Andrew Wiggins is going to be a superstar. No, he’s probably not the second coming of LeBron James, as he was made out to be just before playing his college ball at Kansas. Then again, that same notion seems a lot less ridiculous now than it did leading into the NBA draft. Or just a [...]

Get your daily dose of weird, here. The Chicago Bulls’ 2014-15 season hasn’t gone as planned. They’re hovering around the top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, per NBA.com, but the latter standing isn’t what it used to be. Not by a long shot. The Bulls ranked second last year and employ a slew [...]

Carmelo Anthony is just saying what we’re all thinking. Most know that as bad as the New York Knicks are, they won’t be rebuilding through conventional methods. Sure, they’ll welcome in Jahlil Okafor with open arms should they land the No. 1 overall pick. But this team is not about to wait around and let [...]

Here we go again. !#$%^&*&^%$#@! Not two weeks ago, we talked about the Denver Nuggets being interested in Brook Lopez. It was weird on the Nuggets’ part. Yours truly was incensed to an extent, wondering what the hell Denver was doing. Without context, it made little sense for the Nets, too. Who would the Nuggets [...]

It has been a rough go of things early for former NBA Lottery pick CJ McCollum of the Portland Trailblazers, suffering through injuries and a lack of playing time, but things couldn’t be better for his older brother Errick, who just set the CBA individual scoring mark, tallying an amazing 82 points in a game [...]

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.

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 [...]
