On most nights, Carmelo Anthony doesn’t sound like a man who’s going to leave the New York Knicks. After watching the franchise nab Phil Jackson, it seems even less likely. He’s waxed nothing but support and optimism for the Zen Master. The Knicks’ season-long seven-game winning streak even has him smiling in spurts again. But [...]

Meet Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and resident broken record. While Cuban is prone to repeating himself, it’s not all his doing. He’s asked the same questions over and over and over and over again, Groundhog Day-style. It’s never, “How do you feel about bowl haircuts?” or “Are you supplied with unlimited cheese [...]

If Boston Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck has his way, Rajon Rondo won’t be going anywhere. Speculation has run rampant with regards to Boston’s future.

Enough Phil Jackson talk. Let’s discuss Andrea Bargnani. You know Bargs. The bouncy-haired Italian who hasn’t played since Jan. 22. The one the New York Knicks gave up three draft picks, Steve Novak, Marcus Camby and Quentin Richardson for. Yeah, that Bargs.
