Four years ago Texas Longhorn teammates Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson became the first duo of Canadians to be taken in the first round of the NBA Draft in almost 30 years. Two years later, the Cleveland Cavaliers made Anthony Bennett the first Canadian-born player to be drafted No. 1 overall. And last year, Andrew…

If you thought Kemba’s game couldn’t translate to the NBA you are a fool. As I have said all along with Kemba- winners win. Regardless of the level, winners will find a way to win (ie Shabazz). This is Kemba’s third buzzer-beater on the season and third straight game with 30+ points. Most importantly? Charlotte…

I did my first Google Hangout yesterday with former UConn National Champion and 9 year NBA vet Charlie Villanueva of the Dallas Mavericks. Villanueva was a McDonald’s All-American out of Blair Academy (NJ), leading Blair to 3 straight Mid-Atlantic Prep League Tournament Championships. As a freshman, Charlie was a key contributor to the 2004 UConn National…
