Andrew Bynum was sold to Sixers fans as hope of a very bright tomorrow. A tomorrow that would make the years of mediocrity they’ve experienced since Allen Iverson left just exercises in building character that would be rewarded. Andrew Bynum is not going to play basketball before January. Such is the life of tossing your franchise’s future in the [...]
Offensive rebounding, like most things in basketball is dictated by the logic of kings – I do so because I can! If a player has the means and opportunity to grab an offensive board, as a general rule, he should grab it. But an offensive rebound is only as good as what happens after. Part [...]
