Amar’e Stoudemire’s first year in New York proved that he was worth that $100M the team gave him. But from his second year one, he hasn’t come near living up to expectations thanks to injuries. But after his first season in NY, the team traded for Carmelo Anthony and that was supposed to be a [...]

LeBron James has been accused of flopping since joining the Miami Heat, but he steadfastly denies that he’s a flopper. However, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t see the value in it.

If you thought the Derrick Rose saga would go away now that the Bulls’ season is over, guess again. Since Chicago’s season ended, people are still voicing their opinion as to whether or not Rose should have returned. The latest to voice their opinion is Bulls VP, John Paxson.

This can be viewed as sour grapes, or it can be viewed as a true assessment. P.J. Carlesimo was not retained by the Brooklyn Nets after they were eliminated by the Chicago Bulls in the first round. In fact, they got rid of him the next day. Brooklyn’s billionaire owner has spent a lot of [...]

Typically, the saying goes “father time is undefeated”, or some variation of that. But we may be forced to change that thanks to Tim Duncan. At the age of 37, Tim Duncan was named to the all-NBA first team. Tim had a solid year for the Spurs and that is continuing for him in the [...]

For the first time in a very long time, the Dallas Mavericks missed the playoffs. We’re only two years removed from their championship, and they have already fallen this far.
