Ath-Lists for Athletes
Here they are! With the NBA Playoffs upon us, the Ath-Lists staff got all jazzed up and threw together their predictions for how the bracket will run out. Enjoy! Kyle DeManincor Eastern Conference First Round 1 Miami Heat vs 8 Milwaukee Bucks Winner: Miami in 4 Too good. Easiest series in the playoffs. 2 […]
The 2012-2013 season has seen most of the teams presumed to dominate do so, but there have also been a number of teams that fell short of expectations (for various reasons). As we draw nearer to the playoffs, the 1-8 seeds are all but locked in one conference, yet in the other, much drama remains […]
As we draw nearer to the playoffs, there has been a group of players coming off the bench for their respective teams that have been making noteworthy contributions on a nightly basis. Honestly, my inspiration for this list came from thinking about how bad the Charlotte Bobcats actually are. I thought it would be fun […]

That guy over there on the AL side had it easy. There, I said it. The talent up for the Final Vote for this year’s NL All Star squad features four very solid position players at different points in their careers, all of whom are putting up similar numbers. For the purposes of this list, […]
With the LA Kings up 3-1 (in dominating fashion) in their series with the Coyotes, we will presume they will represent the West in the Stanley Cup Finals. With the West set, we turn to the East, a conference that has seen favorites fall and no team have an easy run to this point. Left […]
The first round of the NHL playoffs produced some intense drama, with the Presidents’ Trophy winning Vancouver Canucks being knocked off and the #1 seeded Rangers were taken to the brink of elimination.
