Welcome to Under the Bleachers, where the best NBA writers from Bleacher Report give their unique take on the latest action.
Kevin Durant: Where's the Love?
Right here. Saying Durant is underrated is like saying Greg Oden will never live up to his potential. It's sad but true. Sure Durant is thinner than Buckwheat, but the man plays like a star even though he's on a team of black holes.
The All-Time Face of Every Franchise
For the Celtics the answer is clear -- Larry Bird. Then again, have you ever taken a good look at Larry Legend's face? Yeah. Let's make it Ray "Jesus Shuttlesworth" Allen instead. Too bad Rick Fox isn't there anymore. And wasn't good when he was.
Tyson Chandler Saves the Season
OK fine, so Chandler is no Joe Smith or Chris Wilcox. And thank God for that. With the lob-happy Chandler back on the team, the Hornets have a chance to finish the year up strong. As long as he doesn't go crazy and start passing any physicals.
The Lakers - as Good as Their Numbers?
Unlike A-Rod, numbers don't lie. That's why they're numbers. The numbers say the Lakers are better than everyone. The question is: how much better? The problem is: when will Bynum get better? The answer is: soon. And then he'll get injured again.
Top Ten Small Forwards of All Time
Bird takes No.1 and Dr. J No. 3? What? Does anyone remember Bird vs. Dr. J? Julius always kicked his butt, and he can shoot an ice cube in a Dr. Pepper from 50 feet. Bird can eat a McDonald's value meal, bounce a ball from a city away and hit nothing but net. It's a push.
