Pressure to Win in Houston May Have Guided Bosh Back to Miami

Metta World Peace Confronted J.R. Smith Last Season in Locker Room

Metta World Peace’s exit from the NBA was rather quiet and unceremonious. Without much fanfare, he’s no longer in the league, but is doing his think overseas. Just because he’s not visible on a daily basis doesn’t mean he still isn’t interesting. World Peace recently gave some accounts of his brief tenure with the Knicks. [...]

Russell Westbrook Doesn’t Want To Join Lakers

We all know the Los Angeles Lakers are in a grim situation right now—having only won 1 out of their first 10 games of the season. I guess the best thing for them to do now is to look towards the future already—specifically finding help for Kobe Bryant next season. But, it looks like Oklahoma [...]

Kevin Garnett Wants to Own Timberwolves

Over the next several years, we will probably begin to see former players become owners of NBA teams. It would be good for the game and better than no-name billionaires who have no sports acumen.

DeMarcus Cousins on Barkley: “I Have No Respect For You”

DeMarcus Cousins on Barkley: “I Have No Respect For You”

DeMarcus Cousins and Charles Barkley have a lot in common. More than either would like to agree to, perhaps. Both from Alabama, and both weren’t the easiest guys to coach or deal with. That’s probably why they don’t seem to get along. Doing his job as an analyst, Charles Barkley has been critical of Cousins [...]
