Well, Prokhorov gave away a whole bunch of future assets to be decent for a few years, Derrick Favors was shipped to Utah before his rookie season ended, and now the Nets are going nowhere for the foreseeable fut
He was a walking triple-double during his outstanding 19-year career in the NBA. J.Kidd made it to 11 All-Star games with five First Team All-NBA selections, but the MVP award never came his way as a result of tough competition and talent in the league at the t
They balanced things out and finished the season as the No. 2 seed, then dominated the Eastern Conference. They beat the Philadelphia 76ers (4-1), Boston Celtics (4-1) and Chicago Bulls (4-1) before they were stopped in their tracks by German engineer

West finished second in the MVP voting four different times, losing out to Wilt Chamberlain in 1966, Willis Reed in ’70, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in ’71 and again in ’72.

The fact that there isn’t a clear Rookie of the Year favourite doesn’t mean that there aren’t multiple players capable of winning the award. It just shows there isn’t a single player from the 2016 class that really stands out above the r
If the Cavaliers don’t reach the NBA Finals, it won’t be because they didn’t lock up the top seed. How did King James’ teams do once they reached the championship series, though? Let’s take a look at the five times LeBron led his team as the No. 2 s
