Rumors

Amar’e Stoudemire’s decline in production has been well documented. While his first year in NY was productive, that hasn’t been the case since. In fact, the Knicks tried trading him this offseason to just about every team and there were no takers. This past summer, the Knicks offered Stoudemire to nearly every team in the [...]

Over the past decade or so, the NBA’s dunk contest became uncool to NBA players. The top-tier high-risers haven’t gotten anywhere near the contest lately because they feel as if it lessens them somehow. Almost as if it’s beneath them. In fact, that last one to boast big names was 2000, during Vince Carter’s magical [...]

Just when you thought the Celtics were done reacting to Ray Allen’s decision to join the Heat, Jason Terry jumps in. Is Terry qualified to speak on this matter? And should Ray Allen even care?

Mavericks star forward Dirk Nowitzki participated in a full practice Wednesday for the first time since undergoing preseason arthroscopic knee surgery. The Mavs have not set a timetable for Nowitzki to [...]

Pau Gasol made his not-so-triumphant return to the court last night. Pau has been out for a while nursing an injury, and he expected to play big minutes. The Lakers barely got by the Bobcats (101 – 100 victory) and down the stretch, Mike D’Antoni decided to put Gasol somewhere he isn’t used to being: [...]

Although he’s the furthest thing from a jump shooter, after most of his made jump shots, Joakim Noah acts as if his fingers are guns, blows them, then puts them in his imaginary holster. That’s part of the reason people don’t care for him. But in the wake of the tragedy of Newtown, Connecticut, Noah [...]

The Celtics are old. This we know. But old doesn’t necessarily mean veteran according to Doc Rivers. There are some new faces in Boston, but they will gel eventually. “Where I think people get mixed up, there’s a difference between a veteran team and a lot of veterans on a team,” Rivers said. “This is [...]
