I’m not sure a stranger story could’ve possibly surfaced. Bill Russell, the man for whom the NBA Finals MVP trophy is named after, was arrested earlier in the week for having a loaded gun on him in a Seattle airport. The gun is legal, but why was Russell walking around with this in the first [...]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Not to make light of the situation, because it’s very unfortunate. Greg Oden had to skip Miami’s most recent practice because he was experiencing swelling in his knee. Maybe this is nothing, or maybe this is something. Who knows at this point.

We’re just a mere weeks away from the start of the season, and everybody is still waiting to see what will happen with Kobe Bryant. Will he play? Will he not? It was just eight months ago when he tore his Achilles. According to Mike D’Antoni, Kobe will miss the opener. I think that makes [...]
