KAT really deserves an All-Star spot. It's only happened five times in the past 20 years that a player put up at least 27 points and 27 rebounds, with one of them being Kevin Love's 31/31 game. Incredibly, Dwight Howard had one just last season at the ripe age of 32. The other two to record...

The season is finally kicking off again in a couple of days with the Tour Down Under. This year they're going up Corkscrew Road again, so it won't just be Willunga Hill deciding the outcome. You can expect Richie Porte to take the victory on Willunga Hill, as is tradition, but after seeing Impey...

Whaaat, another Wolves-fan? That's a rare sight! I'm so happy that we're finally rid of Thibs. The comments Jim Pete made yesterday about Thibs' tenure only confirmed all my thoughts about him. A bad head coach and a bad boss. Maybe we lost yesterday, but it's been a long time since I've...

Why would we or Toulouse want that? He's coming for free in July, and we have just landed Jeison Murillo on a loan for the rest of the season. Why would we be interested in potentially hampering the progress of Todibo, by getting him on loan and seating him in the stands alongside an injured...

You wrote this: Tell me how to interpret that differently, if it's not meant as a slight on Taj? And then explain to me again, how matching Taj as a player and as a piece of a team would mean that you're a bust as a top-five pick, when you can point to big men like Dragan Bender, Jahlil...

I thoroughly disagree. A few moments where he's given the ball away too easily, but he's shown great vision on several occasions and looked like one of the more dangerous players on the pitch for us. He looked much more potent than Konrad, who was disappointing yet again. And let's not forget...

This guy looks like a huge talent. He's been getting more and more playing time with Juvenil A, while actually being registered as a Juvenil B player. He's only 15 years old, so he's been playing against guys that are two, three, even four years older than him, yet he has looked like one of the...

I think you're missing my point. If Taj is your lower ceiling, even as a top five draft pick, you're going to be a great player. Because if you think back, how many top five picks end up having a worse career than Taj has had? That's right, an awful lot. Just in the last ten years, you have...

And conversely, many players started their career out amazingly and then either didn't really progress or actually ended up regressing. Think Glenn Robinson, Elton Brand and Keith Van Horn. Yeah, it got taken down relatively quickly, but Basketball Breakdown produced it nonetheless, fuelling the...

How could that possibly be a bad thing? He's been in the league for 10 years, made the playoffs eight times, always being an absolute model professional both on and off the court. Great defender, great fundamentals offensively - his footwork really is outstanding - and the very definition of a...

Bulgroz as a Ligue 1 watcher and Bordeaux fan, what's your opinion of Laurent Blanc? And how about Rudi Garcia? I mean, Garcia made Lille a championship-team with Hazard as the main man, contended with Roma for a couple of years, and has taken Marseille to the Europa League final, so I think...

Laurent Blanc would be a solid choice for a couple of years. It would be a relatively temporary choice until we can get our hands on someone more interesting or until Xavi is ready to try. Blanc was excellent with PSG and quite good with Bordeaux before that too. He wasn't great with France...

See, now Aleñá is a first-team player with a proper first-team number. Can we agree that you were wrong then?

Well, as you can see, a pair of those "entrusted, decent eyes" chose Benzema as the one worthy of this year's Ballon d'Or. Being a "journalist" doesn't make you right. Or clever for that matter.

Instead of assuming that I don't know who Cannavaro is - fun fact, for many years my passwords were different variations on his name because I was such a massive fan before he went to Madrid - maybe read and address the entirety of my post, instead of just latching on to a single sentence. I...

The domestic leagues decidedly don't matter any longer. No player from the top three won their respective leagues, and only one of those three won the World Cup, which just so happens to be the worst placed of the three. Modric and Ronaldo both have exactly one trophy to their name in 2018...

Please tell me you're taking the piss. She was wearing a dress. At a gala.

But Modric didn't win the World Cup though? And I won't hear it that he "led" Croatia to the final. He was pretty much on par with Rakitic and Brozovic for most of the tournament. And let's face it. Croatia played exactly one really good game in that tournament, which was the 3-0 win against...

Funny thing is, if there are people who only watched Modric at the World Cup, and concluded that he must be the best player in the world, they must have no clue as to how football works. It baffles me how someone could look at the Croatian World Cup campaign and legitimately think that Modric...
