Rumors

Each year, ESPN ranks NBA players, from worst to first. And naturally, it causes much debate. Basketball is the sport that lends itself best to the “who is better?” debate. Today, they announced on twitter that Kobe Bryant is #25.  Last year, he was ranked 6th, and he took offense to that. So what will his [...]

Dwight Howards’s departure from Orlando almost makes LeBron’s look innocent. But more than a year later, why is Dwight still talking about his days in Orlando? He needs to just let that go and get on with his career. The sooner he stops talking about the Magic, the better it will be. After he left [...]

Detroit made one of the moves of the summer by trading for Brandon Jennings, but will be without his services to start the season. Jennings is being sidelined for about 3 weeeks with a bad…tooth. The PG has bum wisdom tooth that is causing some other issues. The good news is that he won’t miss that [...]

Analyst have projected the Lakers finish towards the bottom half of the Western Conference, and out of the playoff picture. Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with fans and the players. But when you take a look at their roster, age and injuries, is it really far off? Aside from Kobe, another big question [...]

The Detroit Pistons will without a doubt be one of the more interesting teams this year. With the moves they made, they’ll be fun to watch and should return to the playoffs in the East. But they’ll have to get going without Rodney Stuckey. Stuckey is out indefinitely after breaking his thumb in a car [...]

Earlier today, it was announced that Doris Burke will be joining ESPN’s NBA Countdown studio team. Hours later, Magic Johnson announces he is leaving ESPN. I’m sure the two events are completely unrelated, but it’s interesting that they’d both be announced on the same day. Magic has his hands in just about everything, so it’s a [...]

Much was made of Marcus Camby joining the Houston Rockets. His veteran leadership and size was supposed to help make the Houston front line mean.
