Hoops and Stuff

The Play-In has concluded and the NBA Playoffs officially tip off today. This, of course, means it is time to hand out our NBA awards from 2025-26 season. We have watched this players since October and now is the time for them to get their recognition. We are going to follow the 65 game rule, which means of course some key players will be missing from this list. Comment which players you think deserve some more attention for the season they had! MOST VALUABLE PLAYER Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Shai followed up his historic MVP season from a year ago with a season just as dominant. He is the best scorer in the league and is the head of the snake for the best team in the league. If OKC repeats, and Shai gets another Finals MVP, then one of your favorite players will soon be replaced on the all time list. DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Victor Wembanyama This might be the easiest award decision you could ever make. And I think it might be that way for years. 6TH MAN OF THE YEAR Keldon Johnson Ma...

 The madness is almost here! With conference championships already starting up, it feels like the perfect time to give out my personal awards for All-Conference teams! We did this for every major conference and ONLY conference play was taken into account for these awards. Team success and games played were also taken into account, meaning stars like UNC's Caleb Wilson, TTU's J.T. Toppin or BYU's Richie Saunders were not selected, despite them obviously being amongst the best in their conference. Some conferences like to put 10+ players into their all-conference team, but that is bogus! We challenged ourselves to give just two teams per conference, giving our opinions on the most impactful players! Obviously there is more that goes into impact than just stats, but we will include each players Points/Rebounds/Assists and their shooting splits by FG%/3PT%/FT%. Please comment who you would include in these awards! Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Year:   Cameron Boozer, ...

It is the eve of the 2025 college basketball tip-off! There is so much talent in the NCAA and this looks to be one of the most exciting seasons in years. Not only will this prove to be a must watch season collegiately, it looks to be one of the most talented drafts from top to bottom in recent memory. We already know who some of the top picks project to be, but I wrote about a few players who may sneak under the noses of the casual fan who can potentially make some noise in the draft cycle this upcoming season. From potential lottery picks to sneaky 2-Way guys, here are 9 players who I think will outperform their preseason expectations. As always, please comment some of your favorite under-the-radar draft prospects that you are excited to watch for this upcoming season! Roman Siulepa - Pittsburgh, Freshman, Wing/Forward Siulepa is a bit of a tweener positionally, which is what intrigues me. Siuelpa is bigger than most wings but quicker than most forwards, which should excited Panther f...

We have played 8 weeks of football, meaning it is time for another power rankings post! Every four weeks we update our power rankings for each skill position for the season. The power rankings take into account both a players profile from previous season as well as heavily considering their on field production for this current season. Players must have played at least 6 games to be included in the list. This week's post also will include my personal rankings for each major award! Please comment below what you agree/disagree with and who you think the MVP is at this point of the season!

It is Tuesday! This means another week of NFL football has passed us and we are giving our breakdown of things that stood out to us! Comment below what you took away from this past weekend! 1. How Good are the Denver Broncos? A lot has been made of Denver's historic fourth quarter comeback this week against the Giants. They scored 33 fourth quarter points, and were down by 18 points with 5 minutes left in the game. Lots of questions have come about from this game. How did this happen? Did this really happen? What took the offense so long to wake up? How did the Giants blow this? Did the Giants really miss that extra point? Did the refs really call that DPI? Just to name a few. I have more questions. Specifically around the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are sort of enigma at this point of the season. The Broncos are 5-2 and are third in the AFC. You can make the argument that they really should be 7-0 as they saw late leads slip away against both Indianapolis and Los Angeles. Two game...
