Crazy Eights

By Dan Kay | May 25, 2001

This year has been a reasonably mediocre one in the world of sports. No one seems too excited about the NHL or NBA playoffs; and to be honest sometimes I even forgot that they were still going.

Nickerson, Luckenbill recognized for efforts

By Adam Small | May 23, 2001

With the year drawing near its close, Dartmouth presented its major athletic awards Monday. Taking home the Kenneth Archibald Prize, which is given to the senior who has been "the best all-around athlete with regard to moral worth and high standing in scholarship," was Brian Nickerson '00 the Big Green baseball co-captain. The award caps off an outstanding career that left Nickerson as Dartmouth's all-time leader in base hits and which propelled him to signing a contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers last week.

Young Blood

By Rob Kim | May 21, 2001

Much has been said about the decline of the NBA and of professional basketball in general. Steep prices, diminishing talent due to expansion and the "bad-boy" behavior of many professional basketball players have all contributed to this accepted view of pro b-ball as a wayward animal.

In your face failure

By Janos Marton | May 17, 2001

Vince McMahon and NBC will have a lot of thinking to do over the next few months. The controversial billionaire and the uncontroversial multi-billion dollar conglomerate will have to come to terms with the loss of 35 million dollars, but more importantly, the disappointment of the XFL's failure, the end of "the end of pansy football." I share in their shock and confusion; how could an 11th hour organized collection of bad football players in predominantly small markets that started playing the week after the Super Bowl be so unsuccessful? After all, the first set of games posted a 10.4 Nielsen rating, more than any NHL hockey game (I didn't know anyone watched hockey). I think the realization that most people came to a week after the Super Bowl was that if they weren't already tired of football after a full college and NFL season, they definitely grew tired watching the performance of the New York/ New Jersey Hitmen, who most Midwestern high school teams could take out on a bad day.

Iverson wins NBA MVP award

By Rob Kim | May 16, 2001

In a landslide vote that would have surprised many fans and writers back at the beginning of the season, Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers was elected the NBA MVP award yesterday with a total of 1,121 points in the voting. Iverson was honored by the league due to his monumental part in leading the 76ers to the best record in the Eastern Conference and to the playoffs, where they are currently battling Vince Carter's Toronto Raptors in a hotly contested series of young talent in the NBA. Iverson beat out San Antonio's Tim Duncan, who finished second with 706 points, and the Los Angeles Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal, who finished with 578 points (O'Neal won the MVP award last year). While Iverson almost single-handedly led the 76ers to where they are now in the playoffs, Duncan and O'Neal were both supported and helped by another huge star, David Robinson and Kobe Bryant, respectively. In particular Bryant has recently turned it up down the stretch, taking some pressure off of O'Neal's shoulders. Iverson is the smallest player ever to win the MVP award, at 6 feet and 165 pounds.

Fool, stay in school!

By Adam Small | May 15, 2001

"When June 27 rolls around, NBA commissioner David Stern will call the names of the first five selections in the draft, and four of those may belong to guys who haven't yet had time to put their diplomas into frames," says Frank Burlison, FOXSports.com's college basketball analyst. What is going on here?
