This may come as news to you, but LeBron James can score. Oh you knew that? And you hate people who state the obvious? Sorry, my bad. For his career, LeBron is averaging 27.6 points per game. Even with the Miami Heat, who have two other top-tier scorers in Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, The [...]

Halfway thru the 2013 NBA preseason, the Los Angeles Lakers look better than many expected even playing without 5-time NBA champion and 15-time All-Star Kobe Bryant. Thru four games, the Lakers are 2-2 against Golden State, Denver (twice), and Sacramento. Playing without 17-year Lakers guard Bryant, the Lakers clearly lack an identity. But, credit Coach [...]

Derrick Rose sat out of the Chicago Bulls’ preseason bout against the Washington Wizards on Saturday night due to soreness in his left knee. Crap. Don’t panic, though. The Bulls and Rose don’t want you to panic. But you may be panicking, waging a war between yourself, the optimist, and yourself, the Rose realist. Personally, [...]

So, yeah. This happened. The Los Angeles Lakers are in China as part of the NBA’s Global games schedule, a trip that’s proved dangerous to their roster’s well-being.

And I’m not putting AK in [LeBron’s class in terms of talent], but when you talk about guys who [...]

Kids say the darndest things. And they ask the most damning questions, too. While at a community event, Kyrie Irving was asked by one young Cleveland Cavaliers fan if he intended to abandon the team like LeBron James did in 2010 (h/t ProBasketballTalk). “Are you going to leave us like LeBron left us?” the kid [...]

I know it’s only the preseason, but the rest of the NBA should take notice that the new look New York Knicks may be even better than we originally thought. Last night during a preseason tilt against the rebuilding Boston Celtics, we saw a number of new additions and younger players other than Carmelo Anthony [...]

Rajon Rondo doesn’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Following the Boston Celtics’ trade of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets, and Doc Rivers’ departure to the Los Angeles Clippers, there were a lot of questions surrounding the point guard’s future in Beantown. Was the team tanking and therefore, he on the [...]
