With 25 seconds left in the game, Kevin Durant stepped to the free throw line looking to ice the game away for the Oklahoma City Thunder. As the ball was tossed to him by the ref, Durant heard chants of “M-V-P” come down from the rafters. He couldn’t help but crack a smile. And [...] Chris Paul is too good to be a New Orleans Hornet. The photo to the right encapsulates every emotion Chris Paul is feeling at the moment. Angry and alone. There are too many reasons for CP3 to feel this way. Peja Stojakovic bricks a three. Bobby Brown tosses up an air ball. David West [...] 2008-2009 Season Record: 49-33. Fourth place in Southwest Division of the Western Conference (7th in the West). 2008-2009 Team MVP: Chris Paul Key Additions: Emeka Okafor, Darius Songaila, Ike Diogu, Darren Collison, Bobby Brown, and Marcus Thornton Key Departures: Tyson Chandler, Rasual Butler, Antonio Daniels, Ryan Bowen, and Ike Diogu Projected Starting Five: [...] Two days ago Golden State Warriors power forward Anthony Randolph tied the Summer League scoring record with a 42 point output.

He got his points in a variety of ways, shooting 18-of-26 from the field while sinking 7 of his [...] Golden State Warriors power forward Anthony Randolph tied the NBA Summer League scoring record yesterday with an impressive 42 points on 13-22 shooting. Throughout the course of the game, Randolph continued to dominate Bulls’ 26th overall pick Taj Gibson, causing him to commit nine personal fouls which sent Randolph to the line 21 times.

Darren is a very energetic defensive player, and he can replace Gordon as the sixth man and emerge as another starting point [...] 2008 First Round Pick: Derrick Rose. They chose the point guard over Michael Beasley and it worked out handsomely. Rose was Rookie of the Year, made the first-team All Rookie Squad, and had a better rookie campaign than LeBron James did. Rose averaged 16 points, six assists and four rebounds during the regular season [...] Last Meaningful Draft Pick: 2007, 2nd round, 48th overall, Marc Gasol. One of the few things that Memphis got in return for his brother, Pau Gasol, who was the second option on the 2009 NBA Championship team.
