Rumors

Every year General Mangers take part in a survey where they predict who they think will win certain awards such as the NBA Championship, MVP and Rookie of the Year. Overwhelmingly, the Spurs are favored to repeat, LeBron will win another MVP and Jabari Parker will run away with the ROY. Hard to argue with [...]

James Harden became the butt of social media jokes last season when a video surfaced which pointed out his lackluster defensive efforts. Harden has even since acknowledged that his defense could use some improvement. But Rockets GM Daryl Morey isn’t amused. He thinks that video and Harden’s criticism are unfair. “For whatever reason, it has [...]

When battling back from an injury, some players have a tendency to rush back while others take their sweet time. It all depends on the individual and their state of mind. Sounds like we can lump Kevin Durant in the category of a guy that will take his time. KD is in no rush to [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire up until his first year in New York was a joy to watch. High-flying and explosive. But since that first year with the Knicks, a series of back and knee issues have relegated him to a shell of his former self. But don’t tell that to him. According to Amar’e he feels like [...]

Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili, Tiago Splitter, Patty Mills (injured) and even Popovich did not make the trip. Granted, it’s preseason and it’s normal for guys not to participate, but Suns owner Robert Sarver wasn’t [...]
