Over the last few years, Derrick Rose’s relationship with the Chicago Bulls organization hasn’t been what you would call strong. Or even remotely good. Things seemed to take a wrong turn back in 2012-13, when Rose was actually medically cleared to play but ended up sitting out the entire season anyway. Rumors of mutual frustration [...]

Kevin Durant is so sweet. Following the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 103-98 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night, a game in which Durant and crew led by as many as 12 points, the 2013-14 MVP threw a hefty compliment Russell Westbrook’s way, per NewsOK.com’s Anthony Slater: Interesting comment in postgame. Durant, while talking about [...]

Byron Scott is the head coach of a rebuilding Los Angeles Lakers team that desperately needs its young guns to develop and learn and thrive and form something resembling a foundation for the future. And yet, Scott doesn’t seem to acknowledge that’s the team he’s coaching. A lot of criticism has been thrown Los Angeles’ [...]

“Back to back like I’m Jordan, 96-97” – Drake’s lyrics embody the positive vibe around the Warriors camp at the moment. It goes without saying that these Warriors are good. They’re damn good.

Through the first four games of his MVP defense campaign Steph Curry is averaging 37 points, 6.3 assists, 5 rebounds and 2.5 steals. That is in only 31.8 minutes per game, his numbers per 36 minutes are almost 42-7-6-3. Those are video game numbers. He is also shooting 96% from the free throw line, 60% [...]

Dion Waiters isn’t about to do the Oklahoma City Thunder any favors. Financial favors, that is. The deadline for NBA teams to sign first-round picks from 2012 to contract extensions has come to pass, and Dion Waiters, like many others, did not reach an agreement with his incumbent team. That doesn’t mean he’ll leave Oklahoma [...]

Meyers Leonard opted not to sign an extension with the Portland Trail Blazers. And that makes up to 29 other teams really happy. The sweet-shooting 7-footer, who is also a pretty damn good rim protector, has elected to pass on whatever the Blazers were offering and become a restricted free agent next summer. His reasoning, [...]

The world knew this was eventually bound to happen. Last night, LeBron James added yet another accolade into his much-decorated career during their come-from-behind win against the Sixers. He reached the 25,000-point mark and became the youngest to do so at 30 years and 307 days. Let me repeat, Lebron James Scores 25,000 points! But [...]

Manu Ginboili has veto power over San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. Well, not really. But he has the ability to change Coach Pop’s mind. Popovich apparently had plans to sit Manu Ginobili against the New York Knicks on Monday night, a move he thought that Ginobili agreed to. As it turns out, Coach [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is hurt. Again. But his injury isn’t believed to be serious. Again. Late in the fourth quarter of the New York Knicks’ 94-84 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony were involved in a chaotic scrum for an offensive rebound; Anthony came up with it and either fell or stepped [...]
