Unfortunately Seattle SuperSonics franchise doesn't exist anymore and the last few years of its existence weren't very successful. They were almost always among title contenders in the 1990s but 21st century was a completely different story. Since 1998–99 all Sonics teams were more or less mediocre and they very rarely made the playoffs and before the start of 2004-05 season no one expected much from them. It turned out to be a surprisingly good season for them.

Dale Ellis was more than just a 3 point specialist. In the late 1980s he was one of the premiere scorers in the NBA and remained a solid player until the late 1990s. He shot a lot of threes and made a lot threes - there are only two players in NBA history who have made more 3 pointers than Ellis.

Just a few weeks ago the first decade of the 21st century came to an end. There were good times and not so good times but it certainly wasn't boring. But who was the best player of the decade? If we would do a survey and ask who was the best player of the 90's then 99% of the sane people would answer Micheal Jordan. But the 00's is a different story as there's no clear cut best player. But what is the best way to compare the candidates and find out who is the numero uno? Well, I don't know the answer to this question but I can give you one fresh, possibly pretty inaccurate way to rank them just for fun.

Many predicted that after the awful season last year, the Washington Wizards would be a playoff team this year but it didn't exactly turn out that way as we all see. Obviously their veteran leader Antawn Jamison is upset and even though he's playing very good, the Wizards have only won 17 out of 49 games so far. So is this the right time to finally start rebuilding and trade Jamison? Does he want to be traded? Which teams want him?

There are not a lot of NBA players who change their jersey numbers as often as Ron Artest. He has worn 6 different numbers including 3 different when playing for the Indiana Pacers. And there's some strange reasoning for every single jersey number he has worn. Some explanations are more traditional but some you could never even imagine.

Chris Paul injured his knee just a few days ago against the Bulls by colliding with a camera and he will have to undergo a surgery. Certainly some bad news for the New Orleans Hornets here. At least there is a player who can back him up well enough. How will this injury impact the Hornets and can they still win something this season?

All-Star starting lineups are announced and we are less than one month away from the 2010 All-Star game so it's the right time to think about who should participate as reserves and discuss whether each of the starters deserve their starting spot. Last month I wrote a
similar article and called it
All-Star predictions but those were not really predictions, that was my opinion on who
should play not who I think will play. So this time when I'm doing this list for the Western Conference, I'm avoiding the word "predictions".

Slam Dunk participants are announced and LeBron isn't one of them but still some nice dunkers in the competition so we can expect this contest to bee good. As the last year's dunk-off was mildly disappointing we are all hungry to see a great one this year.
