It’s never too early to speculate on how NBA free agency will unfold. Apparently. Ahead of the Dallas Mavericks’ loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Thursday night, Dirk Nowitzki was asked about LaMarcus Aldridge’s free agency. The context of the conversation is unclear, though one must assume he was asked if Aldridge would be a [...]

LeBron James wants you to shut up. Basically. In the wake of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 1-3 start, critics are coming out of the woodwork. Reports are surfacing. Hot takes are getting hotter. Rumors of discord between the King and Kyrie Irving are afoot. The Cavs’ defense ranks 28th in efficiency. The offense looks disjointed at [...]

Playing for the Phoenix Suns must be nice. No, not because most of the players are making bank. Or because head coach Jeff Hornacek will babysit for free. Or because the arid climate compels you to go commando. Or because Goran and Zoran Dragic (probably) argue and celebrate and curse in Slovenian. The Suns just [...]

With the basketball world -and more specifically the City of Chicago- speculating about the health (or lack there of) of Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose, the 2008 number one overall draft pick stepped back onto the court on Wednesday evening after missing the last two games.

J.R. Smith’s reputation precedes him. During the fourth quarter of the New York Knicks’ 98-83 loss to the Washington Wizards on Tuesday, Smith appeared to hit Glen Rice Jr. in the groin as he was driving right.

The first week of the 2014-15 season was crazy. There were plenty of exciting games, and even more devastating injuries.  There were surprise wins, and [...]

Kevin Durant wants y’all to know he left Team USA this past summer for the reason y’all already think he left Team USA this past summer. Paul George’s injury spooked him. During an hour-long HBO Sports documentary entitled “The Offseason: Kevin Durant,” the now-injured Oklahoma City Thunder superstar basically admits that he left Team USA’s [...]

Thaddeus Young believes in the Minnesota Timberwolves. It’s been forever since the Timberwolves made the playoffs (i.e. 10 years). Not even Kevin Love was enough to slingshot them up the Western Conference standings and into the postseason. That’s one of the many reasons why dealing him was so painful: He’s a superstar, and superstars help [...]

In their match against the Charlotte Hornets last night, the New York Knicks superstar Carmelo Anthony nailed a three-pointer at exactly the 7:41 mark of the first quarter which made him the newest member to join the 20,000-point club. He’s also the 6th youngest player to ever reach the milestone in NBA history. The Knicks [...]

Kobe Bryant remains loyal to the Los Angeles Lakers. Many are waiting for all hell to break loose in Los Angeles, where the Lakers are 0-4 and continuing their downward spiral. Kobe doesn’t like losing. There will come a point when he explodes, making waves in all the wrong ways, feeding a rumor mill that [...]
