Rumors

Allen Iverson has made no secret of the fact that he wants back in the NBA. He thinks he has a lot left to offer an NBA team, and as fans of the game, we tend to agree. With that said, there have been no takers whatsoever. He has showcased his remaining talents in exhibitions [...]

Several weeks ago Tennessee native, Justin Timberlake became part-owner of the Memphis Grizzlies. Not exactly Jay-Z and the Nets, but still. The Grizzlies now also have a few more minority owners: the great Penny Hardaway and…Peyton Manning? Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and his wife Ashley, a former Memphian, and Memphis basketball legend Penny Hardaway [...]

Broadening the NBA’s brand is important, but at what cost? The Knicks and Pistons will play a regular season game in London on January 17; similar to the Raptors and Nets last year. Great for the NBA, but too bad for the teams involved who will have their rhythm interrupted. Former NBA champions the Detroit [...]

TWolves nation is hanging on every word these days related to their star point guards rehab progress. Last we heard Rubio wasn’t supposed to be running yet. So it’s great news for the Wolves fanbase that Rubio was spotted doing some running exercises at practice this week. He’s either practicing for the NBA, or based [...]

The day has finally come. The NBA has officially announced pentalties for flopping. At first, you will be hit with fines, which could ultimately lead to suspensions.

In a weird self-deprecating fashion when a reporter asked World Peace ‘is Nash the smartest player on the Lakers?”, Metta responded by saying “He’s White so, probably yes”. By all accounts thus [...]

The media was in fine form this week, grilling players, discussing training camp, rosters, championship aspirations, etc. But there is always time to slip in the odd question to stir the pot.

The Sixers emerged as a much improved team during the Dwight Howard trade. They were able to pick up a legit big man to balance out their team. They will make some noise this season.
