Last week, Kentucky freshman James Young declared for the NBA draft and today he teammate Julius Randle has done the same. All season long, Randle has been rumored to be a lottery pick so this makes financial sense for him. During the season, he had flashes of brilliance and flashes on head-scratching moments.

Folks, you made it. Congratulations. The NBA regular season is over. It’s done. Finished. Finito. And good riddance. Don’t get me wrong, this season was crazy. Downright exciting. But it also sucked.

Kentucky, the preseason #1 tanked team in the country [...]

Aaron Harrison must have ice water running through his veins. In tonight’s final four game between Kentucky and Wisconsin, Harrison was only 1-13 on the game. He was definitely not at his finest. But with the game and his team’s season on the line, and only 5.7 seconds left, he was as good as they [...]

In 2014, not many fault a kid for leaving school early for guaranteed NBA millions. That wasnt the case 10-15 years ago, but we are in a different time now. Andrew Wiggins knows how it works, as he declared for the draft earlier this week, but does Jabari Parker. There is growing concern among NBA [...]

Things are getting tense in the NBA. Months of playing and winning and losing and tanking and contending and injuries and comebacks and other stuff have come down to this: two-plus weeks of season-defining basketball.
