Breaking Down a Special 2020 NBA Draft International Class

Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s a known fact that the top of the 2020 NBA draft isn’t particularly talented. However, I do believe that international class this year is absolutely fantastic. Last year, I only had two international players (Sekou Doumbouya at 10 and Goga Bitadze at 12) in my top 60. This year, I’ll probably end up having five guys with first round grades.

Did Steve Nash Deserve his Two MVP Awards?

Reading Time: 2 minutesSteve Nash is one of the most disrespected players of all-time. He is remembered for his two MVP’s, which many argue he should not have won. While Steve Nash doesn’t have eye-popping numbers, he still was incredibly valuable to his team as he turned a 29 win team into 62 wins in one year. Let’s evaluate if this theory is true or false.   In 2005, Nash won his first MVP in a close race with Shaquille O’Neal. Many believe that Shaq should have won it, but Nash did have a better season.
