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 [...]

Fascinating. The Detroit Pistons have been fascinating since the end of last season. From hiring Stan Van Gundy as president and coach to the personnel they paid and overpaid to their inability to lock up Greg Monroe long term, everything about their summer has been, for better and worse, fascinating. Monroe’s situation is especially interesting. [...]

Kobe Bryant doesn’t handle rejection well. That, or he handles it really well. It depends how you look at it. Someone asked Kobe about Kevin Love being traded to Cleveland Cavaliers, presumably mentioning the many ties to the Los Angeles Lakers he had via the ever-churning rumor mill last season. Kobe responded in kind. Per [...]

Did you know Derrick Rose has a crystal ball? Me either. Confidence isn’t something the Chicago Bulls point guard lacks. Not out in the open at least. Through two major, ceiling-crippling, season-sacking injuries, he’s always spoke of returning to dominance. To call him upbeat would be a stretch, since he’s extremely stoic and often stone-faced.

Achoo! Sorry, I’m allergic to complete and utter bullshit. Which is just what the Timberwolves’ Kevin Martin is slinging these days apparently. 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 [...]

Well, now. Carmelo Anthony had a busy offseason. He went free-agency hunting, eventually re-signed with the Knicks and even lost some weight. Things aren’t going to settle down now with training camp underway, either. He has a team to lead and a new system to learn. And a bunch of righteous, hard-nosed, reputation-defaming bastards to [...]

The Boston Celtics have announced today the signing of free agent swing man Evan Turner to a two-year 6.7 million dollar contract, according to ESPN.com’s Marc Stein. Turner, the former second overall pick in 2010 initially agreed to terms with the Celtics back in July. However, the signing was delayed to allow the team to [...]

Kevin Durant cannot kick the free-agency bug. The Oklahoma City Thunder superstar is fiercely loyal and, even now, incredibly happy where he is. But 2016 free agency looms large for him, and he has given it some thought. Even though he tries not to think about the future. During a wide-ranging interview with USA Today‘s [...]
