The Oklahoma City Thunder are just four wins away from forcing the basketball world to rethink what modern greatness looks like. Their 68–14 regular season is already the fifth-best record in NBA history. This wasn’t supposed to be their time yet. They’re young, homegrown, and built through the draft. No splashy superstar signings. No shortcuts. And yet, here they are, four wins from the top of the mountain. So now the question is worth asking: if the Thunder win the NBA title, where would they rank among the greatest teams of all time? Let’s look at the usual suspects. 1995-96 … Continue reading Where Would This Thunder Team Rank If They Win It All?

Rickey Henderson, Ronnie Lott and Marcus Allen. For as long as I can remember, these have been my three favorite athletes of all time. There is zero debate on my top three. The order maybe, but not the top three. These posters and jersey are hanging up in my new office. The Rickey poster is new, but there is plenty of Rickey memorabilia under it with 30-40 years of age on it. I’ve had that Ronnie poster since high school, what was, ahem, 30 years ago. And the Marcus jersey was a gift I received a year or two after … Continue reading Mt. Rushmore Of Favorite Athletes
With football nearly in the rearview, my focus has turned to basketball, and for me that is mostly college basketball. Yes, the NBA is a better product, but for some reason I always gravitate to watching college more. I can’t explain it. The eye is always toward the March Madness tournament. And who can win it. I’m a fan of KenPom, TeamRankings, Torvik, all of it. One of the things I look at heading in is teams who meet the minimum required rankings of past national champions. Basically, “no team ranked lower than <this> has ever won the title. Criteria … Continue reading KenPom’s Minimum Qualifying Standards

The NFL preseason kicks into high gear tonight with 11 preseason games. Most will tell you not to bet preseason games. I would say the same if you are a casual bettor. But, the pros will tell you it is actually easier to best preseason game, if you pay attention. For the casual fans, I’d say stay away unless you are trailing a pro you trust. Even then, normal betting thought applies. I am not one of those guys good enough to tail. That being said, I have Oakland -5, Buffalo +2.5 and NY Jets -2.5 in week one. What … Continue reading Preseason Betting
