We heard The Lakers claim that they were only one NBA championship behind the Celtics, but can the legacy of George Mikan and the Minnesota Lakers be so easily transferred to the Los Angeles Lakers?
Before examining team legacies, let’s begin by looking at individual legacies:
Should Johnny Unitas passing records for the Baltimore Colts be counted [...]

Before the hype for the NBA Draft began six plus weeks ago - when the Los Angeles Clippers won the lottery - how many of you out there knew about Ricky Rubio? Sure, some NBA writers wrote a couple of blurbs about him being the next Pete Maravich. And, yes, there were some grainy videos [...]

The sports fans of Cleveland are more hopeful now than they were immediately after the Orlando Magic eliminated their beloved Cavs in seven games to win the Eastern Conference Finals. That’s because Cleveland GM Danny Ferry is bringing The Original Superman, The Big Diesel - Shaquille O’Neal - to ride shotgun with Lebron James.
