In his first game of the season Tuesday night, Zibanejad assisted on Jim O’Brien’s second period [...]
I don’t try to make a habit of saying too much about waiver-wire pickups, but when that waiver wire pickup is a young arm who has been touted to have the best stuff in his organization…well, it’s probably worth a few words. Said arm would be Sam Dyson, formerly of the Toronto Blue Jays, and [...]
One of the recurring images of the Charlotte Bobcats’ 2012-2013 season is opposing players shooting wide-open threes. The Bobcats tend to collapse into the paint on dribble penetration and overload one side of the court defensively. Subsequently, opposing wing-players are left open beyond-the arc. That’s why the Bobcats are the worst in the NBA in [...]
The chase for five-star defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes (Auburn, Ca., Placer) and former USC commit is shaping up to be a four-team race between UCLA, Notre Dame and an outside shot given to Alabama, because he has not cancelled his visit to the Tide.

Marshall Henderson has emerged on to the college basketball scene by making big shots and not being afraid of showing his emotions on the court.

A lot of basketball fans want to see LeBron James in the dunk contest. However, LeBron has always turned down pressure to join the contest. To me, this makes no sense because All-Star weekend should be about entertaining the fans. Luckily for us, a fan by the name of Chris Thomas has a brilliant idea. [...]
The week leading up to Super Bowl XLVII has been quite exciting for members of the Baltimore Ravens considering all of the questions surrounding Ray Lewis being linked to PED. However, the argument can be made that Joe Flacco has found himself in a more difficult situation after making inappropriate comments about his feelings towards [...]
While Andy Dirks may not be the sexiest name in MLB, he certainly has gotten a lot of attention among baseball purists. The Detroit Tigers outfielder is a flat-out ball player. He never turns in a clean jersey and has tremendous feel for the game. All of this cannot be denied, but it takes more [...]
Raphael Varane scored a late equaliser on his ‘El Classico’ debut to save Real Madrid from a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Copa del Ray. Barcelona took the lead after 50 minutes thanks to Cesc Fabregas, following a woeful clearance from Jose Callejon. The first half saw both sides come close to taking the [...]
After reclassifying to the 2013 class, Dakari Johnson, the nation’s top ranked center and 12th overall in the ESPN Top 100, slashed his list of potential schools down to three.

Aaron Gordon, the 7th-ranked recruit for the 2013 class, has narrowed his college choices down to three schools - Kentucky, Arizona, and Washington - but isn’t in any hurry to decide. The offers aren’t going anywhere as a player of his caliber can afford to make his own timeline. It’s likely Gordon won’t commit until the spring as [...]
Throughout the years, the Kentucky Wildcats have made it a trend to heavily recruit the nation’s top prospects . This season has been no different as the boys in blue and white lead the country in recruiting yet again as they have received commitments from five players up to this point.

Julius Randle, one of the nation’s top high school basketball prospects, is expected to miss the next three months of action after suffering a fractured right foot in a game against Duncanville during the Thanksgiving Hoopfest. “It was pretty much a freak thing because I didn’t step on anyone’s foot or anything, I just came down [...]
