The Top 3 Greatest Defensive Players Ever In The Nba
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.

4 of the Overrated NBA Players Through the Ages

4 Of The Overrated Nba Players Through The Ages
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.

The Top 2 Free Agents in the NBA up for Grabs in 2011

The Top 2 Free Agents In The Nba Up For Grabs In 2011
In a baskeball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at Carmelo Anthony and Yao Ming, 2 free agents that are of interest in 2011.

In 2010, we saw several key players being freed into the wild again i.e. the caps on their contracts ran out and they were free to either keep playing for their current team or find new ones with better contracts. However, the top tier players i.e. LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade showed that it is not always about the money. These players left money on the table only to be able to play on the same team: Miami Heat (OK, I'm joking about LeBron!). Needless to say, the Heats will heat the courts with the trio in their wings. Now, the problem is there aren’t many of those big name players left, so the light falls on the next top free agents that will be up for grabs in 2011. Here are the top 2 basketball scoreboards free agents currently roaming the markets.

2 of the Best NBA Players and Their Signature Shoes

2 Of The Best Nba Players And Their Signature Shoes
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.

The NBA’s 3 Most Underrated Players

The Nba’s 3 Most Underrated Players
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!

The Best 3 Point Shooters Ever in the NBA

The Best 3 Point Shooters Ever In The Nba
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.

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.
