A League Of Their Own - Steve Kerr

Steve Kerr kicks ass. Not only was he a sweet sharpshooter with the Bulls (and had that one crazy game with the Spurs where he was draining treys), he's a great commentator on TNT and does good work with Yahoo! Sports. He was one of the few sports journalists to pick the Pistons to win the championship, and for that he has attained the title of "best sportswriter on Yahoo! Sports". He recently wrote an article on the NBA Power Rankings, and take a look at what he says, it's fucking sweet:

A league of their own

The first rout – at the Palace on Christmas Day – was supposed to be a fluke. The Spurs didn't want to be in Michigan, they were tired, they were without Manu Ginobili, etc.

The second game was supposed to be a better indication of where San Antonio stood in comparison to the Pistons. The Spurs were healthy, ready and undoubtedly fired up for revenge.

That's what made Detroit's undressing of the Spurs in the Alamo City on Thursday even more enlightening than the first one. The Pistons proved with their blowout win that there isn't a single team in the NBA that is ready to challenge them. So for now, the league should be called the "DBA'" – Detroit's Basketball League.

Here's a look at this week's rankings (records and statistics are through Jan. 15):

1. Detroit Pistons (29-5, Last week: 1) – Utter domination of San Antonio – again. The Pistons own the NBA.
2. San Antonio Spurs (28-9, Last week: 2) – Free-throw woes for Tim Duncan are popping up again.

Yeah Steve Kerr. Fuck the Spurs. Go Stones.
