The Orlando Magic were not expected to win very many games this season so this recent losing streak is probably the 1st of many long losing streaks they are going to suffer from this season.

I don't care if they fire me. If they do I'll go home and have a good day. Not an exact quote but that about sums up the day Stan Van Gundy decided he was done with the junk he had been put through.

I know we're all sick of Dwight. I'm especially sick of him after he just finished destroying my favorite team; but I digress. The other day I was reading the Orlando Sentinel and a writer I greatly respect said Dwight had to get used to being the 4th option. Excuse me, but Dwight is way too good to be the 4th option.

After further review, ten players were added to my "top 200," stretching the list out to a now top 210. That said, here are the amended ranks for 189 through 180:
189. Mychal Thompson
Thompson began his career as a member of the Portland Trailblazers, but got a late start on NBA basketball at age 24. In his third season

I recently took on the monumental task of compiling the greatest 200 players ever in the NBA (The list ran over to 210). It's not easy, because you have weird factors to account for like adjusted-pace and the competitiveness of the era at that player's position, but I've come up with a top 200 list. One thing that surprised me was that by
