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 [...]

The Brooklyn Nets are riding high after Tuesday night’s victory over the Detroit Pistons and thinking big. Okay, truthfully, they were thinking big way before that win. They have a ton of cap space this summer, and as a team without draft picks and the need or ability to win now, they’re perfectly positioned to [...]

There have been very few general managers who had the level of success in professional sports (even less had Michael Jordan) as Jerry Krause. Krause was the general manager of the Chicago Bulls from 1985 through 2003, including winning six championships during the 1990s with Jordan and Pippen leading the Bulls teams. He passed away [...]

No wonder DeMarcus Cousins isn’t member of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Sacramento Kings were asking for too much. That’s not the vibe you get from the package they ultimately accepted from the New Orleans Pelicans—Buddy Hield, a top-three protected first-round in this year’s draft, the Philadelphia 76ers’ second-round pick, Langston Galloway and Tyreke Evans. [...]

Serge Ibaka and Robin Lopez got into it during the Toronto Raptors’ Tuesday night overtime victory against the Chicago Bulls. The scene was so contentious, suspensions have to be coming. And Robin Lopez knows it, per the Chicago Tribune‘s K.C. Johnson: [tweet https://twitter.com/KCJHoop/status/844375305892646913] Jimmy Butler, who charged into the initial scrum but then took a step back, [...]

Another night, another superhero performance from James Harden. And, apparently, Usain Bolt reference. On Monday night, Harden hit a layup with 2.5 seconds remaining to put the Houston Rockets up, for good, over the Denver Nuggets, 125-124. Afterward, it seems, he was feeling himself, per the Denver Post‘s Nick Kosmider: “I felt like Usain Bolt,” Harden [...]

This season, of all seasons, has to be enough for Carmelo Anthony to finally waive his no-trade clause and part ways with the New York Knicks over the summer, right? Right. Probably. Well, possibly. Maybe. As the Knicks’ future continues exist in perpetual ambiguity, Anthony’s fate with the team feels destined to end in a [...]

We are all aware of Russell Westbrook’s mind-numbing resume for MVP this season as he is averaging a triple-double (31-10-10) and has an incredible 35 triple-doubles thus far this season. While that more than speaks for itself, some of his teammates are still doing their part to campaign for their leader for the NBA’s top [...]
