The Non-Big Three Star of Game 6 - Kawhi Leonard

2013-06-19T13:17:19+00:00

(Soobum Im-USA TODAY Sports) The 2013 NBA Finals are being billed as a battle of the "Big Three" of the Heat and Spurs. And while you need a superstar(s) to win a title, you also need a strong supporting cast. So The Hoops Manifesto will look to shine some light on these less heralded players with our "The Non-Big Three Star of the Game" award...

Missner's Manifesto: Use The Force, Jason Kidd

2013-06-17T17:37:00+00:00

( Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports) The retirements of Jason Kidd and Grant Hill over the past few weeks have left me in a nostalgic mood. The two 19-year veterans were the second and third picks of the 1994 draft, which was the height of my Milwaukee Bucks fandom. I was never more excited about a sports-related non-sporting event than the 1994 draft lottery when the Bucks won the right...

Missner's Manifesto: NBA Finals Preview - Go Heat Go

( Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports) The 2013 NBA Finals represent the ultimate battle of the best player in the league against the best team in the league. It makes sense that most people prefer the team (the Spurs) and many people are picking San Antonio to win the series. I have nothing against the Spurs and prefer their style of play to the Heat (they pass the ball to the open man...

Book Review: Relentless by Tim Grover & Shari Wenk

2013-06-05T13:42:51+00:00

If we were searching for one word to describe Michael Jordan, Dwyane Wade, or Kobe Bryant, the word "relentless" would be very fitting. So it is also fitting that their renowned trainer, Tim Grover of Attack Athletics, has named his latest book Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable. Reading the book you also figure out very quickly that "relentless" also...

Not Ready For Prime Time Player

2013-06-04T13:58:49+00:00

(Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports) It's always dangerous and foolish to judge a player's worth off of one game. However, when that one game is Game 7 of a playoff series, we tend to put more weight on it. And probably for good reason - we expect our superstars to perform their best under the bright lights and high pressure of the NBA playoffs. So based on his...

Missner's Manifesto: Cavalier Choices

2013-06-03T14:49:21+00:00

(David Richard-USA TODAY Sports) For the first time since LeBron James left, the Cavaliers won something. While it may have been a winning ticket to the worst lottery in years, it was enough for the Gilbert family to celebrate raucously (and somewhat embarrassingly). What should Cleveland do with the pick? I covered the Cavaliers for RotoWire this past season, so I have a pretty good read on...

Carmelo Anthony - New York replaced by Paul Pierce - Boston Yes Melo is putting up some gaudy numbers (22.3 ppg, 6.0 rpg, 4.2 apg), but he is shooting under 40% from the field and under 30% from the three-point line. He's missing over 11 shot a night from the floor and is turning the ball over at the highest rate of his career. Paul Pierce, meanwhile, isn't shooting so great...
