There has been some amazing addition to the NBA talent this season. As the season is drawing to an end lets take a Basketball scoreboards look at the top 5 rookies who were drafted last year.

5. Wesley Johnson
Wesley Johnson is the right man in the wrong team. He is a superb find but unfortunately plays for a team where his hard work has not paid off. He is trying to turn around the fate of his team, The Minnesota Timberwolves, but he does not have the players around him. He played incredibly well against the Los Angeles Lakers two weeks ago, with the basketball scoreboards showing that he scored a career high 29 points. He has emerged as a solid shooting guard in the NBA and with this kind of performance he will surely go a long way in the league in the years to come.

This season has seem some established players reach the peak of their careers, and some newbies come in and take the league by storm. In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the 4 most amazing power forwards in the NBA today.

4 – Blake Griffin
Although only in his rookie season, this young boy has amazed everyone with his natural skills and abilities. The basketball scoreboards showed that he was drafted in 2009 by the Los Angeles Clippers, but just a day before the 2009-2010 season started, it was confirmed that Griffin had suffered a stress fracture in his left knee and would miss seven weeks of play. After this lay-off, the test results showed that he was not recovering properly, and he ended up missing the entire season. Things have taken a big turn for him this season though, and he has surely established his future with the LA Clippers. He is having the best rookie season ever and is scoring an average of 22.5 and rebounding with an average of 12.4. This puts him in third place among the power forwards. Such stats have never been achieved by a rookie!

Every team has a few select key players, without whom the team would be at a huge disadvantage. They are the players who play a major role in the team’s progress though the season, and the ones who can single-handedly ruin their team’s season if they don’t perform to the high standards that are expected of them. In this basketball scoreboards feature, I have identified the BIG Threes of the NBA:

The NBA has been greatly influenced by foreign players, particularly in the last decade. In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have listed the players who have made the greatest impact on the game past and present.

Yao Ming – China
Yao Ming was first drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2002. He was the rookie of the year in 2003. In the first three years of his career this iconic giant lived up to the expectations and hype that his presence in the league created. He also increased interest in the league in Asia massively. However, currently he is stuck in the realm of injuries and he might even have to retire. He has missed large parts of the last few seasons and has played only five matches so far this season. He remains very popular among NBA fans all over the world, and we all hope that he can still recover from his endless injuries and put in a good run of games.

We are just over the halfway mark of the current NBA season, and as ever there have been some brilliant performances. Some newcomers have made their place in the team their own by putting in consistent performances at a high level, others have not performed as well as expected and have been a big dissapointment, whilst there is the old guard of top players who continue to be on top of their game.

Here is a basketball scoreboardslist of players who I regard have made the most waves in the first half of the season:

In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have selected the best defensive players to have ever played in the NBA.

Among the American holy trinity of sports i.e. baseball, football and basketball; basketball is perhaps the game where the team’s defending ability can have the biggest impact on the outcome of the match. This is backed up by the fact that the winning teams often get to where they are through the strength of their defense. Sometimes, all a team needs is one great defensive player at an important position and voila, the game is theirs! Here is the basketball scoreboards list of the greatest defensive players in the NBA, who managed to turn the tables for their team on more than one occasion.

In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have looked back at some of the most famous, yet most overrated players to have plyed their trade in the NBA.

Being overrated does not necassarily mean that the player does not play well. It simply means that the player is given more credit than he actually deserves and is given too much media attention. There is a lot of hype (and money!) surrounding a lot of players, and some of them quite simply do not give back what they get. Here is a list of NBA’s most overrated players who have played in the past.

In a basketball scoreboards feature, we take a look at the two biggest players in the NBA and their fancy footwear!

Just like any other commercialized sport, NBA is a highly lucrative industry for a great basketball player. And with great money, comes great…shoes! Shoes are the weapon for every athlete in every sport. Perhaps this is even more true for a basketball athlete (besides, of course, a marathon runner!) because a basketball player has to be completely comfortable in his shoes for him to execute precise the jumps and cuts. The biggest players in the NBA (who we see most on the basketball scoreboards!) like Kobe Bryant and Lebron James realize their shoes’ importance, which is why they have created a new breed of shoes and have partnered a shoe company to produce them. Now let’s take a look at what makes their shoes so special for them.

In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have chosen the best players in the NBA who I consider do not get the credit that their high level of play warrants.

There are some players who, for one reason or another, simply do not get the credit they deserve. They are players who perform well and are great athletes yet they do not get the attention and appreciation that similar level players get all the time. One of the main reasons for this is often because they play for a team that is weak or not as talked about as other teams are. Whatever the reason, if a player is performing well he should be applauded for his efforts. Here are some players who did not get the attention that they deserve, until now!

In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have listed what I consider to be the biggest 3 point shooters ever to have graced the NBA with their pin-point skills.

A three-point shot is when a player scores from behind the three point line. If successful, the shot earns him and his team three points rather than the usual two points. The player is allowed to jump from outside the line and land inside the line but, only if the ball is released in mid air. If he fails to shoot in mid air, i.e. he shoots from inside the three point line, he only earns the regular two points. Aside from the 3 points the player gets if he makes the shot, he gets another advantage: if he misses the shot and is fouled he will be awarded free throw attempts which he can use to earn 4 points. Now let’s take a look at the best 3 point shooters ever to have played.

At the moment, the Celtics are on a winning streak and it has been very difficult for other teams to beat them. Everyone wants to scalp the Celtics, but no more than the following three teams:

There are certain players in the NBA who play extremely well on a consistent basis but who do not fit into the team they play for. They deserve to be in a much stronger team, as the performances of these players are not rewarded as they should be i.e. the teams win few matches and don’t get anywhere in the championship. Here is a basketball scoreboards list of players who deserve to be in a better team than they are currently in – the definitive list of players who deserve better!:
