Craig Sager returned to his rightful place courtside in the NBA tonight for the Bulls hosting the Thunder in Chicago. Sager has been sorely missed by NBA players, coaches, and fans alike over the past year as he has been battling cancer. Craig announced over the all-star break that he felt he was getting close [...]

JaVale McGee to the Boston Celtics? He wouldn’t. Not with him ostensibly negotiating a buyout with the Philadelphia 76ers just so he could play on a postseason-bound team. And they wouldn’t. Not with McGee’s track record, a resume rife with injuries, conditioning issues, inconsistent play and, at times, apparent mental lapses. Well, McGee would. And [...]

March 4, 2015, isn’t a day that will live in infamy, but it certainly was an eventful night around the association. From Anthony Davis etching his name into franchise lore to Russell Westbrook continuing his full-on domination of everyone and everything that steps in the way, some illustrious memories emerged from four NBA superstars. To [...]

The Denver Nuggets fired Brian Shaw, and neither Kevin Garnett nor David West is okay with it. West played under Shaw while he was an assistant with the Indiana Pacers. Shortly after the news broke on Tuesday, he was asked to respond. And so he did. Per Vigilant Sports’ Scott Agness: [tweet https://twitter.com/ScottAgness/status/572822756879945728] But David, [...]

The way Russell Westbrook has been playing over the last few weeks is not human, not from this world. He’s a man on a mission to single-handedly propel the OKC Thunder up the standings in the Western Conference. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if the Thunder finish anything better than 8th [...]

Thou shall fear no evil, because the NBA power rankings are here to save the day. It’s been forever since we last saw each other. Like, a whole week or something. A lot has happened since then. The Warriors are clearly tanking, trying to avoid a first-round dance with the Thunder; the Nuggets fired Brian [...]

Someone in the capital of the United States needs to pick up the red phone and call for an emergency response unit, but it’s not President Barack Obama. The Washington Wizards are a mess. And it’s time to panic. Tuesday night, Washington managed to fall short of the Chicago Bulls—who were playing without Derrick Rose, [...]

Pat Riley has already collected enough accolades to last a lifetime. At the University of Kentucky—where his jersey is retired—Riley was a first-team All-American and SEC Player of the Year. He was a first-round draft pick of the San Diego Rockets in 1967 and won an NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1972. [...]

The Sixers are record-wise still terrible this season, but arguably more fun to watch—thanks to their promising young guns and a little bit of credit to newly-acquired center Javale McGee. However, it looks like Mcgee’s days as a member of the Sixers will be cut short as both parties have come to an agreement for [...]

Kevin Garnett is the man. That is, now that he’s back on the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was easy for him to get under your skin after he left Minnesota the first time, whether he was with the Boston Celtics or Brooklyn Nets. It didn’t matter if you were rooting for another team that night or [...]
