The Phoenix Suns’ rookie sensation, all of 19 years old, spoke about being the youngest player in the NBA, per Paul Coro of AZ Central Sports. [...]

That didn’t last long. The internet had some fun with what Kendrick Perkins said about Kevin Durant’s impending free agency. Now a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Perkins spent parts of five seasons playing beside Durant with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Recently, he was asked about the 2013-14 MVP’s free-agency thought process, and his answer [...]

Sam Hinkie’s departure from the Philadelphia 76ers was…unconventional. It was a slow, painful, gradual grind to the end, with the Sixers ostensibly stripping Sam Hinkie of his absolute power by installing Jerry Colangelo in the front office to help oversee the rebuild.

Dwight Howard? Chandler Parsons? Reunited in, presumably, Dallas? Don’t rule it out. Shoot, knowing what happened last time Parsons recruited Howard, as a member of the Houston Rockets, perhaps we should expect it. During a sit-down with ESPN.com’s Tim MacMahon, Parsons made it clear he still values Howard as a player and friend: Yeah. We [...]

Lost in the smiles and handshakes and bro hugs, buried deep beneath a jovial demeanor of a man basking in the final moments of his NBA dream, is the reality of Kobe Bryant’s farewell: The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t good, and that still doesn’t sit well with him. As he said of the imminent end, [...]

If the Golden State Warriors are going to reach an NBA-record 73 regular-season wins, they’ll need to go through all of the San Antonio Spurs. Twice. Well, almost all of the Spurs. Gregg Popovich’s rest-and-relaxation program has been a source of spirited debate ever since the Warriors dropped two of three games at Oracle Arena, [...]

As the New York Knicks’ franchise cornerstone, Carmelo Anthony has an ostensibly simple and innocent request: please run the next coaching hire by him. That means you, Phil.
