Several weeks ago, it seemed like a forgone conclusion that the Kings would be moving to Seattle. Then David Stern allowed mayor Kevin Johnson to make a counter-offer. Then the process stalled a bit. And now it has picked back up again. The Kings have new investors and are set to make an official offer [...]

When you score 50 points at Madison Square Garden, you’re in some pretty elite company. You will be talked about forever. Last night, Steph Curry of the Warriors became an MSG legend. He torched the Knicks for 54 points, while making 11 of 13 from 3-point range. He was unconscious. But, the Knicks did [...]

Back in the late 90s Spike Lee was enamored with Ray Allen’s game. So much so that he approached Allen during halftime of a Bucks at Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, and sold him on the role of ‘Jesus Shuttlesworth’ in He Got Game. Talk about going after what you want. Apparently, Ray still has [...]

When the Knicks signed Rasheed Wallace prior to the start of the season, they officially became the oldest team in NBA history by average age. Their frontline maintained that age when they signed Kenyon Martin a few days ago. But it looks like they will definitely need Martin now. Rasheed needs foot surgery and will [...]

During Monday’s loss to the Nuggets, Kobe Bryant picked up another technical foul. This happened right at the end of the second quarter. That was Kobe’s 14th tech and as you know, guys are suspended once they reach 16. Yesterday, the NBA rescinded that technical, so now he’s back to 13 and has some more breathing [...]

In only his second NBA season, we’ve learned a couple things about Kyrie Irving: he’s arguably one of the best PGs in the game, and he’s no stranger to injuries. Despite the latter, he has still managed to put together a very solid sophomore campaign. But hopefully, this hyper-extended knee is just a minor, isolated [...]

We continue to say this, but give the Bulls credit for how well they’ve played this year without Derrick Rose. As of right now, they would host a playoff series in the first round. One of the reason’s they’ve overachieved in the eyes of many is the play of Taj Gibson. He continues to produce [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is 34 years old and is coming off knee surgery. To make matters worse, it’s the first time he’s ever had to deal with knee issues in his career. Because of this, he may have lost a little bit of his edge. Enough to consider retirement? Not so fast, Dirk is only averaging [...]

Chemistry can sometimes be an underrated notion in sports. Especially when it’s going well for a team that doesn’t have a history of winning. The Clippers are relevant for the first time the franchise’s history and owner Donald Sterling doesn’t want to mess with that. Right before last week’s deadline, there was reportedly a deal [...]

The OKC Thunder are coasting through the regular season, business as usual. Obviously, they’re still one of the best teams in the league, but they are a young team. Perhaps their inexperience showed during the Finals last year. Veteran leadership is very valuable come playoff time. Maybe that’s why they are apparently bringing back Derek [...]
