Giving flopping another chance

Guest contribution by Dynasty Athlete Representation summer intern, Justin Herzig. When Googling the phrase “flopping in the NBA,” nearly every link that pops up leads to an article or blog criticizing flopping. Just about all the articles have one of two purposes: either to explain why flopping is happening or to complain about how flopping […]

New format for Dynasty Notes: bullets. It makes it much easier for me to write it, takes out the fluff, and will ensure that these babies get printed more often.

8th Grader Signs With Billy Gillispie

A 6’4 8th grader will not have to tour various college campuses, because at the moment, he is committed to playing basketball at Kentucky when he graduates high school.
