Rumors

The NBA may not be the most popular of the four major North American sports, but they definitely have the biggest individual superstars. That’s part of the NBA’s marketing appeal. They market players, while the NFL markets teams. Everything about a player is unique and helps make them the stars that they are. Even things [...]

Typically, when athletes get in trouble it’s during the offseason. Not during training camp/preseason. The key word is typically. But then again, since Mbenga was waived by the Mavs a few weeks ago, he’s not technically in the NBA at the moment. As Mbenga was trying to leave the restaurant, two Dallas police officers were [...]

Andrew Bynum had an interesting season last year. He should a great deal of improvement, while also showing a great deal of immaturity. The latter probably played some role in the Lakers’ decision to move him (Dwight Howard helped, too). But is this what the Sixers can look forward too? Bynum’s already making headlines because [...]

There was  time when NBA arenas didn’t have a corporate sponsor and they were just named after the city or team for the most part. But of course, there’s too much money to be left on the table by not giving naming rights to a company willing to shell out millions. No matter what their [...]

Dallas Mavericks Coach Rick Carlisle this morning announced that the team has decided to suspend guard Delonte West for ‘conduct detrimental to the team’. Details are limited as to the incident, but apparently West had some sort of locker room incident after a Dallas win. Some are speculating the outburst was due to lack of [...]

There have many been many strange sports injuries over the year, but Kevin Love’s may be the best. Love is playing the best basketball of his life and is probably the best PF in the league, so good thing this didn’t happen during the regular season. Kevin Love’s going to need a bigger bed. The [...]

As he’s gotten older, Kobe has become less and less likely to hold his tongue on certain matters. Especially his feelings towards former teammates, as we’ve found out. Namely, Smush Parker. “I almost won an MVP with Smush Parker and Kwame Brown on my team,’ Bryant said before Wednesday’s 93-75 exhibition loss to Portland. ‘I [...]

After he lost to the Mavs in the Finals a few years ago, LeBron worked on his post-game that offseason. After beating OKC last season, LeBron decided to add another aspect to his offense: a hookshot? And no one in the gym is more ecstatic to see James continue to add to his low-post scoring [...]

Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett are not the types of guys to be too quick to heap praise on rookies. They are firm believers in earning your stripes and working your a$% off. They are also the types of leaders that ‘lead by example’ in the work ethic department. But Rondo in the first Celtics’ [...]

Part of what makes Kobe Bryant so great is that he truly doesn’t care about what you think of him. He’s interested in winning first, making friends a distant second. He’d like to see some of that same behavior out of Dwight Howard. Magic was like that. You saw Magic barking at guys. He was [...]
