Dwight Howard’s departure looks good on Mike D’Antoni and Pau Gasol. Following a 31-point beat down handed to them by the Golden State Warriors, the Los Angeles Lakers are 1-1 on the season. Which is fine. They were supposed to be 0-2, having opened the year against the Los Angeles Clippers. Emerging victorious from one [...]

This is starting to get weird. And quite frankly, a little embarrassing. The New York Knicks are title contenders. That’s what they’re selling us on, anyway. Carmelo Anthony, Tyson Chandler, J.R. Smith, Iman Shumpert, Andrea Bargnani—they’re supposed to be the core of a championship hopeful. Yet talk keeps shifting to the future, like the Knicks [...]

So no, the Chicago Bulls point guard doesn’t adore the Miami Heat superstar. But he is warming up to the idea of LeBron as the best player in the NBA. [...]

Back in May of last year, THD was one of the first to bring you the initial installation of Pepsi Max’s new basketball themed commercials, starring Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving. Irving dressed up in prosthetic make-up, stars as”Uncle Drew”, an aging hoop star who decides to school a number of today’s younger ballers on [...]

The 2013-2014 New York Knicks are expecting big things from reigning NBA 6th Man of the Year JR Smith next season if they are to contend for an NBA Title. Last season’s scoring champion Carmelo Anthony may be the team’s most valuable player, but Smith may be the most important, as he provides a valuable [...]
