Heckling has long been a part of the professional (and collegiate) sports experience. Some fans (crappy ones) get joy out of ridiculing and spewing hate or insults at players of opposing teams in order to get them off of their game or satisfy their own insecurities, I am not 100% sure, that has never been [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without their starting center for at least three weeks. Brook Lopez injured his ankle in the 2nd quarter of the Lakers 116-114 overtime loss to the Warriors on Kobe double jersey retirement night and X-rays showed that he has a moderate sprain in his right ankle. Here is a [...]

Bah humbug! Stephen Curry hasn’t played for the Golden State Warriors since Dec. 4 while dealing with a sprained ankle, and though his recovery is moving along as expected, he has officially been ruled out of the team’s Christmas Day date with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Golden State announced the news on Monday night, and ESPN.com [...]

If Devin Booker had his way, the Phoenix Suns would keep interim head coach Jay Triano as Earl Watson’s permanent replacement. Unfortunately, though, he doesn’t have a say in these matters. Not yet.

Could you imagine a prime Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and Tracy McGrady playing together on the same team? Of course you can’t. The notion is ludicrous. The world would have exploded with all of those egos in one place. And yet, before Kobe was Kobe, or T-Mac was T-Mac, the Los Angeles Lakers apparently tried [...]

Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson is selling the franchise amid alleged misconduct, and, well, two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry wants in on the purchase. So long as P. Diddy’s the one leading the charge. Diddy tweeted the following on Sunday night: He spent the rest of the evening campaigning for this to happen and rapidly [...]

Vince Carter will not retire from the NBA without signing one more contract with the Toronto Raptors. It may not be a real contract. It may be one of those one-day deals that Paul Pierce and other stars have inked with teams just before walking away. Whatever the contract is, though, he’s sure it’s coming. [...]
