The NBA’s MVP race has been a 2-man race for a few years now, with LeBron edging Durnt. But this year seems different. All the signs so far point towards Kevin Durant winning his first MVP award this year. LeBron James probably realizes that it’s Durant’s year for this award and has conceded a bit. [...]

As much as he’d like to think, Kobe Bryant doesn’t run the Lakers and they’re making that pretty obvious. Granted, he’s been the face of the franchise forever, but not everything should runs through him. Reports have been wishy-washy in terms of what the Lakers will do with D’Antoni. REgardless of what the decision is, [...]

We’re only a year or so removed from Jason Collins’ revelation and already doesn’t seem like a big deal. This morning, there was another such story, as UMass guard Derrick Gordon comes out as well. If not for Collins, Gordon may not have done this. You can expect such news to be happening more frequently [...]

Clearly, Larry Brown is still upset about how his tenure with the Knicks ended. There was plenty of blame to go around during his time there and he certainly deserves some of it. Maybe he was still filled with emotion when asked about the team because he let loose on SiriusXM radio. Much of what [...]

Yesterday in a loss to Phoenix, Kevin Durant scored 25 or more points for the 41st game in a row. In doing so, he surpassed Michael Jordan (40) for 3rd all-time in this not-that-important-but-cool-to-talk-about stat. In case you’re wondering, Wilt Chamberlain is first with 80. After the game, Durant was asked about the streak and [...]

It’s official: the Pacers have lost their way. Many complain that the regular season is too long, but I beg to differ. One of the benefits of having an 82-game campaign is to smoke out the players and teams that can’t hack the grind. Is this the case with the Pacers? Roy Hibbert has been [...]

One thing we’ve never really associated with Chris Paul was the notion that he’s a ball-hog. He’s a consistent double-digit assist/game guy and one of the few true PGs in the game. But if you ask Doc Rivers, Chris could stand to share the rock a bit more. Doc feels that the Clippers offense is [...]

To say that Stephon Marbury has found peace in China would be a huge understatement. After his NBA career ended abruptly (frankly, for no legit reason) at age 31, he has blossomed in to what appears to be a megastar in the Chinese Basketball Association. He just won his second CBA title last week and [...]
