The Great NBA Debate: “Generation Next” Vs. “Generation Now”
Dream Matchup: The Rook Griffin Dunking On Duncan? We’ve had an ongoing debate on our staff between two of our NBA writers, myself and Benjy Narotsky, about whether the NBA has a greater supply of emerging young superstars–like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook–or established veterans still at the top of their games, like Dirk Nowitzki.

Spurs Win 9th Straight, Cool Off Suns 118-110
These days, there seems nothing that can stop the juggernaut known as the San Antonio Spurs. Winners of eight stright games prior to their contest Monday against the Phoenix Suns at AT&T Center, the Spurs would get the opportunity to face a team that was short-handed.
