All-Star Snubs
The All-Star game rosters were just announced and some of the best players in the league were added. However, there were lots of snubs this year and lots of fans are a little salty. So let's take a look at the talent that missed the cut this year.

The New York Knicks Won Their Trade with the Mavericks
Last week, the Knicks gave the NBA a shock as they traded away their forward Kristaps Porzingis to the Mavericks. Many Knick fans scratched their heads as to why they would make such a move, especially after the Knicks made a point to center their rebuild around Porzingis. But the Knicks made the move anyways, and now it seems like they are back to square one. Not so fast, as the Knicks actually are the big winners of this trade.

Fielding Drills for Baseball Pitchers
Three letters that strike dread among pitchers of all calibers and skill level—from the majors, to high school, to even little league: ‘PFP.’ The reviled Pitchers Fielding Practice has probably been maligned since its inception, but it has its benefits and purpose. Just ask the 2006 Detroit Tigers, who saw numerous chances bobbled away through errant fielding by their pitchers throughout that World Series loss.

Style or Success?
With style comes success. Great soccer players are remembered for their style and their performance in the game rather than the number of goals they scored. Ronaldinho, Zidane, and C. Ronaldo are all players who have achieved great success, yet they are known for their different playing styles. Zidane over the years has become the playmaker who opens up shots for others, does incredible moves, and when the time comes, scores a few goals.

The art of coaching is one of the more under-appreciated aspects of professional sports. The NBA, in particular, has seen plenty of coaches come and go, yet they don't seem to get the credit they truly deserve.

The NBA Has Taken Over the NFL's Biggest Week
What was supposed to be the NFL's biggest week has felt like it's been pushed to the B-block of many sports news, TV shows, and to the shorter column in the newspapers. In fact, it is probably accurate. The NBA has taken over this week in sports news, with many big moves and news sending ripples through the NBA. From LeBron's return to Kyrie's comments to feel-good All-Star stories, the NBA has had a flurry of news come out this past week. All of this being huge and imperative to the future of the NBA, it has made the NFL and the Super Bowl take a backseat when it was supposed to be their week in the limelight. Credit the NBA, but the NFL could be to blame as well for their lackluster lead-up to the Super Bowl.
