This is the grave of Dan Roundfield. Born in Detroit in 1953, Roundfield was a big kid and thus a basketball player. He was a 6'8" forward from Detroit. But he wasn't really a top high school player and was a good student who put...

All year I've been remiss in doing NBA threads. At first it was because I was in Mexico but then, I don't know, it was just because I'm lazy. In.
A weird weekend with two of the most inexplicable trades ever. The most egregious was the Red Sox shipping Rafael Devers to the Giants for a bunch of whatever. I.
Not the top sports story of the day, but the great Hubie Brown is broadcasting his last NBA game today. He's 91 years old. In recent years, he's still sounded great. I have a friend who played AAU ball in high school and Brown was...

Time for another NBA thread. We all know Minnesota is well equipped to win on the road. They won at Denver 3 times. But going down 2-0 to the Mavericks.
