Top Five NBA Draft Prospects

Posted by Paul Grossinger in NBA Basketball Blog

Jun 16, 2013

The NBA Draft may lack the NFL draft's panache but it is the most important draft in pro sports. Why? Because the NBA has collective-bargained itself into a knot; there are very few ways of adding real new talent in the league and almost no flexibility to make significant trades. So, who are the top five game-changing players in this draft?

What Sports Trophies Mean to Us

The smiles on the faces are all the same. Age means nothing. From the little guy holding his first trophy after a season of pee-wee league baseball to the professional athlete wielding the NBA Championship Trophy over his head, the smiles say it all. Even highly paid professionals that have won trophies for most of their lives can point to one from years ago and reminisce on its meaning.

NBA Trivia: Utah Jazz

Posted by Lorenzo Tanos in Sports Trivia Questions

Jun 13, 2013

This shall be the second to the last of our series on NBA teams, and in here we take a look at the Utah Jazz, whose rather peculiar team name can be explained by the fact they started out in New Orleans in 1974. The team shall be playing its 40th season in 2013-14, and while they got left out of the playoff hunt in 2012-13, a return to the postseason shouldn't be farfetched provided the Jazz make the right moves.

NBA Season Recaps: The 1952-53 Season

Posted by Lorenzo Tanos in NBA Basketball Blog

Jun 13, 2013

For the first time in NBA history, the league maintained the same number of teams and none of these teams moved to another city in the next season. It also marked the continuation of the Minneapolis Lakers' dynasty, as the George Mikan-led team finished with the league's best record and won the NBA Championship in the postseason. Yet the NBA remained far behind in popularity to the college game; the pro game was still slow, especially in fourth quarters where teams would stall to protect their leads and new rules on fouls and free throws did little to curb excessive fouling. Indeed, it would be a couple more years before the NBA would "move into the 20th century", but for now, it was the Lakers and George Mikan's NBA, and it wasn't always exciting.

Position Battles for the Defending Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens

Jun 12, 2013

All the coverage on positional battles this offseason seems to revolve around the quarterback position – will it be Sanchez or Smith in New York, will Matt Flynn hold onto the starting job in Oakland, is EJ Manuel ready for prime time. But it turns out other positions also have battles – I know, I'm as shocked as you are. It's not always the teams at the bottom of the standings, either – even good teams are struggling in OTAs, trying to figure out who will replace key starters at key positions.

Jun 11, 2013

This week, the NFL mourned the passing of a true legend of the game. The first-ballot Hall of Famer, Los Angeles Ram legend – the man who came up with the word "sack" to describe his relentless pursuit of quarterbacks. Deacon Jones died in his home Monday night, from natural causes. He was 72 years old.

Rafael Nadal's Eight French Opens and Sports' Best Streaks

Posted by Paul Grossinger in Other Sports

Jun 10, 2013

The King of Clay. Rafael Nadal's nickname does little justice to his perfection on the surface. At 59-1 in clay's marquee event, the French Open, Nadal is the emperor of clay. With eight titles in nine tries, he is the best clay-court champion in tennis history. 59-1 is such an absurdity, no one would ever bet it could happen – you just can't bet against Nadal. Of course, if you wanted to try, online casinos offer you the possibility to play the most attractive online casino games on the gaming market.

Welcome to The Best Sports Blog! Here on TheBestSportsBlog.com you will find articles about all the big issues in sports: past, present, and future. It's all sports and it's all here; everything you ever wanted to know, think about, and discuss about all the major issues and questions in the sports world.

The Best Sports Blog is now part of the TBSB Network. The TBSB Network is a new group of sites intended to provide our viewers with unique content on every major sport! The other sites in the network are: thebestboxingblog.com, thebestfootballblog.com, thebestbaseballblog.com, thebestbasketballblog.com, and sectalk.com. There are links to them in the drop-down navigation above so make sure to check them out and see our great content for yourself!

We created The Best Sports Blog because, despite all the sports sites that are out there, we thought there was a major void left to fill. While ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and others provide complete instant coverage of sports events (and occasionally even engaging commentary) there isnt another site out there on the net that was dedicated to providing detailed, informative, and substantive discussions about the biggest issues in sports. Its easy to find out if a player gets traded and possible to find some decent commentary on the immediate effects, but we couldnt find a site dedicated to providing sports fans with detailed analysis of the deeper reasons behind current sports events and their medium and long term consequences. That is the void that we want this site to fill.

The point of The Best Sports Blog is to bring you engaging, thought-provoking, and completely unique content on the biggest happenings, issues, and problems in sports. We are not worried about breaking the news first; its the advanced analysis of the events behind, and consequences of, that news that we are concerned with. As a result, you will notice that most of our content - even older articles - is not past due and out of touch. Thats because our analysis is about looking at the big picture, taking on the questions that routine commentators leave alone, and analyzing issues from a viewpoint that is different from all the Talking Heads out there. We are about providing our readers with unique, unvarnished, long term analysis and that is what makes The Best Sports Blog different from any other site on the internet. We are very proud of that so please take a look and we are sure you will see the benefits of this new approach.

The Best Sports Blog is also about building a new online sports community for engaged fans who want two things: to read the best analysis out there and have an outlet to contribute their own criticism, thoughts, and ideas. As you will notice, we always solicit your thoughts and comments in our articles and have comment boxes featured prominently on every page. Theres a reason for that: we dont just want this to be a normal sports site that you visit, read, and leave; we want it to be a community of sports fans sharing their ideas. We are sports fans just like you; normal fans who want to read intelligent detailed analysis and express our own ideas at the same time. Thats why we created The Best Sports Blog: we want to create a web-based sports community where everyone reads our thoughts, contributes their own, and together we reach a consensus (or happily debate forever) on the biggest questions and issues in sports today.

Don't forget that The Best Sports Blog is part of the TBSB Network! Our other sites can be found in the drop down navigation at the top of the page where it says "TBSB Network."
