Monta Ellis who won the Most Improved Player in the NBA a year ago has continued that progress and has become a legitimate scorer for the Golden State Warriors. I really like Ellis’s game, he can score in a variety of ways but the most amazing thing about his …

The six foot even point guard for the Orlando Magic, Jameer Nelson, is another guy who comes to the NBA by way of a not-so-popular school. Unless you’ve seen the movie, Hoop Dreams, you may not even know that Saint Joseph’s exists. I know the Magic know, and they’re …

At one point, I thought Packers running back Vernand Morency could turn into a starter and a steal for the team. Now, I think he’ll be lucky if he’s still around next season.
