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.

In a basketball scoreboards review, we look at the Celtics and the teams that want to beat them the most! Whenever we hear of the greatest rivalry in the NBA the following two teams come to our minds: the Boston Celtics and the LA Lakers.

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!:

In a basketball scoreboards feature, take a look at the Knicks and some of the really awful purchases that they have made through the years. we The New York Knicks is certainly not one of the NBA great teams. When you are not a great team and you make poor trades it can be disasterous. The New York Knicks have won the championship title only a couple of times and have never had any really special players on their roster such as Bird, Johnson, Jordan, Abdul Jabbar, Russell etc. NBA teams need to win and to win you need to have talented players, which is where the Knicks have fallen short, year after year. In the process of acquiring the sort of players that might get them somewhere, the team has made some terrible transfers. Five of the worst are highlighted here.

A panel of sportswriters and broadcasters decide who should be honored with this prestigious award. This year’s online voting has been initiated through which the fans can vote for the player they think should win the award. Let’s look at this season’s MVP award favorites.

In a basketball scoreboards feature, we compare Kobe to the greatest players ever seen in the NBA, and ask, in historical terms, how does he match up against the best of the rest?
Kobe Bryant isn’t the best player in the history of the NBA: there have been a number of players who achieved more than him. His fans may not agree with this but unfortunately Bryant has lost a little of the magic he had in him. Now in his 30’s, he has lost some of his explosiveness, and perhaps doesn’t strike quite as much fear into his opponents as he used to. Saying that, he is still a living legend, and still the best player in the league today. Here is the list of the best ever. Where is Kobe?

In a basketball scoreboards feature, we look at the great sport of basketball from the eyes of an English soccer fan. As a big fan of sport, one of the first things I wanted to do when I arrived in North America from the UK for the first time was watch some live sports. My friend offered to take me to see the Toronto Raptors play against the Dallas Maveriks (is that what they are called)?, the basketball scoreboards showing that the big stars at the time were the big German guy for Dallas and the guy who has since moved to Miami for Toronto. As you can see, I’m ashamed to say that my basketball knowledge was, and still is, very limited!
