahoma City [...]
I’m in the heart of Buckeyeland, so every now and then I like to make a post about our local teams. Ohio State’s basketball team just made it to their third straight sweet sixteen and will be playing neighborhood “rivals,” Cincinnati tonight. A big part of their success has been Ohio State’s All-American center, Jared [...]
Well, the NBA Dunk Contest was this past Saturday night and Jeremy Evans from Utah was your winner. Yeah, I know, who? Check out my blog post to see who I thought should be in this contest to be MUST-SEE-TV. But, being the NBA junkie that I am, I did watch the contest and all [...]
Quick, can you tell me the four players who will be in the 2012 NBA Dunk Contest? Hurry, time is running out!! I didn’t think so. I only know the names because I’m a fan of the NBA, but let me tell you the list doesn’t WOW me. […]
