This Friday the Naismith Hall of Fame once again will open their doors to induct another quality class featuring elite shot blocker Dikembe Mutombo, longtime NCAA and NBA coach John Calipari, 7 Time NBA All Star Jo Jo White and WNBA superstar Lisa Leslie. Undoubtedly the funniest moment of the night will probably come when [...]

New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis is in Carmelo Anthony’s good graces. That is, so long as being allowed to play five-on-five with Melo at Melo’s gym constitutes as being in Melo’s good graces. We’re going to assume it does. Anyway, here’s the brief low-down from the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Porzingis said he’s [...]

LeBron James doesn’t give two flying brown-colored bowel movements that NBA training camps aren’t quite ready to open. His Cleveland Cavaliers are getting work in now. Or soon. According to Northeast Ohio Media Group’s Chris Haynes, LeBron isn’t quite over Cleveland’s loss to the Golden State Warriors in last June’s NBA Finals and has “summoned” [...]

Kevin Garnett has rookie Karl-Anthony Towns’ back. The 19-year-old Towns, who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the first over pick in this year’s draft, was born a little bit after the 39-year-old Garnett made his NBA debut, and now they’re teammates, which is flipping cray and just out of this world. Towns himself [...]

Hey! Psst. Hey, you! Did you know Markieff Morris wants to be traded from the Phoenix Suns? Of course you did, because you’ve haven’t been living on Pluto these last few months, and even if you were, you’d probably still know.

So much for Carmelo Anthony not being committed, or particularly keen on, the New York Knicks’ future. Perhaps he’s still not feeling great and struggling to sustain an optimistic slant in the face of an extensive rebuild that became all too real as soon as the Knicks drafted long-term project Kristaps Porzingis. But, at the [...]

Ready for some good news? Yeah you are. I’ll be leaving for vacation soon, probably, I think. Oh, and there’s a growing sense on some level within the NBA that there won’t be another lockout in 2017, when both the owners and players have the opportunity to opt-out of the current deal that expires in [...]

The Miami Heat are an enigma. Most of the time, in the NBA, that’s considered a bad thing. The best teams offer hope in the form of certainty, not assurances and pipe dreams and potential flexibility and possible, though not guaranteed, returns. But the Heat are different. They’ve always been different. Sort of like how [...]

Kobe Bryant joined former teammate/rival Shaquille O’Neal on The Big Podcast with Shaq, and it was everything you could ever expect. So long as you were expecting a ton of cliches that only supported the notion that these two, once serial head-butters with the Los Angeles Lakers, are now cool. One of the anecdotes, however, [...]

DeAndre Jordan is changing his mind again. No, he’s not trying to renege on his deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. But he is leaving his agents at Relativity Sports following a controversial free-agency process in which he almost spurned the Clippers for the Dallas Mavericks. Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times first broke [...]
