George Karl Making Up Trade Rumours

George Karl Making Up Trade Rumours

Anything in the vicinity of funny comes as a surprise if it involves George Karl. Karl, he of little patience for rookies, is among the NBA’s most respected leaders. He’s been known to let his “passion” show both on the court and off. His approach, particularly his expression of disappointment, has been criticized by many. [...]

Van Gundy Clarifies Opinion On Wall

Van Gundy Clarifies Opinion On Wall

Former head coach Stan Van Gundy has gotten a little ribbing from folks about his recent opinion on John Wall. Van Gundy didn’t say all that much wrong.

Nonetheless, Howard’s most talented and dominating teammate has recently put the league’s premier big man to a challenge. In an away game against the Suns, LA [...]

LeBron James’ Daunting Performance

LeBron James’ Daunting Performance

In the first quarter of Miami’s win against Charlotte last night, LeBron James utilized a classic post move.

Knicks Saw Their Potential Playoff Solution Against Kings

Knicks Saw Their Potential Playoff Solution Against Kings

30-15. The Knicks may not be in the immediate conscience of the NBA media anymore (they were essentially getting Lakers coverage for all of two months), but they still stand at a record of 30-15. And they’re still doing it with some unorthodox basketball. If someone-hell, an alien-were to watch basketball for the very first [...]

Kevin Garnett Not Happy With Sullinger Snub

After learning that Celtic rookie Jared Sullinger wasn’t selected to participate in the NBA’s Rising Stars competition, Kevin Garnett was none to pleased. “Really? I’m actually shocked.”, Garnett responded upon first hearing the news. Frankly, he should be shocked. “Sully”, as 2012’s 21st overall pick is fondly called, is having a solid first year for [...]

The Jazz Are (Sort Of) Cleaning The Glass

The Jazz Are (Sort Of) Cleaning The Glass

That total puts them at 4th in the Northwest division. They score just under 99 points per contest. An impressive stat, were it not matched by [...]

Fan Who Hit Half-Court Shot To Pay $22k In Taxes

When Michael Drysch, a computer technician by trade, hit a half-court shot during the intermission of a Heat/Pistons game, there was elation.

Raptors’ Demar DeRozan Hits Game Winner At Orlando

Raptors’ Demar DeRozan Hits Game Winner At Orlando

The Toronto Raptors are having another awful season so far. Their record is abysmal, their star attraction, Kyle Lowry (acquired in the off season), has found it difficult to stay healthy this year, and Bargnani hasn’t been seen on the court for what feels like ages. Despite all of that, it’s hard to not be excited about this [...]
