NBA season preview 2012-13

NBA season preview 2012-13: The top teams who’ll contend for the NBA championship and the top national TV games to watch this season. Sharing the wealth was not on the minds of the NBA’s elite teams over the summer, at least when it came to talent on the court. The handful of teams capable of winning a title either added big-name stars or kept the ones they had, widening the gap between the Association’s haves and have-nots. Here’s what the top teams were up to in the offseason: Heat Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis are taking their talents to South […]

NBA TV presents “The Dream Team” documentary

NBA TV presents “The Dream Team,” a documentary about the 1992 USA Olympic basketball team, on Wednesday, June 13. It’s hard believe it’s been 20 years since the 1992 USA Olympic basketball “Dream Team” — probably still the greatest single team of athletes ever assembled — won gold at the Barcelona Games. It’s even harder to believe there was a time when the greatest basketball players in the world weren’t eligible for Olympic competition, since the U.S. couldn’t field pro players while other countries could. While the USA was dominant for years fielding teams with college kids, the rules changed […]

“Wilt 100” on NBA TV Friday

NBA TV celebrates the 50th anniversary of Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game with a documentary special Wilt 100, airing Friday, March 2, at 7pm ET. On March 2, 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors in a 169-147 victory over the New York Knicks in Hershey, Pa. The 100-point plateau is a feat that has gone unmatched. There’s no video footage of the game, and there were only 4,000 spectators (though I’m sure you’ll find 25,000 who said they were there.) NBA legend and Chamberlain rival Bill Russell narrates the documentary, with long-told stories, new insights, and original […]
