Don't get me wrong! I hate to point out typos on a forum! But I thought this particular one needs fixing since I'm such a basketball freak/nerd. :dance:

Mr Poker thanks for the heads up, this have been corrected. 😁

Philadelphia 76er Allen Iverson, who the team said already will miss the rest of the season as he tends to an undisclosed illness to his 4-year-old daughter, faces more personal problems, according to a column from Stephen A. Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

According to sources, Smith wrote that Allen Iverson has alcohol and gambling issues. Iverson's wife, Tawanna, has filed for divorce and is seeking alimony and child support for their five children.

The Los Angeles Lakers are carefully optimistic that Andrew Bynum, whose tendon is not actually torn, will be able to return despite his injury in as early as two weeks...........

Wow thanks for the information i didnt know hardly any of that stuff and im a HUGE basketball fan...NBA is pretty awesome but i prefer college hoops probably the best

Meaning one team will make history. Here’s a look at the best of the best and the Top 5 NBA teams of all time.

1995-96 Chicago Bulls. The Bulls were absurdly dominant; they went 72-10 during the regular season while finishing first in scoring and third on defense.

1985-86 Boston Celtics. Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Danny Ainge, Robert Parish—what a roster. These Celtics went an incredible 40-1 at Boston Garden during the regular season.

1986-87 LA Lakers. Led by the trio of Magic, Kareem and Worthy, the “Showtime” Lakers whipped their way to a 65-17 season and an NBA championship.

1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers. With Wilt Chamberlain leading the way, Philly racked up 68 wins. Even more impressively, the Sixers ended Boston’s eight-year championship streak.

1991-92 Chicago Bulls. Chicago bulldozed its way to 67 wins, the fifth-most in NBA history. Michael Jordan was MVP that year.

No league hypes its stars more than the NBA, and the playoffs are no exception. Expect to see plenty of Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwight Howard, Paul Pierce, Dwyane Wade, Derrick Rose, Dirk Nowitzki, Carmelo Anthony, Steve Nash, Tim Duncan and Kevin Durant. And nowhere will you find more NBA player props than at Bodog Sportsbook, the web’s gaming leader for more than 15 years...................

It took 20 long years before Orlando finally got its turn to host the historic NBA All-Star Game. This was confirmed after NBA commissioner David Stern made an announcement last Tuesday that the week-long festivities will be held in Magic’s new arena in 2012...............

Get the Geritol ready. Here come the Celtics!!:crying

Lakers are favs at phoenix, gonna stay away from this game. Orlando may cover and play great today in game 3 like cleveland did in boston

Even if the team is three games behind in the playoffs, this doesn’t mean that the game is over. NBA fans have seen this before. The losing team can make a strong comeback and halt the winning streak...........

For sure in all sports its not over till the bell/timeclock/finalout is complete
lets just hope the celtics dont repeat what the bruins did i will have too move

I was a total Magic rooter for the first two games vs the Boston Celtics, but now I am hoping Boston can lock this one up. Anytime you can win 2 playoff games on the road, you should really have the series locked up. Go Boston.

The “rise-up” is no doubt one of the incomparable skills of Kobe Bryant, and even opposing coaches actually recognize this fact.....

When its said and done he could be the greatest player in NBA history, he just needs to win a few more rings but with his all around game nobody can argue his stature in the leagues history now

No LeBron James news yet, but some of the mini-superstars seem to be sticking with their former teams. Dirk Nowitzki decided to stay with the Dallas Mavericks and now Joe Johnson is sticking with the Altanta Hawks.

Johnson's agent has said that his client will sign the maximum, approximately $119 million over six years, nearly $27 million more than any other team could offer.

"When the free agency period kicked in, Joe made a point of talking to the Hawks first," Tellem wrote in the blog post. "Their owners and new coach, Larry Drew, impressed Joe with their commitment to making the team championship-caliber. In turn, Joe felt equally committed to the Hawks, his teammates and the city of Atlanta."

Johnson was doing his free agent rounds before deciding on the Hawks. He made stops with the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls before opting for his original team. Johnson was seen as possible complimentary player with whichever team LeBron James or Dwyane Wade choose to sign with.
