| mike robison | 10/24/2006 |
|
Double Bonus
Once again, the Broham delivers the facts with complete unbias towards his talented, machismatic, and ridiculously good-looking Baltimore Brocheese. However, there are a couple more teams to watch out for in the Double Double Bonus division... | broham | 10/24/2006 |

Carribean Studs - Where It's At

|
The Brocheese Ride Again
From their drunken acquisition in last weekend's Original Recipe draft through their chances of injury, mental blow ups and monster averages, the Broham waddles through the expectations of the 14 players that will make up this season's Brocheese roster. | broham | 9/7/2006 |
|
B-League Keeper Preview
From Europe's most famous bench potato to... the premier keeper in the B-League?!? Believe it, says KFBA keeper guru mrobison. Darko will be posting .850s by December. | mike robison | 8/10/2006 |
|
Original Recipe Keeper Preview
Listen up, people. The KFBA's Mr. Keeper lends his insight on which players are worthy of keeping in all fourteen rounds of the Original Recipe draft. Not in the OR? You know you care, anyway. | mike robison | 7/29/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Breakfast of Champions
Yeah, yeah, the article is a little late. Please excuse the Broham. He's been celebrating his two KF titles with wine, women, and--you guessed it--oodles of crack cocaine. | broham | 6/13/2006 |
|
Lottorific '06
What are these fans so excited about? We're talking about the fifth round here, Willis! | schottsie | 6/1/2006 |
|
The Art Of Trading
Like Isiah, Trantony made a lot of trades this season. Unlike the Knicks, his teams did pretty well. Go inside the startegy that makes him the Anti-Thomas. | trantony (Oceanside) | 4/24/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket - Playoff Edition
What teams are poised to win Kentucky Fried Championships? Read on as the Broham previews the 2006 finals for every league. | broham | 4/4/2006 |
|
May I Have This Dance?
Before Shaq qas in black, he was in purple and gold. But he never led LSU to the Final Four. Score one for Big Baby Davis, who will try to bull his way through UCLA and the winner of Florida-George Mason in Indy. | jessica camerato | 4/1/2006 |
|
Keeping the Window of Opportunity Open
Last year, Gerald Green was dunking over zit-faced teenagers. Now, he and his fellow rookies are helping Boston make an improbable run at the playoffs. | jessica camerato | 3/23/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 16
Better late than never. If you disagree, Broham will come to your house and make you pancakes. | broham | 3/20/2006 |
|
The Lakers' Other League Leader
Guess who leads the league in percentage of baskets assisted? No, not a Phoenix Sun. Sasha Vujacic. And he sat down with KFBA to talk all things Lakers. | nikola olic | 3/15/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 15
As the Kentucky Fried season winds down, a word to the wise: don't let your team play "the right way." Larry Brown-ball will kill a KFAvg faster than crack cocaine. | broham | 3/10/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: All-Star Edition
While KFBA owners were taking it easy, Darko was filling out a change-of-address card. Looks like he might get off the couch in Orlando. | broham | 3/1/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 14
Mehmet Okur ranks as one of Broham's biggest surprises. He even made a few Kentucky Fried All-Star teams. Good thing we don't care about team defense in the KFBA. | broham | 2/15/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 13
As we head into the stretch run of the Kentucky Fried season, the Broham keeps an eye on players who haven't done much for the year but have been hot of late, such as super rook Danny Granger. | broham | 2/9/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 12
Brevin Knight a better player than Dwight Howard? Well, no. But when you consider their keeper values, Knight just may be the better KF player. At least for now.
| broham | 2/3/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 11
Lost in all the Kobe hoopla: Tracy McGrady had a big freakin' week. Don't look now, but the 30 ppg club might have another member by season's end. | broham | 1/25/2006 |
|
Get Your Head in the Game
With all the injuries in their backcourt, the Houston Rockets have had to do precisely that. And the rookie has responded--well, with the inconsistency you'd expect from a rookie. | todd dybas | 1/24/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 10
The way Melo is playing this year, the competition between him and Bron is actually interesting. Throw in Wade and Bosh, and you might have--in KF terms--the best draft class ever. | broham | 1/22/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 9
Sick of seeing Kobe on the front page? Stop him from having 1.600 weeks. Looks like he might become the first guard to win the KF MVP award. | broham | 1/22/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 8
For those of you whose crappy teams have you looking towards next season, you might want to trade for Zaza Pachulia, who, at 21 years old, has improved steadily throughout his two-plus year career. | broham | 1/22/2006 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 7
The Broham waxes poetic about Santa Claus, the Colonel, and Charlie Brown. Clearly he had an excellent Christmas morning. Can the same be said for Kobe? | broham | 12/30/2005 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 6
Big Shaq's return sent ripples through the Association. Three teams featuring the Heat center cracked the top ten this week. | broham | 12/22/2005 |
|
One More Round!
He beat the odds by making it into the NBA despite a piss-poor college career. Now he's looking for just the right home in the KFBA. Are you the owner to provide him with it? If so, pick Shav in the sixteenth round. | doug | 12/19/2005 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 5
Sam "Bat man" Cassell was supposed to have the big offensive outburst in LA this season, but the Clippers real KF hero has been darkhorse MVP candidate Elton Brand. If you passed him over for Andrei Kirilenko... ha ha! | broham | 12/15/2005 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 4
With Paul Pierce in the top four in KF Average and Tony Allen coming back from injury, Boston is the source of lots of great Kentucky Fried news. Now if only Doc would play Al Jefferson. | broham | 12/8/2005 |
|
Devinstating
With the present looking so bright for the Mavs, people neglect to talk about their future. Well, here he is. KFBA brings you an exclusive interview with Devin Harris. | nikola olic | 12/6/2005 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 3
Signs of late November: the Kentucky Fried season is rolling, the fifteenth round is underway, and Kwame Brown still sucks. | broham | 11/30/2005 |
|
The Fifteenth Round
You wouldn't think that after 200-odd picks, there would be anybody worth drafting this late in the game. But there are always some valuable keepers that fall to the fifteenth round... and beyond. | doug | 11/26/2005 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 2
We tried to keep the man nipples on the site, but Primoz Brezec didn't have a remarkable week. D-Wade did, though.
| broham | 11/23/2005 |
|
Jeepers Keepers
Weren't these guys supposed to get better? For a number of reasons, a number of last season's choice keepers are off to terrible starts. Who will rebound and who is bound to disappoint? | doug | 11/19/2005 |
|
Around the Bucket: Week 1
Great things happen to great owners. Just ask Jerry Stackhouse, one of the three players suffering from the curse of the Brocheese. | broham | 11/15/2005 |
|
Ground Zero
Yao had a big Kentucky Fried pre-season. How did your team do? | broham | 11/10/2005 |
|
The Devaluation of Amare Stoudemire
Stating the obvious: Amare's microfracture surgery makes him a less valuable fantasy commodity. But in the keeperable KFBA, just how much value has Stoudemire lost? | steve vinci | 11/5/2005 |
|
Who in the World Is Igor Kokoskov?
No, that's Darko. But Kokoskov is one of his coaches in Detroit. And you'll never guess what Coach Ko had to tell us about the seven-footer. Read this exclusive interview to find out. | nikola olic | 11/3/2005 |
|
Curcuru in Brief
Find out what mischevious point guard, Earl Boykins, does when he's not on the court, and why Congress was so interested in what Shawn Kemp has been up to. | kory curcuru | 10/27/2005 |
|
The Bumper Crop of 2003: Part 3
From Zaza to KK, there were plenty of surprises at the end of the 2003 draft--and even one outside of it, as evidenced by Marquis Daniels' success in Dallas. | broham | 10/25/2005 |
|
The Kentucky Fried Difference
A cross-over customer explains the difference between KFBA and the Yahoo game. Apparently it goes deepr than we rock and they don't. | mike robison | 10/18/2005 |
|
The Bumper Crop of 2003: Part 2
If the Sonics are going to build on last year's success, they'll need their two '03 lotto picks to take big steps forward. Will Ridnour and Collison hit the floor running or will they stumble? | broham | 10/16/2005 |
|
The Bumper Crop of 2003: Part 1
The only thing more blinding than LeBron's draft day suit has been his on-court brilliance. He leads what may one day be recognized as the greatest rookie class in NBA history. | broham | 10/13/2005 |
|
Hornets Preview, Kentucky Fried
| doug | 10/6/2005 |
|
Clippers Preview, Kentucky Fried
| broham | 10/3/2005 |
|
2005 Rookie Projections
True or false: after slipping down to the middle of the first round, Gerald Green will take his vengence on the NBA and put up big numbers this year. Check out our projections for the answer to this and all your rookie-centric questions. | | 9/28/2005 |
|
Bulls Preview, Kentucky Fried
Last year, Kirk Hinrich, Tyson Chandler, and the rest of the Baby Bulls grew up a little bit. Will they keep maturing this season, or will they just get older? | broham | 9/26/2005 |
|
Rockets Preview, Kentucky Fried
.981 wouldn't be a down year for most players, but it was for Tracy McGrady. Will more time to mesh with Yao lead him back to four-digit land? | mike robison | 9/24/2005 |
|
Sixers Preview, Kentucky Fried
You know AI's going to be a Kentucky Fried stud, and Kyle Korver is not. The big question is: what will happen to Chris Webber? Does he have another four-digit season in him, or will he go the way of, well, every other scorer who has shared the court with Iverson? | doug | 9/22/2005 |
|
Sonics Preview, Kentucky Fried
Ray Allen might not be the sexiest KF player (that would be Brian Scalabrine), but he has been one of the most consistent superstars over the past five years. | schottsie | 9/20/2005 |
|
Curcuru in Brief
| kory curcuru | 9/18/2005 |
|
Hawks Preview, Kentucky Fried
Thanks to Billy Knight's, uh, acumen, the Hawks roster has more wings than Schottsie can put away during a football Sunday. Which ones will contribute the most to your Kentucky Fried team? | christian iwasko | 9/18/2005 |
|
Spurs Preview, Kentucky Fried
Check it out. An article without a reference to crack-cocaine. No, it's not about the Blazers, but we were able to work them into the picture. Points for that? | ted bauer | 9/16/2005 |
|
Bucks Preview, Kentucky Fried
If T.J. Ford gets back into a Bucks uni, Milwaukee will make the playoffs. And if he picks up where he left off, the point guard from Texas could register an .800 KF Average. | broham | 9/14/2005 |
|
Celtics Preview, Kentucky Fried
They may not make the playoffs, but according to Broham, the C's are the most exciting NBA team from a Kentucky Fried perspective. Why? Just look what they've done in the last two drafts. | broham | 9/13/2005 |
|
Warriors Preview, Kentucky Fried
When Baron Davis puts up a 1.000 KF Average and leads the Warriors to the playoffs, the Hornets are going to wish they never traded him. | broham | 9/11/2005 |
|
Cavs Preview, Kentucky Fried
LeBron James is the greatest Cav, but Drew Gooden might be the most intriguing. Will he develop into a star? Will he piss off his coaches and get traded for the third time in four years? What will the arrival of Donyell Marshall and Larry Hughes mean for his numbers? | mike robison | 9/10/2005 |
|
Wolves Preview, Kentucky Fried
Sam Cassell tried to hide so he couldn't be traded for Marko Jaric, but it didn't work. Nothing can stop Machiavellian genius Kevin McHale from keeping the team just good enough not to elicit trade demands from KG. | broham | 9/10/2005 |
|
Suns Preview, Kentucky Fried
At the rate Amare's been improving, he'll be a 1.300 player this year. Okay, maybe that's impossible, but he should compete for the Kentucky Fried Player of the Year award--and keep the Suns in the title hunt. | ted bauer | 9/7/2005 |
|
Magic Preview, Kentucky Fried
Is this face of the NBA's next-game changing power forward? Broham says yes. So, draft Dwight Howard early and watch him surpass bitchy Steve Francis and creaky Grant Hill as the Magic's main man. | broham | 9/6/2005 |
|
Grizzlies Preview, Kentucky Fried
Pau Gasol was the unequivocal leader of the Spanish national team and he led them to a European championship. Now he'll assume the same role in Memphis. Nobody's expecting the same result, but a playoff birth--and a four-digit KFAvg--would be nice. | doug | 9/4/2005 |
|
Bobcats Preview, Kentucky Fried
Take a potential KF all-star, add a couple of intriguing rookies, sprinkle with a forgtotten big man, and garnish with irrelevant wings. What do you have? Bobcats a la Schottsie. | schottsie | 9/2/2005 |
|
Nets Preview, Kentucky Fried
Is Jason Kidd all the way back from injury? Will Vince Carter continue to play well, or will he park his butt at center court and refuse to move till the Nets trade him? Only the Broham knows for sure. | broham | 9/1/2005 |
|
Lakers Preview, Kentucky Fried
For those of you who are new to the site: Broham really hates Kwame Brown. After a season of coaching him, will Phil Jackson hate him even more? | broham | 8/30/2005 |
|
Pistons Preview, Kentucky Fried
Is this the year Darko breaks out? Can anybody break out on a team as balanced as the Pistons? Maybe not, but Detroit has an even better team than it's had for the past two years. The KFBA's loss is the NBA's gain. | mike robison | 8/30/2005 |
|
Mavs Preview, Kentucky Fried
Dallas used to be the land of Kentucky Fried stalwarts, but now, only Dirk is guaranteed to put up numbers. Who among his current teammates can help your KF team--not to mention the Mavs? | michael gould | 8/28/2005 |
|
Pacers Preview, Kentucky Fried
If Ron Artest can stay out of the stands and Jermaine O'Neal and Jamaal Tinsley can stay off the IR, the Pacers have the best chance of unseating the Pistons as Eastern Conference champs. Just don't tell Shaq. | broham | 8/27/2005 |
|
Who Wants Previews?
| | 10/7/2005 |
|
Looking Back at the '02 Draft
Amare's been awesome, Skita has sucked, and Jay Williams is lucky to be alive. As for Drew Gooden, he may be an NBA bust, but he's been a Kentucky Fried stalwart. Where should you take these guys--and their classmates--in this year's draft? | broham | 8/25/2005 |
|
Kings Preview, Kentucky Fried
The decline in C-Webb's production--and the rise in Kenny Thomas'-- after last season's big trade bodes well for the KFAvg of new King, Shareef Abdur-Rahim. What else is gonna happen in Sacto this year? | doug | 8/25/2005 |
|
The Disasterous Draft Class of 2001
Kwame and Kedrick Brown... DeSagana Diop... Rodney White... and that's just the lottery. Is there anybody from this class you want playing on your KF team? Well, sure there is. | broham | 8/23/2005 |
|
Heat Preview, Kentucky Fried
Before you start doing deep knee bends in prepartation for jumping on the Heat bandwagon, read why Broham thinks the blockbuster trade won't work out like Pat Riley thinks it will. | broham | 8/23/2005 |
|
Wizards Preview, Kentucky Fried
The most shocking thing about this Wiz preview is how few words Broham devotes to his man-crush, Gilbert Arenas. In fact, Peter John Ramos and Andray Blatche get more ink. Read on for more surprises. | broham | 8/22/2005 |
|
Jazz Preview, Kentucky Fried
Can Carlos Boozer overcome the bad karma he created last summer and play a whole year? Can Mehmet Okur play enough defense to stay in the rotation? These are just some of the questions KF owners should be asking about Utah's only pro sports team. | broham | 8/21/2005 |
|
Knicks Preview, Kentucky Fried
Eveyone at KFBA headquarters wanted to rip the horrible team that Isiah has assembled--so bad that a fight boke out in the lunch room. Broham utlimately won the chance, thanks to his patented spinning pile driver. | broham | 8/20/2005 |
|
Dream World
Now that the ultimate Team USA has been selected, they need an opponent. Enter Michael Gould's All-World sqaud. Before you ask, Darko didn't make the cut. | michael gould | 8/17/2005 |
|
Blazers Preview, Kentucky Fried
Three seasons removed from their last taste of success, the Blazers are a team in transition. And given all the inexperienced but dynamic players they plan to suit up this season, transition might be the only way they'll score. | broham | 8/16/2005 |
|
Raptors Preview, Kentucky Fried
Donyell Marshall's departure is one of the reasons Chris Bosh is going to become a top ten KFBA forward this year. As for the rest of the Raps, the outlook isn't too sunny. | doug | 8/15/2005 |
|
Nuggets Preview, Kentucky Fried
Since the summer is heating up, we thought it was about time to start previewing NBA teams from a Kentucky Fried perspective. First up: The Nuggs. | doug | 8/9/2005 |
|
Dream USA
If USA Basketball were preparing for an Olympic-style tournament in the near future, they would be wise to build their team around this guy (not Stephen Jackson). They're not preparing for a tournament, you say? You're right, but it's summer. Hypotheticals are all we have. | doug | 8/4/2005 |
|
For Better and For Worse: Part 1
Early in the free-agent season, most of the market's high-impact players remain unsigned. But of the guys who have agreed to switch teams, a number will see significant differences in their KF Averages. Five to be exact. | doug | 7/22/2005 |
|
That Was Zen
A tenth championship may not be in Phil Jackson's immediate future, but if history is a reliable indicator, the Lakers will improve under his mentorship. Which players' numbers will rise, as a result? | michael gould | 7/9/2005 |
|
Report Card Day
How did our guy Steve Vinci do in his mock? If you forget about his whiffs on Villanueva and Andriuskevicius, pretty damn good. He hit more picks on the button than one Chard Ford. And that earned him the right to grade NBA teams on their draft performances. | steve vinci | 7/6/2005 |
|
Still Hungover in San Antonio
A week after the Finals ended, our intrepid reporter woke up in a sleazy San Antonio motel room with a new tattoo on his ass and this article wedged between his shoe and an empty Jaegermeister bottle. | nikola olic | 7/1/2005 |
|
Finals Fallout
What happens with Larry Brown could affect the NBA in many complicated and unforeseen ways. See for yourself. | ted bauer | 6/27/2005 |
|
Mock Us Not
One thing to be gleaned from Kentucky Fried Basketball's first round NBA mock: Gerald Green is the key to the lotto. | steve vinci | 6/25/2005 |
|
Sophomore (or less)
Broham is so excited for next season that he couldn't wait to project how this year's rookies would perform. Warning: this is the only Robert Swift content you'll read all summer. | broham | 6/17/2005 |
|
Darko Days
Darko Milicic likes breakdancing, zydeco music, feeding the ducks, and playing basketball. As he conveyed in this exclusive KFBA interview at the NBA Finals, he really wishes he were doing more of the last. | nikola olic | 6/17/2005 |
|
The Texas Triangle
When teams enter one of the three Texas NBA arenas, they often don't come out alive. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but it's still a hellacious state for basketball squads to visit. | nikola olic | 6/9/2005 |
|
Fin-ished as a Starter?
Thanks to age, injuries, and the re-emergence of Jerry Stackhouse, Michael Finley's days as a starter may be over. What will that mean for the Mavs as a team and their players as Kentucky Fried investments? | michael gould | 6/4/2005 |
|
Beno-ficial
From Kentucky Fried keeper to the NBA Finals? Read what Beno Udrih has to say about his rookie season in this exclusive (and genuine) KFBA interview. | nikola olic | 6/1/2005 |
|
A Creaky Floor
If the NBA bans teens, draft night will become a lot less interesting for guys like last year's number one pick, Dwight Howard. Kentucky Fried Draft day will become a lot less interesting as well. | doug | 5/30/2005 |
|
The Judges Have Spoken
And by judges, we mean you. Read what you said about the KFBA, and how we intend to address your criticisms this off-season. | broham | 5/25/2005 |
|
Place Your Bets
Some underclassman declarees, like Shav Randolph, aren't banking on getting drafted; they just want feedback from scouts and GMs. We've got some feedback for you, Shav. Don't even think about the league until you average more than 5 points a game. | jessica camerato | 5/23/2005 |
|
A Bad IDea
If the NBA covers its franchises with a blanket age limit, it risks hiding the next Amare for two years. And for a league trying to build a new generation of stars, that's two years too long. | doug | 5/21/2005 |
|
Trophy Time
Which superstar won the coveted Kentucky Fried Playa of the Year award? Unlike the NBA MVP balloting, none of our writers voted for PJ Brown. But somebody did vote for Travis Outlaw. And we're revoking his press credentials. | broham | 5/18/2005 |
|
Dead-Eye Dirk
Thanks to their superstar's best offensive performance of the series, the Mavs pulled even with Phoenix at two games a piece. Read what the big guy said about his team's performance. Sorry, no Damp-dissing today. | nikola olic | 5/17/2005 |
|
Lottorific
What screams "Party" louder than the KFBA lottery? Mark Cuban matching Charles Barkley tequilla shot for tequilla shot. Our profesional Master of Ceremonies Schottsie takes you inside one crazy Thursday. | schottsie | 5/13/2005 |
|
Avery's Answers
If Johnson looked this stressed after his team beat the Rockets in game seven of the first round, imagine what he looked like after the Suns demolished the Mavs in game one of the semis. | nikola olic | 5/13/2005 |
|
In the Zona
The Suns aren't the only reason Arizona basketball is flourishing. Want more reasons why the Grand Canyon State is a hoops hotbed? Watch the NBA playoffs. | ted bauer | 5/9/2005 |

Stacking the Chips
Shoulda-been Sixth Man of the Year Jerry Stackhouse set the scene for the seventh game of the Rockets/Mavs series. A KFBA Exclusive (read: real) Interview. | nikola olic | 5/7/2005 |
|
Seven Games over Texas
If Dallas loses the rubber match to the Rockets, Dirk Nowitzki will have to answer questions about why the Mavs couldn't win more than one game at home and why he couldn't dominate like he did in the regular season. | nikola olic | 5/7/2005 |
|
Stoppers?
Rookies Tony Allen and Andre Igoudala came into the playoffs noted for their defense. Then Reggie Miller and Rip Hamilton got ahold of them. Now, Ig's on vacation and Allen might as well be with all the time he spends on the bench. | todd dybas | 5/6/2005 |
|
Kentucky Fried Surprises
Better late than never. Hedo Turkoglu's bust-out season helped keep Orlando in contention and stunned his Kentucky Fried owners. What other players had the most shocking seasons? | doug | 5/1/2005 |
|
Miles to Go
In the Blazers' second-to-last game of the season, Darius Miles went off for 47 and 12--off the bench. If he'd been anywhere near this productive at the beginning of the season, he probably would have kept his starting job. | scott tienken | 4/27/2005 |
|
Point, Counterpoint
What's the one constant among title teams? Steady play at the point guard throughout the playoffs. This postseason features a wide array of floor generals--from traditional distributors to big-time scorers. Which "ones" will have the greatest impact on their squads? | scott tienken | 4/23/2005 |
|
Tele-Porter?
After leading his team to the playoffs last season, rumor has it Terry Porter's job's in jeopardy. Yeah, it's his fault a team that starts Dan Gadzuric and Joe Smith up front couldn't make the post-season. | doug | 4/21/2005 |
|
A Fan's Diary
Last week's Rockets/Nuggets game was one of the biggest of the waining season. It was also one of the most boring. Good thing the fans got to see some girl denying her date a kiss on the Jumbo-tron. | ted bauer | 4/19/2005 |
|
Bottoms Up
The summer starts soon for almost half of the NBA, but all lottery teams are not created equal. Some of them have reason to be hopeful about the future. | steve vinci | 4/17/2005 |
|
Like Chocolate Shrimp
The NBA is good, and so is TV. But put them together and the product makes you wretch--at least when Rick Kamla's on the air. | ted bauer | 4/14/2005 |
|
Dog Days
The NCAA tournament reminds Scott Tienken just how mundane this part of the NBA season is: full of meaningless games. But it doesn't have to be this way. | scott tienken | 4/13/2005 |
|
Understudies
The NCAA championship game featured a lot of stars, but the role players went a long way in deciding its outcome. | jessica camerato | 4/11/2005 |
|
Bermanizing the Knicks
With few tradable assets and no cap room, Isiah Thomas is going to have a hard time rebuilding the Knicks. Thank god he has the Post's Marc Berman to help him. | doug | 5/30/2005 |
|
Coaches 'R Us
Does any job come with less security than NBA coach? As many as 11 teams may be looking for new leadership this summer. With all the firings that took place this season, there won't be a shortage of candidates. | ted bauer | 4/6/2005 |
|
Supersize Them
There may be no Brons or Dwight Howards in this year's senior class, but there is a Gerald Green. At last week's McDonald's All-American game, he tried to prove his game has more Kobe than Travis Outlaw. | steve vinci | 4/4/2005 |
|
Run of the Mill
From beating the Knicks to, well, beating the Knicks, Reggie Miller's career has been full of memorable moments. But the most memorable of all? Getting goosed by a security guard at Conseco Field House. | todd dybas | 3/31/2005 |
|
Dance Lessons
Anybody else have Georgia Tech knocking off Louisville in the second round? The Cards are in the Final Four and they don't give a damn whose bracket they ruined. | jessica camerato | 3/29/2005 |
|
Silas Scapegoated
Remember when the future looked bright in Cleveland? Now Boozer is gone, the bench is thin, and Bron might be bolting when his contract expires... all because of Paul Silas' lousy coaching. | steve vinci | 3/28/2005 |
|
Weathering the Storm
With two rounds of the tournament done, one thing's for sure: We won't see Taylor Coppenrath play college basketball again. And it's a damn shame with the way he and the rest of the Catamounts played. | jessica camerato | 3/25/2005 |
|
Basketball Moms
They may not make orange smiles for the team, but they're as important to the NBA as their minivan-driving counterparts are to your local youth soccer league. Just ask AI. | kory curcuru | 3/23/2005 |
|
Tall, But Not Big
Sorry Shawn Bradley--Yao is the tallest skilled basketball player in the NBA. He's got range, shot blocking skills, great footwork, and he's seven-freaking-five. So why isn't he dominant? | scott tienken | 3/23/2005 |
|
Mary J in the NBA
The NBA would like you to focus on its young stars, but its seedy underbelly has been revealed. Better call Congress and bust out the urine cups. | matthew tzuker | 3/18/2005 |
|
Christmas in March
Washington's Nate Robinson got his present--a surprising number one seed for the Huskies. What does the holiday hold in store for U-dub and the rest of the field? | jessica camerato | 3/17/2005 |
|
Ainge Ya Glad He Got Toine?
Actually, there are reasons other than the Walker trade for C's fans to praise Danny. He had a whale of a draft, brought in the Glove, and hired Doc Rivers. And that was just this season. | steve vinci | 3/15/2005 |
|
The Biggest Dance
We hear there's some sort of college basketball single-elimination tournament happening soon. Not sure what that's about--we've been too busy handicapping the KFBA playoffs, which started this week. | broham | 3/15/2005 |
|
Baby Bloomers
If he hasn't made UConn fans forget about Ben Gordon and Emeka Okafor, Rudy Gay has at least eased the pain their departures caused. Which other freshmen give their teams a chance in the tourney? | jessica camerato | 3/13/2005 |
|
The Twelfth Man
Is there any more difficult job in the world than NBA twelfth man? With all those injuries to fake and conversations to initiate, it's a good thing guys like Brian Scalabrine have a consultant they can turn to. | kory curcuru | 3/12/2005 |
|
The Race for Number Eight
Can George Karl keep the Nuggets streaking towards the playoffs? Or will the Timberwolves finally remember how to play basketball? One thing's for sure; the Lakers and Clippers have no shot. Or do they? | ted bauer | 3/11/2005 |
|
Another Nightmare
Remember when shattering backboards counted as reality TV? Now we've got "NBA Dream Job," a show where formerly mediocre NBAers prove they played the game much better than they talk about it. | kory curcuru | 3/9/2005 |
|
Cav'ing In
Weren't the Cavs the NBA's hot young team not too long ago? Now, after a six-game skid, their postseason seems to be in jeopardy. Hey Drew Gooden, get your ass off the bench and do something about it. | matt colantonio | 3/8/2005 |
|
Ode to Mo
Basketball and poetry goes together better than Vince Carter and fadeaway 20-foot jump shots. Just ask Shaq, AI, CWebb, or any of the other wordsmith MC's the NBA has cultivated. | ted bauer | 3/6/2005 |
|
Chane Reaction
St. Joe's forward John Bryant isn't the first person John Chaney has tried to goon up. This is just the latest in a long series of events that should bring an end to Chaney's successful but tumultuous coaching career. | steve vinci | 3/6/2005 |
|
Old Flames Never Burn Out
When Travis Diener broke his hand last week, Marquette's tourney bubble went pop. And one of the great relationships in recent college basketball history ended. | jessica camerato | 3/5/2005 |
|
Six-Shooters
The starters shouldn't have all the fun. So we put together an All-Star team of NBA bench players. This squad of Sixth Man of the Year candidates could score 110 a night... but it would give up 120. | steve vinci | 3/3/2005 |
|
10 Things That Will Definitely Happen
Will Rafael Araujo be the Rookie of the Year? Will the Milwaukee Bucks get hot and make the playoffs? Will Ron Artest storm David Stern's office and beat the commish until he reinstates him? Of course not. But here are some things that definitely will happen this season. | ted bauer | 3/2/2005 |
|
An Upsetting Story
Not "upsetting" like Sean Banks' inability to get his act together or the injury that ended Travis Diener's career. Villanova's been stomping most of the top teams it's faced this year. Oh, and the Cats beat Maryland-Baltimore County, too. | jessica camerato | 3/1/2005 |
|
Amare Picture Book
Hey kids! See Amare Stoudemire dunk on a bunch of fools who don't belong in the same gym with him. Only at KFBA.net! | The Broham | 2/28/2005 |
|
Triumphant Re-Toine
Walker never did look right in that Hawks uniform. Now he's back in Boston, where he's enjoyed the greatest success of his career. Will he fit into the C's new system and gel with new teammates? | steve vinci | 2/27/2005 |
|
Booster Shot
Yeah, yeah, Chris Webber's inside-outside game will undoubtedly boost Philly's playoff hopes. But nobody's talking about what his arrival will mean for a certain sleeper candidate's MVP chances. | doug | 2/27/2005 |
|
The Baron of Oakland
Will a return to his native Cali help Baron Davis realize his potential? Will he help the Warriors become a repsectable basketball team for the first time in years? One thing's for sure--he can't make them any worse. | ted bauer | 2/26/2005 |
|
Adrift in the Atlantic
Next time Toine sees Al Jefferson, he won't have to admire his jersey. Once again, Walker has a Celtics uni of his own. Can he and new Sixer Chris Webber change the fortunes of the worst division in professional sports? | todd dybas | 2/24/2005 |
|
Mile High Expectations
The Nuggs have a lot of young talent and, now, a big-name coach. George Karl is 7-4 in his first 11 games with the team, but in the long term, is he the right man to motivate Carmelo Anthony and make Denver stop suckin'? | ted bauer | 2/26/2005 |
|
Character Actors
Fighting pitbulls, racial ephitents, bounced checks--weren't the Blazers supposed to be overhauling their image? Maybe instead of focusing on character, the franchise should try get better basketball players. | scott tienken | 2/21/2005 |
|
Step in the Arenas
The argument of whether Broham's man-crush on Gilbert Arenas is bigger than Schottsie's man-crush on LeBron James is finally settled once and for all. | broham | 2/26/2005 |
|
Actions Speak Louder
As the pros wind down to the All-Star break, the collegians are heating up. And nowhere is NCAA hoop hotter than on Tobacco Road, where Jawad Williams and his UNC teammates are prepping for a tourney run. | jessica camerato | 2/26/2005 |
|
All-Star Fever
The best thing about the KFBA All-Star game? Puff Daddy and Nelly are banned from the arena. The second best thing? Some conferences are bad enough that they have to play Zarko Cabarkapa. | broham | 2/16/2005 |
|
Pardon the Kentucky Fried Interruption
When the Broham and Colonel get drunk and bored, they like to hop on their PC's and play Wilbon and Kornheiser. And then they threaten to can me if I don't publish their ramblings. | | 2/15/2005 |
|
Rocketing up the Standings
Don't look now, but Houston, winner of its last seven games, is clouding an already murky Western Conference playoff picture. And they're doing it despite having only one decent player taller than 6'8". | ted bauer | 2/15/2005 |
|
Father and Suns
Sure, Steve Nash has been a great influence on Pheonix's young stars, like Amare Stoudamire and Shawn Marion, on the court, but we had no idea how far his mentoring went. | matthew tzuker | 2/11/2005 |
|
Beware the Hubie-ites
Hubie Brown, Mike Fratello, Scott Skiles. All three may be successful NBA coaches, but because of their spread-the-wealth philosophies, their players may not help your Kentucky Fried team. | scott tienken | 2/9/2005 |
|
Building with Bobcats
Yeah, yeah, we all know about Emeka Okafor, but rumor has it some other guys play for the Charlotte Bobcats. The question is, can any of them contribute to your Kentucky Fried team? | ted bauer | 2/8/2005 |
|
Kentucky Fried All-Star Fortnight
To honor the greatest players in the Association, KFBA will be holding All-Star games from Sunday, February 13th through Saturday, February 26th. Each conference sends their best players to do battle in the two-week-long game. | leigh | 2/9/2005 |
|
Hardwood Notes
It's February in the KFBA (and, we're told, the rest of the world), so contenders are trying to build title teams, while the also-rans are looking to stock up keepers for next season. What does that mean? Tons of Trevor Ariza trades. | broham | 2/4/2005 |
|
ABA Flashback
No, not the ABA where wannabe pop-star owners attack their female coaches in the middle of games. The ABA where poofy afros, sweet-shooting point guards, and tri-colored balls reigned supreme. | kory curcuru | 2/2/2005 |
|
Come Alive at the Deadline
Defying conventional wisdom, the Nets have seemingly improved their team by adding Vince Carter. His Kentucky Fried owners have been pleased by the move as well. What big trades are coming next and how will they affect your sqaud? Read on to find out. | charles trillingham | 2/2/2005 |
|
With the 149th pick in the KF Draft...
...or threreabouts, you probably picked a player who doesn't start for his NBA team. That doesn't necessarily mean he shouldn't start for your squad. A number of guys who play around 20 minutes a night have been very, very productive. | matt dewhurst | 1/30/2005 |
|
D-Wades in the Rough
In one season's time, Dwayne Wade has gone from productive rookie to Kentucky Fried franchise player. Which of this season's rooks have similar stat-raising potential? Here's a preview: not Ha Seung-Jin. | steve vinci | 1/28/2005 |
|
Bat-man?
Twelve years ago, the Weekly World News reported that a half-bat, half-boy lived deep in the West Virginia caves. Now, the Kentucky Fried Press has discovered that a relative of bat-boy's may be playing in the NBA. | matthew tzuker | 1/26/2005 |
|
Jackson Will Spark the Suns
The same Jim Jackson who's played for the Heat and eleven other teams in his NBA career is going to help the best team in the NBA? That's what Matt Colantonio says. And if you look at the Suns depleted bench, you just might agree with him. | matt colantonio | 1/24/2005 |
|
Arroyo's Arrival
Once again, the Pistons get something for nothing as the trade deadline draws closer. Can Carlos Arroyo help them surge to the NBA Finals, as Rasheed Wallace did last season? | doug | 1/23/2005 |
|
We Like Football, Too
Especially during playoff time. Schottsie even took time off from making LeBron James collages to make some predictions. | schottsie | 1/21/2005 |
|
The Mehmet Mystery
Among Kentucky Fried centers, Okur trails only Shaq, TD, Jermaine O'Neal, and Yao in productivity, yet he can't beat out Curtis Borchardt for a spot in Utah's starting lineup. What gives? | doug | 1/19/2005 |
|
Time to Pull the Plug
We're halfway through the KF regular season--time for the sorriest teams to give up their playoff dreams (and their marquee players). | broham | 1/8/2005 |
|
Don't Shoot the Coach
Thanks to fickle GM's who feel the pressure to win now, NBA head coaches have a shorter shelf life than cantalope. But how can a coach be expected to win before he has the chance to assemble his kind of team? | doug | 1/5/2005 |
|
Mr. Irrele-vince
Just this summer, Vince Carter was untradable. Now the Nets got him for a bag of donuts. What does this say about the former Air-apparent? More importantly, what does it mean for your Kentucky Fried team? The Broham examines. | broham | 12/30/2004 |
|
Around the Association
Six weeks into the season, new leagues are sprouting and old leagues are tangling for the highest average score. | broham | 12/22/2004 |
|
Wake Me When It's Over
The sixteenth round may not have all the excitement of, say, the first, but there are still some decent players to choose from. Kirk Snyder's available in one league, Zoran Planinic in another. In case you don't get a shot at those guys, here are some other options. | doug | 12/22/2004 |
|
The Wall of Fame
The Kentucky Fried Basketball Association is proud to introduce its inagural class of Wall-of-Famers. It was supposed to be "Hall"-of-Famers, but after a wild weekend in Tiajuana, all we could afford was a wall. | colonel | 12/7/2004 |
|
Ups and Downs
At the KFBA season's quarter-point, there have been a number of surprises: some good (Larry Hughes), some bad (Chris Bosh), and some irrelevant to everybody. Wanna know the biggest surprise? The Broham's teams are actually winning. | broham | 12/9/2004 |
|
Who Cares About the 15th Round?
You should if your team's not playing well. Even if your squad's rocking the league, this is your chance to score a super-sleeper keeper. Want to know which players can help you out? Here are the Broham's picks. | broham | 12/1/2004 |
|
D Wade for MVP
Six months ago, he was the third best player in his rookie class. Now he's the most valuable player in the KFBA? That's what the Broham thinks. At least for now. | broham | 11/23/2004 |
|
Shopping Spree
NBA teams are peddling their mediocre, overpaid, and cancerous players. Any takers? | doug | 12/6/2004 |
|
Week One Is Done
The Jazz look like this year's version of the Detroit Pistons, and the Pistons look more like the Phoenix Suns. Andrei Kirilenko looks like a max player and Tracy McGrady looks like he misses Orlando. Gotta love Week one! | broham | 11/15/2004 |
|
Fool's Gold
It's easy to get hooked on drafting rookies when looking for the next breakout sensation, but LeBron and Carmelo are the exceptions--most players have no impact in their first seasons. | broham | 11/12/2004 |

Rating the Rookies
Which rookies should you target in your Kentucky Fried Draft? Here's Schottsie's advice. Buyer beware: Schottsie likes drafting rookies even more than he likes doing beer bongs. | schottsie | 10/16/2004 |

The Value of a Solid Bench
There may not be any superstars to choose from, but the players you draft in rounds five through eight will play important roles on your team. Here's who the Broham thinks you should take. | broham | 10/10/2004 |

What's in Store for Twenty Oh Four
The Colonel hasn't slept all off-season, and not only because of the aderol. He's been frantically cooking up some delectable changes that promise to make the second season of Kentucky Fried Basketball even tastier than the first! | colonel | 9/16/2004 |

A Hollywood Drama
Will the Tinseltown Tragedy have a happy ending for Kobe, Shaq, and the Kentucky Fried owners who draft them? | alouidor | 8/3/2004 |
|
Fresh Meat
Ah, training camp. Where veterans are veterans and rookies are errand boys. "Get my car washed, pick up some donuts, go talk to Bush so the rest of us won't have to." Which rooks will survive the summer and make an impact this fall? The Broham examines. | broham | 7/27/2004 |
|
The Rhythm Method
Sally Anthony, owner of the ABA's Nashville Rhythm, wants to provide opportunities for "qualified females." No doubt about it, new coach, Vandy alum Ashley McElhiney, is female. But is she qualified? It depends how you define the term. | doug | 6/2/2004 |
|
Jesus Power (Forward)
Those braces make projected lotto pick Dwight Howard look awfully young. His ideas about Christianizing the NBA make him seem awfully naive. Will coaches, playes, and fans find basketball's newest missionary refreshing or revolting? | doug | 5/10/2004 |
|
The March to San Antonio
Taylor Coppenrath and his fellow Catamounts can feel good about their Final Four chances... at least until Thursday night, when they lock up with the UConn Huskies. Which Cinderellas will wear the glass slippers this year? | doug | 3/31/2004 |
|
High Risers
All you owners who aren't in the play-offs, it's time to start thinking about next season. Who should you draft? Who should keep? Don't make any decisions before reading Broham's list of players whose stock has risen the most this year. | broham | 3/31/2004 |
|
Down the Stretch
LeBron looks much better in his Cavs' uniform than he did in this blinding draft day suit... especially when he's posterizing people. But can the rookie lead Cleveland to the playoffs? Guess what Schottsie's answer is. | schottsie | 3/31/2004 |
|
Nowhere Fast
Maurice Cheeks might be happy that Sheed is gone, and Glenn Robinson might be thrilled that the Sixers have a new coach, but did either move actually improve the team that made it? Is there any way to improve Portland or Philly? | doug | 2/14/2004 |
|
As the Kookie Krumbles
Wasn't this supposed to be the year that Krause's Baby Bulls grew up? Broham sure thought so, but after a horrible half-season, he's convinced they suffer from Peter Pan syndrome. Is it time to evacuate the nursery? | broham | 3/31/2004 |
|
The New Look Knicks
Is Isaiah shrugging because he can't believe he got Marbury and Lenny Wilkens, or because he has no idea what to do next? If he can't build a conference power, "Fire Thomas!" will be the next chant rocking the Garden. | doug | 1/22/2004 |
|
End of the Draft
Finally... the Kentucky Fried Draft is coming to a close. But don't lose focus--a good pick in the sixteenth round can be a franchise building block for seasons to come. Should you take Josh Howard? Keyon Dooling? Michael Bradley? Here's what the Broham thinks. | broham | 3/31/2004 |
|
The Fifteenth Round
If your Kentucky Fried All-Star game was held today, Ronald Murray would likely be on one of the rosters... that is if somebody in your league had drafted him. Here's your chance to atone for draft day mistakes. It's the fifteenth round! | broham | 3/31/2004 |
|
Teamwork
With Gary Payton and Karl Malone around, the Lakers could put up an even higher KF average than they posted last year, when they ranked third in the entire NBA. Who finished above them? One of the teams will surprise you. | jose | 11/12/2003 |
|
Fire Away!
By adding Twan and Toine to what was already the most potent offense in the league, Dallas is attempting to score more points than the rest of the teams in the NBA. Combined. For evey Mav to maintain his fantasy value, they may have to. | broham | 11/4/2003 |
|
From the O.R.
Chris Webber is a fantastic Kentucky Fried player... when he's not laid up with an injury. Be leery of the the fragile superstar come draft day, warns Doctor A. Talent doesn't do you any good when it's sitting on the bench. | doctor a | 10/17/2003 |

|
Midwest Division Notes
With a new coach and a new offensive scheme, is this the year the Houston Rockets make the playoffs? Only if the Great Wall doesn't crumble. It's only October and Yao's already drained. That's what happens when you don't get an off-season. | colonel | 10/9/2003 |
|
Appraising the Nuggets
Nene Hilario may have shortened his name to Nene, but has his game expanded? Doctor A examines the Brazilian forward, and the rest of the Denver Nuggets. We're still waiting on the results of Marcus Camby's MRI. | doctor a | 10/8/2003 |
|
Pacific Division Notes
Which team did the best job this off-season? How about the one that brought in two future hall of famers? Some people doubt whether the Lakers will be as good as advertised, but not the Broham. He thinks L.A. could win 75 games. | broham | 10/7/2003 |
|
Kentucky Fried Preview: Keepers
While rival owners are drooling over Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, you should be trying to figure out which less-publicized young players have the best shot at stardom. Remember, this year's late draft picks are next season's keepers. | doug | 10/6/2003 |

Kentucky Fried Preview: Snoozers
Ben Wallace may be one of the most exciting players in the NBA, but he's not the kind of guy you want to build your Kentucky Fried franchise around. Here are eleven other players you should be leery of selecting on draft day. | doug | 9/24/2003 |

Kentucky Fried Preview: Free Agents
For part two of our fabulous fantasy season preview, the KFBA staff takes a close look at the stars who changed uniforms this off-season. Looks like Gilbert Arenas missed a spot when he was shaving this morning. | colonel | 9/24/2003 |

Sure, Amare Stoudamire had a great inaugural season, but that doesn't mean that most rookies do. In fact, most of them flounder from a statistical standpoint. Consider that before you draft. | broham | 9/24/2003 |

Rocky Mountain Revue in Review
The Broham had so much fun analyzing the Reebok Pro Summer League numbers, he decided to do the same with the Rocky Mountain Revue. | broham | 10/4/2003 |

Round Two Recap
USA vs. Argentina lived up to the hype; Team Puerto Rico continued to impress. Find out what else happened in San Juan this week. | antonio | 8/29/2003 |

Rhyme Time
If basketball players can rhyme, why not basketball writers? Schottsie's NBA preview may be less Dr. Dre than Dr. Seuss, but it's sure to grant him instant street cred, nonetheless. | schottsie | 8/28/2003 |
|
Argentina vs. Puerto Rico
In a thrilling down-to-the-wire contest, Team Visa eeked by Team Master Card 85-80. Actually it was Argentina that beat Puerto Rico by that score, but thanks to the corporate sponsors, you can barely tell who's playing at the Olympic Qualifying Tournament. | antonio | 8/26/2003 |

All-Bad Contract Team
Surprise, surprise... Vin Baker made Doug's first annual All-Bad Contract First Team. So did Anfernee Hardaway, and Allan Houston. Want to see the rest of the team, do ya, huh, do ya? | doug | 3/31/2004 |
|
Traded!
Is there any truth to the rumor that Golden State traded for Antoine Rigaudeau, so he could translate for lottery pick, Mickael Pietrus? Okay, they didn't "trade for" Rigaudeau; he came along with Nick Van Exel, who only cost the Warriors their leading scorer. What a steal! | broham | 8/21/2003 |
|
The Times Aren't a-Changin'
Despite acquiring Glenn Robinson, the 76ers didn't move any closer to the top of the Eastern Conference. Actually none of the middle-of-the-road teams did. It's still New Jersey, Detroit, Indiana, and everybody else. | paul | 8/20/2003 |
|
Assume the (New) Position
The Kentucky Fried Positions Committee met over the weekend. Our mission? To finish an entire keg of beer. And to review the position designations of every player in the KFBA. The result? Some really nasty hangovers. | doug | 3/31/2004 |
|
What They're Really Thinking
Trade Rasheed Wallace, cut Damon Stoudamire, slap an ankle monitor on Ruben Patterson. No, the Blazers' pledge to their fans doesn't include personnel plans, but here's what it does say, and better yet, what it all means. | schottsie | 8/14/2003 |
|
Kobe's Favorite Spread
Some other fun facts about Nutella: it tastes great on pretzels and has 11 grams of fat per two-tablespoon serving. But there's no truth to the rumor that "Tractor" Traylor is being presented an endorsement contract. | doug | 8/13/2003 |
|
Five Flailing Franchises
Remember when Vince Carter was going to be the next MJ and the Toronto Raptors were going to make a run at the NBA title? Now, Captain Overrated and his teammates are making a run at a title of a different sort. | doug | 3/31/2004 |
|
Kobe Proves it Again
What do we really know about Kobe Bryant? He's got a wicked fade-away, he speaks Italian, and he committed adultery. Does that last bit make him a poor role model? Paul Roberts says we shouldn't look at athletes as role models to begin with. | paul | 7/27/2003 |

Orlando Summer League Results--Kentucky Fried
The Broham has compiled and analyzed the fantasy numbers of the players who took the court in Orlando. We need to find him a girlfriend. | broham | 10/4/2003 |
|
Bricks
Maciej Lampe has been one of the most consistent of all perimeter shooters in Boston. This is not a good thing. Really, how hard is it to make a jump shot? You know who made jump shots? Tom Coverdale made jump shots. And he looked like a stuffed animal. | Boston Summer League | 7/20/2003 |
|
Comin' Live from Day Five
Among the highlights from today in Boston: our first look at New Jersey's Zoran Planicic. Can he hit from the perimeter? Can anybody in this summer league hit from the perimeter? | Boston Summer League | 7/21/2003 |
|
I'm LeBron James, I'm Tired, Boo-hoo
We finally managed to get into a LeBron game at the Boston Summer League, but the wussy punk was too tired to play. I flew on a red-eye from Portland to Boston on Monday morning, and went straight to work. That's what adults do, LeBron. Show some freakin' heart. | Boston Summer League | 7/18/2003 |
|
Where are the Real Mavericks?
A number of incensed ticket-holder demanded refunds upon learning that Ike Austin, Josh Howard, and Yuta Tabuse didn't make the trip. But the new Mavs gave a show to the fans remained, scoring 101 points. Too bad they gave up 103. | Boston Summer League | 8/11/2003 |
|
T.J. Has a J?
If the last two days are any indication, Ford can shoot it better than advertised. Marcus Haislip, Jarvis Hayes, and Efthimios Rentzias have looked good too. Michael Sweetney caught the inactivitiy disorder from Maciej Lampe. | Boston Summer League | 7/16/2003 |

Boston Pro Summer League Rosters
If you don't know which summer league team Cookie Belcher plays for, you're in luck. | | 7/15/2003 |

Maciej Lampe Sucks!
The Colonel and Doug Roberts break down their observations of the first two summer league games in Boston, where the Bucks outlasted the Knicks and Atlanta's B Squad clobbered the Wizard's future stars. | Boston Summer League | 7/14/2003 |
|
Miami's Midsummer Night Dream
Thanks to a clerical error, the Miami Heat have instantly become players in the NBA free agent market. Hope Anthony Carter fired his agent over that snafu. | broham | 7/15/2003 |
|
Magic in Orlando
As that Lou Reed song goes, "This is a perfect day." Five dollar basketball, LeBron James, and fraternizing with the Orlando Magic dancers--what more could Schottsie ask for? A phone number from one of the girls would have been nice. | schottsie | 7/15/2004 |
|
Welcome to Milwaukee
Why is T.J. Ford smiling so broadly? Think he realizes that his Milwaukee Bucks are in a far worse position than the team that advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals just three years ago? Oh wait, this picture was taken before they traded for Joe Smith. | broham | 7/9/2003 |
|
Free Agent Handicapping
After going 6-0 against the spread in the NBA Finals and out-mocking the draftnicks at ESPN and NBADraft.net, Schottsie takes on the free agent market. Don't book that flight to Vegas until you read what our resident handicapper has to say. | schottsie | 7/7/2003 |
|
The Lottery Wasteland
"My team didn't make the playoffs this season, and all they got was this lousy power forward." Actually, Nick Collison isn't so lousy. According to the Broham, he has a better chance to produce numbers than any of the other rookies drafted 10-13. | broham | 7/27/2003 |
|
A Mid-Lottery Mess
Just what were the Heat, the Clipps, and the Bulls thinking on draft night, and more importantly, what does all this mean for the Kentucky Fried potential of Dwayne Wade, Chris Kaman, and Kirk Hinrich? The Broham tells all. | broham | 7/31/2003 |
|
The Big Three of 2003
Okay, who's sick and tired of all the hype that LeBron James, Darko Milicic, and Carmelo Anthony have been receiving? Not the Broham. He thinks that all three will be productive NBA players next season. How productive? Take a look for yourself. | broham | 9/21/2003 |
|
Stop Kidding Around
"Come on, Jason," whispered Tim Duncan. "Come join us. The weather's better down here, and we all have our own Playstations." But is Kidd really the best addition the San Antonio Spurs could make? Paul Roberts says absolutely not. | paul | 7/3/2003 |
|
Didn't Get Drafted?
That's okay. Neither did Ben Wallace. And he was so upset about it that he clenched David Stern in a full-nelson until the commissioner promised to get him a job. Wallace's nephew just graduated from Virginia Union and he didn't get drafted either. Look out, commish. | doug | 3/31/2004 |

Live from the Theater
Who needs press credentials? Schottsie brings you his report of Draft day happenings live from the general admissions section of the Theater at Madison Square Garden. | schottsie | 7/2/2003 |

Doug's Draft Day Notebook
Straight from Gotham, Doug gives his observations on the strangest Draft day in many, many years. Among the oddities: LeBron's blindingly white suit. I mean, really. Is he joining the Cleveland Cavaliers or Kirk Franklin's Nu Nation? | doug | 3/31/2004 |
|
Miscellaneous Foreigners
Who will join Nene Hilario and Wang Zhi-Zhi on the ever-growing list of non-European internationals in the NBA? Apparently, Leandrinho Barbosa, Carlos Delfino, and Malick Badiane. What do we know about these guys? Not much at all. | doug | 3/31/2004 |
|
Second Round Steals
Can't get a good basketball player in the second round of the NBA Draft? Bollocks, says Paul Roberts. He examines the history of the wrong half of the Draft and tells you who will follow in the footsteps of Nick Van Exel, Rashard Lewis, and Gilbert Arenas. | paul | 6/24/2003 |
|
A Four-Way Foray
The Kentucky Fried columnists collaborate on a mock NBA Draft. This is what we do for fun on Friday nights. | | 6/25/2003 |
|
A Minor Change
Desagana Diop doesn't belong in the NBA. At least not yet. What the Cavs should do is send the big man down to the minors for more seasoning... oh wait, there the NBA doesn't have a minor league. Why exactly is that? | doug | 3/21/2004 |
|
Nuggets Strike it Rich
Look out Spurs. Look out Kings. Look out Lakers. Kiki's got the third pick in the draft and scads of money to renovate his roster and turn the Nuggets into overnight contenders. Yee haw! Dere's gold in dem dare montuns! Or is there? | colonel | 5/30/2003 |
|
Brownout in Philly
Larry Brown's resignation from the 76ers might very well mean good news for the Houston Rockets or the Los Angeles Clippers, but it's not bad news for Philadelphia - at least not as bad as the team he has left behind. | doug | 3/31/2004 |
|
Dreaming of Dallas Dominance
Why doesn't Dallas get any respect? They score more points than anybody in the League and they've got a roster full of All-Stars, past and present. Do they have what it takes to reach the NBA Finals? The Colonel thinks so, at least when he's sleeping. | colonel | 5/21/2003 |
|
Stay or Play in the NBA
It's almost time for the NBA Draft, which means that a lot of college underclassmen are in the process of interviewing agents. Who are this year's Richard Jeffersons and who are this year's Marcus Taylors? Doug gives his opinion. | doug | 5/20/2003 |
|
Why Philly Loves AI
Perhaps no other NBA superstar better fits the personality of the city he plays in than Allen Iverson. The Colonel examines his popularity--and tries to impress you with his knowledge of Philadelphia sports trivia. | colonel | 5/21/2003 |
|
You've Gotta Be Kidding
Isn't there an old saying about actions speaking louder than words? Well, apparently the message has been wasted on Boston Globe editors and New Jersey Nets' coach, Byron Scott. | doug | 10/8/2003 |
|
The Kentucky Fried Point
Read about the history of the Kentucky Fried Point. Also see who the top five KF players were last year. | broham | 9/1/2003 |

A Kentucky Fried Basketball exclusive! Doug Roberts goes one-on-one with the legendary Michael Jordan in a candid, no holds barred telephone interview (that, uh, didn't actually happen). | doug | 5/15/2003 |
