Jordan Crawford is the Chicago Bulls’ newest trademark, slightly undersized, self-sufficient bargain-bin guard addition. For now. In 2012-13, it was Nate Robinson. In 2013-14, the Bulls, at different points in the season, tried their hand with Mike James and Jimmer Fredette. Last year, it was Aaron Brooks, who remains on the roster. Now it’s Crawford, [...]

Of the many, many, many, many things Carmelo Anthony is criticized for, his apparent shortfalls as a leader remain most unsettling. After being traded from the New York Knicks to the Cleveland Cavaliers, J.R. Smith, a known friend of Anthony’s, essentially came out and explained the differences between Melo’s and LeBron James’ leadership qualities. He [...]

The Celtics are rebuilding and Isaiah Thomas is a good piece to build around. The PG seems like he could be on the brink of stardom and he has the opportunity to run the show in Boston. He’s also pretty confident in his abilities too. While team goal’s are atop his list, he also would [...]

Metta World Peace is a confident man. Maybe too confident. Maybe delusional. The 35-year-old hasn’t played in the NBA since 2013-14, and though he’s interested in returning to the Association, potentially with the Los Angeles Lakers, the odds are against him making any sort of substantive impact for any kind of team—unless, of course, you [...]

Eric Gordon’s feelings about the New Orleans Pelicans have changed. It was the summer of 2012, and Gordon, after spending a year in New Orleans following the Chris Paul trade, signed a max offer sheet with the Phoenix Suns in restricted free agency. Knowing the Pelicans (then the Hornets), could match that contract, he publicly [...]

C.J. McCollum knows it’s go time. Entering his third NBA season, McCollum now needs to make the transition from developing complementary piece to key building block as the Portland Trail Blazers look to rebound and regroup after a franchise-altering offseason in which 80 percent of last year’s starting lineup journeyed elsewhere, by way of trade [...]

Carmelo Anthony doesn’t seem as if he’s in the good graces of Colin Cowherd. On Tuesday’s The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Fox Sports’ newest talking head had something unflattering to say about the New York Knicks superst—er, I mean, the New York Knicks forward, because Cowherd clearly isn’t OK with calling Melo a superstar: "He's [...]

NBA legend and trailblazer of the game, Moses Malone passed away early Sunday morning at the age of 60. It is truly a sad day for basketball fans and historians around the world as the basketball world lost one of the best players to ever grace the hardwood regardless of era. “The Chairman of the [...]

Ty Lawson, controversial Instagram commenter, is at it again. Lawson posted an Instagram photo of himself, as he is wont to do. Some, or at least one, commenters began taking totally unrelated shots at him, as Instagram commenters are wont to do. Lawson then responded to one comment, as he is semi-wont to do. And [...]

Kobe Bryant’s 20th NBA season will begin without delay. Most likely. Rotator cuff surgery in January ended up sidelining the Los Angeles Lakers great for the rest of 2014-15, limiting him to just 35 appearances overall. At the time of his surgery, January 28, the recovery process was supposed to take roughly nine months. If [...]
