The new season hasn’t even started yet and the Los Angeles Lakers have already started to fill out the injury list as their leading scorer last season—Nick Young recently sprained his right thumb during practice, according to Mike Bresnahan of the LA Times. Young, 29, signed a four-year, $21.5 million contract in July to remain [...]

Mikhail Prokhorov purchased the Nets in 2010 for $200 million. Form the onset, he has always seemed to be about business more so than basketball. After seeing the Clippers sold for $2 billion recently, Prokhorov may be thinking it’s time to cash out. If he’s truly a business man through and through, then there’s probably [...]

Remember in 2008 and 2012 when participating in the Olympics was cool again? Well, it sometimes has that uncool 2004 feeling at times. While many guys, such as Kevin Durant, says he’s down for 2016, LeBron James is on the fence. No surprise here. LeBron realizes he’s no spring chicken anymore and he’d probably like [...]

As good of a player Al Jefferson is, his defense could be a bit stronger perhaps. He doesn’t have the quickest feet in the world which contributes to this. The good thing is that Al is aware of this and vows to get better. If so, the Hornets could be one of the better up-and-coming [...]

He’s expected to make a full recovery and as gruesome as this injury was, it was probably better than an ACL tear which sometimes [...]

After just playing 6 games last season due to another injury setback—Kobe Bryant is determined to make the most out of his time left in his NBA career as he plans to not just play for the entire regular season but also all of the 8 preseason games for the Los Angeles Lakers—which will begin [...]

After winning a couple of titles in a row, the Miami Heat made the tough and unpopular decision of waiving Mike Miller via the amnesty provision. It saved the team $17 million in luxury taxes, but may have contributed to pushing LeBron James out the door. Or at the very least, James wasn’t thrilled with [...]

If you’ve only watched James Harden play from a distance, everything seems normal. Skilled offensively, a first team all NBAer. But if you watch the defensive side of the ball, what has gained steam over the past year is that he’s an awful defender. One of the worst. At least he is aware of this. [...]

Everything about Markieff and Marcus Morris is the same. Except for the fact that one is legitimately an inch taller and Markieff is now a little richer. The Suns have signed the twins to 4-year extensions. Over the life of the respective contracts, Markieff stands to make about $12 million more than his brother. Either [...]
