Doug McDermott doesn’t think the San Antonio Spurs are boring. Across casual NBA circles, the Spurs aren’t always held in high esteem. The age, boring, humdrum, they-must-be-flawed-because-they-just-must-be narratives remain overplayed and, unfortunately, prevalent. Diehards know better. Media members know better. Smart people know better. McDermott, who is preparing to enter the NBA after four years [...]

Many teams that supposedly tanked all last season are hoping for a miracle in landing one of the top picks in the talent laden 2014 NBA Draft. A magical offseason filled with rebuilding awaits teams like Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Orlando, who have the most ping pong balls, and in turn the best shot at landing [...]

Everything about the New York Knicks’ coaching search has been weird. So, typical Knicks. But in a different way. Team president Phil Jackson whiffed on his first and only choice in Steve Kerr, who recognized that more money and a better roster beat out whatever potential shit show New York could play home to next [...]

On the heels of another delusional tirade by banned Clippers owner Donald Sterling, the Clippers lost 104-98 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. How? How does the team with the best floor leader (Chris Paul), the best coach (Doc Rivers), and best frontcourt (Griffin/Jordan) lose a playoff series? In the critical game 5, the Clippers blew [...]

Times are a changing. One day, you’re Kobe Bryant, ruler of the Los Angeles Lakers. Your will be done. Don’t like Shaquille O’Neal? He’s gone. Championships? Got ’em. Comparisons to Michael Jordan? Check. Then, quite suddenly, you’re old, going on 36 and fresh off a season that saw you appear in just six games. You [...]

If you’re a basketball fan, you can’t help but love what the Spurs have done over the past 17 years. In the Tim Duncan era they have never been in the lottery(Kawhi Leonard is the lowest draft pick they’ve made since 1997, and that pick was traded from Indiana), have always won 50+ games (or [...]

Phil Jackson called his shot. Then he swung. Then he missed. After a months-long courtship that began long before Mike Woodson was officially fired, the New York Knicks missed out on Steve Kerr, who agreed to a five-year, $25 million deal with the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night, according to NBA.com’s David Aldridge and Yahoo! [...]

If Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has his way, LeBron James won’t be playing in the NBA next season. No, seriously, this is not a drill. You are not reading The Onion. This is a real possibility…says Roger Mason Jr. Making an appearance on Jim Rome on Showtime, Mason, the vice president of the [...]

Greivis Vasquez wants Kevin Durant to join the Toronto Raptors via free agency in 2016. Excuse me for being so blunt and direct and not buttering you up with some clever catchphrase that’s almost lost in a brilliant metaphor. I’m so sorry. But this is just too weird. “Hopefully I get to play with him [...]

I didn’t know apologizing involves bashing other people? On Monday night, Los Angeles Clippers owner (for now) Mr. Donald Sterling sat down with Anderson Cooper of CNN to talk about the racially driven tape scandal that took the NBA and world by storm. It seemed like through the entire interview, NBA hall of famer Magic [...]
