As I am sure most basketball fans have heard by now, Allen Iverson and Ice Cube have partnered to create the “Big 3” League, which is a competitive 3-on-3 basketball league to be played around the country over the summer and feature a number of retired NBA players as players and coaches. Some names involved [...]

The triangle isn’t going anywhere. Prior to the New York Knicks’ Wednesday night loss to the Utah Jazz, head coach Jeff Hornacek said that the team will be all triangle everything next season, and they’ll look to ditch anyone and everyone who isn’t buying in. Per Newsday‘s Al Iannazzone: Jeff Hornacek made it clear that the [...]

LaVar Ball, father of top NBA prospect Lonzo Ball, and LeBron James, best player in the world, are basically feuding. Because, why not? Ball caused a stir when he said NBA stars typically don’t raise fellow NBA stars and then cited the future of James’ kids as a potential example. LeBron, of course, was none [...]

Stan Van Gundy was not happy following the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. The coach-president ripped into his team and even saved some of the blame for himself. From ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell: The message I gave them is, ‘Look, we got 10 games left,” he said. “And if we don’t change the [...]

Head coach Luke Walton has been impressed with the newbie’s consistently gritty efforts. Many of the numbers won’t support it, but Ingram is already good.

That’s why it’s somewhat strange to learn that Robin Lopez and Serge Ibaka were only suspended one game for their altercation Tuesday evening. Their dust [...]

For those of you (I’m included) who are nervous about Joel Embiid’s injury history and concerned about his ability to stay healthy enough to be able to develop into the generational force he showed he can be this season, this doesn’t provide any comfort. [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNSteinLine/status/844641349336875008] This will be Embiid’s 3rd surgery in 3 NBA [...]

Hornets forward and human Swiss Army Knife Nicolas Batum missed a few games this past week with what we now know were “excruciating” migraine headaches. [tweet https://twitter.com/bobcatspress/status/844252046190497792] Batum underwent a CT scan on his brain last week after reporting suffering multiple extreme migraine headaches. They apparently started the morning of March 12, after the Hornets [...]

Becky Hammon is already one of the best WNBA players ever. Now a San Antonio Spurs assistant coach, she’s also won an NBA Summer League championship, as head honcho for the Spurs’ offseason kiddies. What’s next? Coaching the women’s basketball team at Florida, perhaps. According to Mike Robinson over at Swish Appeal, Hammon is among the [...]

Kevin Durant is back on the court…in a manner of speaking. The Golden State Warriors superstar hasn’t played since Feb. 28, when he suffered a sprained MCL and bone bruise in his left knee less than two minutes into a game against the Washington Wizards. Though the exact date of his return remains unclear, he is [...]
