Three cheers for backtracking! Or rather, context! Yay, context! Carmelo Anthony created quite a stir at Knicks media day when he apparently said the following to ESPN.com’s Chris Broussard: [tweet https://twitter.com/Chris_Broussard/status/516643510192439296] For shame, Melo!

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Scott Brooks has been having a great run in the city, having been able to appear in the conference finals three times in four seasons. These achievements would not have been possible without his best players—and one of them is named Russell Westbrook. During the team’s media day, Brooks made [...]

While many of his teammates lamented the loss of Love and talked about how to move forward without him, K-Mart was still coming to terms with the fact this blockbuster trade existed at [...]

Throughout his entire career—Steve Nash is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to have ever played the game and will eventually end up in the Hall of Fame as he approaches his final season in the league. When the Los Angeles Lakers acquired the two-time MVP a couple of seasons ago, we all thought that [...]

Nothing like carrying the weight of the Los Angeles Lakers’ world on your shoulders at 36 years old, eh Kobe Bryant? Everyone is waiting for Bryant’s second return. Everyone. Even if you hate him, you want to see him; you want to know if he still has it or not. It’s human nature. And Bryant [...]
