About this time every year, most of the nation’s elite high school ballers hope their name gets called to participate in the annual McDonald’s All American Game. This year’s contest, the 38th annual McDonald’s All American Game, will be played on April 1st, once again at the United Center in Chicago. The game has served [...]

Someone needs to explain the Denver Nuggets to me. We’ve already talked about their purported interest in the Brooklyn Nets’ Brook Lopez—an injury-prone big man who may help their offense, but not their defense, and one who is overkill considering JaVale McGee, J.J. Hickson and Jusuf Nurkic are on the roster.  Now, they’re at it again. [...]

The Bobcats are teetering on the edge of the top 8 in the East and now that Kemba Walker has been declared out for up to six weeks, the team has another crappy situation to deal with. They’re going to need somebody to pick up the slack if they are to remain relevant in the [...]

Potential blockbuster trade alert. Just kidding. What, you didn’t think I was serious, did you? From now on, assume everyone who says that is kidding. There has been so much action early on—significant, blockbuster action, mind you—it’s incredibly unlikely that any deals ahead of the February 19 trade deadline will fall into that category. More [...]

Bank on DeMarcus Cousins being named to the Western Conference’s 2015 NBA All-Star roster. It feels good to write those words in that particular order. Statistically speaking, Cousins should have been All-Star last season. He’s become a 20-point, 12-rebound, three-assist, one-steal, one-block guy. Those players make All-Star teams, even if they play center, which has [...]

New York basketball fans just cannot catch a break. The Knicks stink something awful, sort of on purpose, but kind of an accident. They have the league’s second-worst record, have stripped the roster of most impact players, remain thin on young talent, will probably shut Carmelo Anthony down after the All-Star break and are, frankly, [...]

Kobe Bryant is done for the season. Probably. Initial assumptions were confirmed Monday, when the Lakers announced that Kobe would undergo shoulder surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff: [tweet https://twitter.com/Lakers/status/559807630370025472] At 36, with only one-year left on his deal, having faced roadblock after roadblock after roadblock, it stands to reason that Kobe would consider [...]

6/9months. Thanks for all the hit ups. I appreciate it!!!! A photo posted by @thedealer7 on Jan 25, 2015 at 11:33am PST During the 3rd quarter of the Pistons/Bucks game on Saturday, January 24th, Brandon Jennings left the game in a wheelchair. Always entertaining on social media (and changing/deleting his accounts on the regular), Jennings [...]

Portland Trailblazers star LaMarcus Aldridge was initially expected to be sidelined for the next six to eight weeks due to an injured left thumb that requires him to undergo surgery. But to everyone’s surprise he made a bold decision to delay his surgery until the end of this season. This decision from Aldridge is certainly [...]

This is one of those “Welp” moments. After injuring his left thumb against the Sacramento Kings on Monday night, LaMarcus Aldridge is expected to miss the next six to eight weeks, per an announcement made by the Portland Trail Blazers: [tweet https://twitter.com/TrailBlazersPR/status/558445067447173121] Surgery hadn’t been scheduled as of this writing, but you have to imagine [...]
