Last week, news broke that Karl Malone will return to the Utah Jazz in a quasi-assistant role, where he will be working with the Jazz big men. Now, it appears as if perhaps Jerry Sloan has interest in returning to the club too. Since leaving the Jazz a few years ago, Sloan has expressed interesting [...]

Uh oh. Is there dissension among the ranks in Miami? LeBron James has done everything for the Heat so far this series and hasn’t had the luxury of having the required help from the likes of Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. In fact, LeBron has statistically outperformed Wade and Bosh combined in this series, as [...]

The NBA’s salary cap is largely determined by how profitable the league is, or basketball related income; a term we heard constantly during the lockout. The league was anticipating a bump in cap space, but it won’t be as high as many would’ve like. While the league made money, it wasn’t as much as projected. [...]

In just about every game during the Miami – Indiana series, you’ll see guys on both teams trying to sell a flop to the ref. Sometimes they’re [...]

The Utah Jazz just barely missed the playoffs in the Western Conference, but they have a nice young core.  And frankly, if they were in the East, they would’ve made it. Their front court is especially young and talented. Between Al Jefferson, Enes Kanter, Derrick Favors and Paul Millsap they have a formidable presence around [...]

Last night, the officials stole the show in game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Questionable calls went both ways so you can throw the conspiracy theory notion out the window. However, it doesn’t excuse sloppy officiating. This should be a time to praise good play, rather than focus of referees and the NBA is [...]

Even though he’s arguably the most troublesome and volatile player in NBA history, Metta World Peace has somehow found a way to completely change his image. Over the years, he has become a likable, endearing figure. Only he could pull that off, I guess. For his latest trick, World Peace has released a children’s book [...]
