5 NBA Duos That Should Have Played Together Longer

There are certain players who if they had played for their team for a longer time together they would have undoubtedly made a deadly and winning combination. In this basketball scoreboards feature, I have selected the 5 duos who should have played together for much longer than they actually did, and whose partnership sadly came to an end before it reached the great heights that it was otherwise destined for.

5. Jerry Stackhouse and Grant Hill
The Detroit Pistons’ former power house Hill and Stackhouse played together for three seasons only. Though they were college rivals, they left their rivalry behind and played as a unit for the Pistons. Both the players were in their prime when they played together which is why people enjoyed watching them so much.

The 5 Worst NFL Quarterbacks Ever

Quarterbacks undoubtedly hold the most important position in football. But as important as their role is, some teams have put some really bad quarterbacks on the field! Not surprisingly, this has led to the downfall of the team. In honor of these anti-greats of the game, in this football scoreboards feature I have taken a look at who I consider to be the 5 worst quarterbacks to have ever set foot on an NFL field.

5. Joey Harrington
Sarcastically nicknamed as Joey Sunshine for being too optimistic, Harrington spent most of his career with the Detroit Lions. The Lions drafted him in 2002 and he remained with the team till 2005. Factors like mismanagement, poor offensive line protection and lack of skills contributed to his unsuccessful career. He also played for the Miami Dolphins, the Atlanta Falcons and the New Orleans Saints, but he remained unsuccessful with every team he played.

The NBA Champs – Victory for the Dallas Mavericks Means a Victory for Basketball!

In a basketball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the Mavericks recent victory in the NBA champs.

The Dallas Mavericks proved to be the best team in the NBA this season. Many people thought that they were lacking in star players, but they showed us that stars or not, team work and passion can help win anything – even an NBA title! The Mavericks defeated the Miami Heat in a six game series to grab the title, outplaying the Heat in almost every department.

5 Destructive MLB Injuries in 2011

Injuries are always damaging for the teams. Whenever any player gets injures it is not just the individual but the team who suffers. When a player is particularly important for the team, and if the team relies on him too much, then a sudden injury or two can devastate a team’s season. In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at five key players in MLB who got injured this year.

5. Rafael Furcal
The injury prone player has got himself into trouble again. He broke his left hand thumb while head sliding in the third base in April and hasn’t returned to the field till now. He is a key player for the Dodgers’ offense and the team needs him back badly! The team is already lagging behind in its division and without the influential Furcal it could be a long and painful season for the fans!

The 5 Best NFL Head Coaches

Top level coaches have the craziest job of them all. They work day in day out with their team in the knowledge that one run of bad results and they could be sent packing and their career could be over. They are the people who can lift up the team’s spirits in bad situations and who can make a weak team competitive by getting the best out of the players at their disposal. In this football scoreboards article, I have taken a look at the 5 coaches in the NFL today who I consider to be the best in their trade.

5. Sean Payton
The New Orleans Saints were struggling quite badly when Sean Payton was signed as the coach of the team. The fans were relieved when they got this news because Payton came with a great reputation. Prior to signing Payton as the head coach, the football scoreboards showed that the New Orleans had made it to the playoffs just five times in 39 years and were in bad shape. Payton came in as the life saver for New Orleans. Under his coaching, the team has made it to the playoffs three out of five times and have also won the Super Bowl once.

The 4 Most Regretful First Round MLB Picks

Everyone looks forward to the drafts each season. They brings teams and fans new talented players, as well as new talented flops-to-be. This very much depends on how well the team scouts understand a player and foresee any possible weaknesses. In this baseball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at 4 players who I consider are good for nothing and who have become a liability for the club.

Jeremy Sowers
The Cleveland Indians used their sixth pick to draft Jeremy Sowers who was playing extra ordinarily well and was putting up great numbers before he was drafted. Sowers went on to have an amazing rookie season. Unfortunately, his form started to decline in his sophomore season, and this happened to such a great extent that he never recovered from it and lost his form completely. He was soon demoted to Buffalo, and it just kept going downhill from there.

5 Players in NBA history who Lack Athleticism

The NBA has changed a lot in the modern era. In the early days it didn’t matter if a player was athletic or not, he just had to have a good height and the ability to score. However, nowadays the players have to possess incredible athleticism in order to survive in the league. It’s just too tough out there to be a softy! In this basketball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at five NBA players who have been particularly criticized for their lack of athleticism.

5. Gheorge Mureson
The huge man in the league was a great player of his time. Mureson had an amazing career especially in terms of blocking shots, but he was certainly not the most athletic. Luckily, he played in an era where athleticism was not one of the essentials of a basketball player or else it is doubtful that he would have prospered for so long in the game. His footwork was average but he lacked the stamina that was needed during a match.

The 4 Greatest Club Soccer Rivalries of all Time

The Greatest Club Soccer Rivalries of All Time

In soccer there are some rivalries that are considered “special,” and games played between two such teams are not just a battle for points, but more a battle of pride for the players and fans of as they go at it with an intensity that “normal” matches can rarely produce. Some rivalries are so intense that blood is shed after the match between the fans, although this less common than it was a generation ago. In this soccer scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the most fierce soccer rivalries of them all!

The Top 5 Overpriced Players in the NFL Today

Let’s face it, there are a large number of players in NFL who got hefty contracts but do not deliver the performances to justify the sky high sums that they are paid. Some of these players are simply a waste of the team’s money and the fans’ patience! In this football scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at who, in my opinion, are the 5 most overpriced players currently in the NFL.

5. Kareem Jackson
Kareem Jackson should have played much better than he did last season. It was his rookie year and he had the best chance to prove himself and take advantage of the opportunity given to him by the Houston Texas. He signed a contract with the Texans worth $10 million, and great things were expected of him, but he did very little enough to justify the amount of the contract.

10 Surprising Moments from the NBA Postseason (Part II)

In my previous “basketball scoreboards” article, I discussed five amazing moments from the NBA postseason that we just witnessed. In this article I will continue from where I left and will discuss 5 more crazy moments – and in this article – the craziest of them all!

5. The return of Rajon Rondo
The Celtics guard, Rajon Rondo dislocated his elbow in the semifinals of the Eastern Conference against the Miami Heat. His injury was a great loss to the team and the fans were shocked, but his return later in the same game was astonishing! His return boosted and motivated the players and they went on to win the game. You won’t be able to find any more faithful and dedicated player than Rondo!

MLB’s 5 Most Selfish Players

It seems to be a rule that almost every MLB team has player who thinks only about himself and not of the team as a collective unit. It also seems like more and more of these personalities are appearing in MLB. In a baseball scoreboards feature, I have taken a look at the 5 players who I consider to be the 5 most selfish players of MLB.

5. Carlos Zambrano
Carlos Zambrano plays for the Chicago Cubs and is known for his short temper in Major League Baseball. More often than it seems like all he is interested in is himself and his own performance. He does not react when the team performs well but he certainly does when something goes wrong with him, and then he is ready to start a battle. He has a huge list of fights in the MLB, and a lot of players have fallen prey to his temper! (Unfortunately for them – he is 6′ 5″ and 260 pounds!)

The English Premier League has come to an end and now is the time to take a look back at the season’s top players. The EPL this year has been very unpredictable and the results were often not as they were expected.

This season is also notable for the performances of a few outstanding players. Here is my “soccer scoreboards” top 5 players of this season:

Top 4 Broadcasters in MLB History

Broadcasters or announcers are an important part of every baseball game. They can either make your baseball experience all the more enjoyable and exhilarating, or they can make the same experience an extremely painful ordeal. In this baseball scoreboards article I have taken a look at the top broadcasters or announcers in MLB, whose spoken words can make baseball fans question their strongest perceptions.

1.Vin Scully – Vin Scully is a living legend when it comes to MLB broadcasting and announcing. In the specialized profession of baseball announcing, he is the benchmark in the industry. If a young broadcaster is seeking a career out of the profession, then he has to try and be as good as Vin Scully. Scully started his broadcasting career in 1950 (and is still going strong) with the Dodgers, when they were still called the Brooklyn Dodgers. When he is doing a play-by-play for any game, he doesn’t need any color commentator to assist him in filling in between plays. He was NBC’s lead baseball announcer from 1983 – 1989, and the Hall of Fame awarded him the Ford Frick award in 1982.
