Ankle and knee sprains are the most common injuries in basketball. Mainly because of the cutting, starting/stopping, and most of all jumping without certainty of your landing zone. There is much debate about what is considered a dirty play in the NBA. There has always been an understanding that if a defender sticks his foot [...]

Derrick Rose loves his city. When Chicago is mourning, as it turns out, Bulls star Derrick Rose is mourning right a long with them. Chicago has been publicly grieving the death of 6-month old Jonylah Watkins, who was shot five times in a drive-by shooting Tuesday night. Authorities believe her father was the target of [...]

Carmelo Anthony finally makes his return to Denver. Due to the shortened season last year, the Knicks did not travel to Denver. But despite the “homecoming”, Carmelo has bigger issues on his mind. His knee hasn’t gotten any better and he may have to get it drained. Definitely not a good sign. Carmelo Anthony said [...]

“Kyrie Irving” and “injury” are becoming far too commonplace. Irving is already a top 5 PG arguably, but he just can’t stay healthy. He’s now out 3-4 weeks with a bad shoulder. Cleveland may as well shut him down for the remainder of the year. Let’s just hope this doesn’t become a theme for his [...]
