It is official, the NBA All-Star Game is returning to the state of basketball for the first time since 1985. Indiana will be hosting the 2021 All-Star Game. Adam Silver will announce the decision in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. The No. 1 reason Indiana got the nod (at least I hope so) is [...]

It appears the New Orleans Pelicans have been hit with the injury bug once again. This time with the Grindfather and the gritty, tough defensive extraordinaire Tony Allen. Allen will miss the next three to four weeks with a fibula fracture. Allen joins Solomon Hill, Alexis Ajinca and Anthony Davis (for the moment) on the [...]

Marcus Morris has had a hard time being on the floor for the Boston Celtics this season. After serving a suspension to start the year and recovering from a knee injury Morris has appeared in 16 games, nine of which as a starter for the Celtics, Morris is back on the shelf. That leaves his [...]

Shaquille O’Neal is infamous for a lot of things, his once in a generation combination of size, power and athleticism, his larger than life personality and his status as more than likely one of the 10 to 15 greatest players to ever play the game of basketball.

The Los Angeles Clippers got a much needed home win over the Washington Wizards on Saturday night, 113-112. Not without some controversy though. The Wizards got the ball trailing by one with 1.2 seconds left and inbounded the ball to Bradley Beal, who made what appeared to be a game-winning shot, but after the buzzer [...]

Garnett has a rift with Taylor because when he was traded back to the T’Wolves in 2015 he was promised a role with Flip Saunders in the front office upon his retirement [...]

Michael Beasley doesn’t have a very large role for the Knicks and as such he doesn’t get many opportunities for minutes on most nights. He decided to make the very most (or least depending on how you view it) of his limited time on Sunday by fouling out as soon as possible. He picked up [...]
