All-Star Reserves Named

All-Star Reserves Named

Ah yes, now that the popularity contest that is the All-Star starters from each conference has come and gone (coaches and media have a say in that now as well) yesterday was the time for the remaining 14 All-Star players to be named, seven from each conference of course. These final selections are the most [...]

LeBron Reaches 30k Point Milestone

LeBron Reaches 30k Point Milestone

Add another line on to LeBron James career resume and application to be the best basketball player of all time. He became the youngest player in NBA history (33 years and 24 days) to reach 30,000 points. He reached the milestone late in the 1st quarter of the Cavaliers 114-102 loss to the Spurs in [...]

DeMarcus Cousins Has Historic Night

DeMarcus Cousins Has Historic Night

DeMarcus Cousins has been known to fill up a stat sheet and boy did he ever on Monday night. Cousins led the Pelicans to a 132-128 double overtime victory over the Bulls in New Orleans and in the process accomplished a stat line that hasn’t been seen in the NBA since the Big Mac was [...]

Tony Parker Replaced as Starter by Dejounte Murray

This feels pretty bizarre to type, but Tony Parker is no longer the starting point guard for the San Antonio Spurs. Parker, 35, is in his 17th season with the Spurs and has essentially been the starting point guard the entirety of his career, but due to his decline as a player and his drop [...]

LeBron: “We Could Easily be Bounced Early in the Playoffs”

LeBron: “We Could Easily be Bounced Early in the Playoffs”

It is no secret things aren’t going too well in Cleveland as of late, the Cavaliers are 3-9 in their last 12 games since losing to the Golden State Warriors on Christmas Day.

Kings Announce They Will Start Shutting Veterans, Giles Done For The Season

In spite of their somewhat bizarre decision to load up on veterans in the off-season, the Kings are still sitting at 13-31 and in last place of the western conference standings. Also, by the numbers, the Kings are technically the worst team in the NBA as they are currently last in the NBA in offense [...]
