Talking with reporters ahead of Game 1 of the 2014 NBA Finals, which will take place Thursday night, LeBron concluded that the Spurs have no [...]

Mark Jackson and Stephen Curry definitely still text each other. The Golden State Warriors point guard was always Jackson’s biggest, most outspoken supporter. That hasn’t changed in the wake of M-Jax’s firing. Speaking with reporters on Jackson’s dismissal, Curry, according to the Associated Press (via ESPN) said that the “semi-quick hire” of Steve Kerr was [...]

Luol Deng, Cleveland barely knew ya. The Cleveland Cavaliers traded for the two-time All-Star midway through the regular season.
