A few weeks ago, he tweeted out that he thought Tracy McGrady was the “GOAT,” to which Kobe Bryant replied: Russell is certainly entitled to his opinion and shouldn’t be forced to think Kobe [...]

Brandon Jennings was supposed to be the Pistons’ franchise PG, but when they acquired Reggie Jackson after Jennings tore his Achilles, that put things in question. Especially when Detroit invested $80 million into Jackson. But surprisingly, Jennings is fine with Jackson being there and he’s even willing to come off the bench. You don’t see [...]

There are two sides to every story, but the allegations shouldn’t be taken lightly either. It’ll be interesting to see what Adam Silver does, if anything. Derrick Rose is being sued by [...]

Kobe Bryant tore his right rotator cuff on January 21. That’s more than 7 months ago, and he’s finally back in the gym putting shots up again. This is right on time, as camp isn’t that far off.

Adam Silver has done so much in his short time as NBA commissioner, that he’s making us quickly forget about David Stern. Out of sight, out of mind. The transition was smooth and seamless. But apparently, the former commish is bored out of his mind. Those in Stern’s inner circle are reportedly urging him to [...]

Fan is short for fanatic and we sometimes lose sight of that. The NBA boasts the league with the most recognizable individual players, and that’s not really arguable.
