Rumors

It sounds odd just even saying it out loud. The International Olympics Committee (IOC) is actually considering adding three players a side, half court basketball to the list of events for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. 3-on3 hoops is fun to play and fun to watch, but maybe I’m a bit old school. When it [...]

Typically, whenever a restricted free agent signs an offer sheet with another squad, he’s just posturing for more money from the incumbent team. But when he actually says that he’d rather play for the team in which he signed the offer sheet for, that’s an entirely different situation. Last summer, that was the exact situation [...]

With their loss to the Clippers yesterday, the Lakers have zero margin for error in order to make the playoffs. They trail Utah by a half-game for that 8th and final playoff spot and Utah owns the tie-breaker. Basically, the Lakers need to win their remaining games and hope everything else falls their way. All [...]

After breaking his leg last weekend, Louisville’s Kevin Ware has been medically cleared to travel with the team. He will be on the bench cheering his team on during the Final Four in Atlanta this weekend. Many feel that his sheer presence will give Louisville a boost. That remains to be seen. But there will [...]

Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs earlier this season were fined and then subsequently sued for sitting their starters against the Miami Heat. David Stern felt that it was a disservice to fans who had paid for tickets to see the Spurs ‘Big Three’. Yet, here we are, in early April and the Miami [...]

NBA.com and FoxSportsFlorida.com report that Payton, the anticipated headliner of the class of 2013, will have his selection officially announced on Monday and that John Stockton and [...]

This is a very strange story and I’m not sure we have all of the answers. Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat recently went out for a night on the town with his wife to celebrate his birthday. While they were out, his home was burglarized fir $340,000 worth of items. To make this more [...]

The Washington Wizards have been playing extremely well since John Wall returned from injury, and it’s almost a certainty that they would’ve been in the playoff picture. But it’s not all John Wall. Bradley Beal hit his stride towards the middle of the season as well, which sparked the turnaround. However, despite his good play [...]

A few nights ago, Brittney Griner’s collegiate basketball career ended prematurely when Louisville topped Baylor in the Sweet 16. Griner will now go on to a professional basketball career in the WNBA. But how about the NBA? Mark Cuban has recently stated that he would take a shot on Griner and actually draft her. Personally, [...]

When news broke yesterday that Miami would rest LeBron, Wade and Chalmers, I’m willing to bet the competitor in Carmelo Anthony said “oh yeah? I’ll make sure they never do that again.” Because you know he had to be a little disappointed, even thought it increased the Knicks chance of winning. Last night, Carmelo Anthony [...]
