Last season, following the Packers’ 8-8 finish, many fans were calling for the firing of secondary coach Kurt Schottenheimer. After this season, you don’t hear too many of those calls any more.

In my opinion, Korver owns one of the quickest shots in the league history. He gets off his attempts pretty quickly therefore making it really difficult for a defender to block or at least challenge the shot.
He is also one of the best three point shooters in the …

He is used primarily on Screen and roll plays …

Michael Doleac of the Minnesota Timberwolves is a solid back-up Center who started his career with the Orlando Magic as a high first round pick for them. And in that sense that he is a first round pick i think he will be considered a disappointment in the league.

At the beginning of the season, the New Orleans Saints looked like they would have a terrible year. They were 0-4 and eventually lost their starting running back Deuce McAllister.

I think early on, quarterback Drew Brees was …

Steve Nash the point guard of the Phoenix Suns and the reigning two time MVP of the league is undoubtably the best pure point guard around. Highly a pass first PG and scoring is only his second option. What separates Steve from other Guards around the league is the …

Miami Dolphins Head Coach Cam Cameron becomes the latest coach to find himself unemployed.
After finishing 1-15 this season, I highly doubt he’ll land another head coaching job any time soon. But, as an offensive coordinator, he’ll be valuable.
