Sorry Kobe haters, number 24 is the league's most valuable player this year. Also published at... MVP: Kobe Bryant, Los Angeles Lakers It's amazing that Kobe Bryant has been in the NBA for ten years but has failed to garner one MVP trophy. While this may not be Kobe's best season in terms of

The things that make a team win are subtle, and often elusive.

A shooter's touch. A willingness to pass. A defensive stand. A deflected ball. You can try for these things every time out, but you are only going to get them on some of nights. Even if the effort and the skill is always there, the winning still blows in and out of town like a weather system.

Famously, that is how i...

Marc Stein on Trade Rumors (via True Hoop)

Dirtlocker points for: Brandon Bass, Channing Frye, Devin Harris, Josh Howard, Jarrett Jack, Dirk Nowitzki, Travis Outlaw, Sergio Rodriguez, Jerry Stackhouse, Greg Oden, Mark Cuban

ESPN's Stein writes the definitive article on the rumors so far, putting things in a lot of nice context. He has some new specifics, introducing names like Brandon Bass and Sergio Rodriguez to the equation. Stein also includes word from some sources that the whole thing may already be dead.

Just When We'd Given Up On Athletes' Blog Thing (via Sports By Brooks)

Dirtlocker points for: Baron Davis, Donovan McNabb, Greg Oden

When it comes to books *authored* by athletes, we've always been dubious of ghostwriters. That is, until we started attempting to read edit-free blogs written by athletes. We find most of them to be spectacularly narcisstic and boring, with a few notable exceptions (Gil Arenas is the best read). Yardbarker.com is a sports community that's [...]

Dirtlocker points for: Greg Oden

Greg Oden was the guest of honor for a big birthday bash last Friday night. Too bad he couldn't go. The PORTLAND OREGONIAN reports that the Blazers rookie had to miss out on the scheduled celebration held at the Roseland Theater. Over 800 attendees paid the $15 cover to partake in the music and intake in [...]

Well, as we near the All-Star break and most teams have played at least half their games, it's time to start looking at who is in the running to take home some hardware. MVP: Chris Paul. Paul is steadily producing at a hall of fame level this year and as a result, he has the Hornets on top of the Western conference. I have no problem saying that he's the best point guard in the league, because...

Brandon Roy is really, really good (via Yardbarker)

Dirtlocker points for: LaMarcus Aldridge, Tim Duncan, Brandon Roy, Greg Oden

The Portland Trail Blazers have been one of the biggest surprises this season, despite the fact that #1 overall pick Greg Oden has yet to play a single game due to micro-fracture surgery. The main reason has been the young combo of Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge. Roy has been nothing short of amazing in his second year, being a great all-around player for the Blazers. Read the full breakdown...

Dirtlocker points for: LaMarcus Aldridge, Andrea Bargnani, Matt Bonner, Brandon Roy, Greg Oden

ESPN's Thorpe grades the sophomore class, and there is a ton of interesting stuff. There were a lot of good players in that draft, but in hindsight they were not drafted in anything like the appropriate order.

Not surprisingly, Thorpe ca...

DON'T SPOIL IT FOR ME! I haven't been able to go home and watch my TIVO so I don't know how the Blazers pulled off another amazing victory! Stop it people! Yes, I have a job! And Yes, I had to work yesterday during the Blazers game, and Yes I heard about our Dramatic Win!

A lot of people in the league have been whispering around a name that a lot of people know nothing about. The whispers have been getting louder and louder. The rumors have been spreading like wildfire. Not much is known of this boy named Rodolfo Farres Fernandez. The rumors are saying he is the best guard ever to come out of Europe, and guess what he is coming to America! So I decided to fill ...
