With Earvin “Magic” Johnson making more headlines in his post-basketball career, this time for combating the dropout rate among high school students, it is a testament to his successes as a philanthropist, activist, and businessman he’s become. Starting his professional career as a bright-eyed, big-smile kid from Lansing, Michigan, few could have pictured the impact [...]

Around this time last year, we were one of the first sites to clue you in on arguably Los Angeles’ most famous white dunker, and no, I’m not talking about former NBA Slam Dunk Champion, Brent “Bones” Barry. I’m referring to former Cal State Fullerton standout Tim Trew McGrath, who has been a regular at [...]

Carmelo Anthony is, well, confusing. The New York Knicks forward has long been criticized for just about everything he does—shooting, defending, shooting, a lack of passing, shooting, his capacity to lead, shooting, his playoff record and shooting. I’ve personally never had a problem with his style of play. Should he pass out of double teams [...]

Ummmmmmmm, ok then. Lots of things don’t make sense to me. Like how they get the little “m” on M&M’s. Or Dwyane Wade’s fashion choices. Or anything Metta World Peace has ever said. Then there’s the things that both make no sense and seem equally stupid. Like One Direction concerts. Or any decision the Charlotte [...]

Kobe Bryant must never change. Seriously, he can’t. Chills, the bad kind, are sent down my spine when I think of how much more mundane topics of conversation would be if he changed. Or stopped talking altogether. Case in point: Los Angeles Lakers media day. It was a glorious occasion, one that wasn’t as filled [...]

New Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets Jason Kidd recently joked with Carmelo Anthony during a 9-11 dedication about changing uniforms. All Kidd-ing aside, Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant lead the list of the NBA’s free agents in the summer of 2014. Anthony’s name has been mentioned in connection with the Los Angeles [...]

After last year’s breakout season, Houston Rockets’ guard James Harden has become one of the most trending players to search for on the web. Perhaps it’s the signature full length beard he regularly sports or quite simply, his stature as one of the 3 most potent shooting guards in the league right now, rivaling Kobe [...]

The New York Knicks were old last season. Really old. Historically old. And Raymond Felton knows it. While at Macy’s in Herald Square making an appearance on behalf of Under Armour, Felton pointed out that New York’s roster was too old season and ultimately cost the team a shot at the title: We’re a younger [...]

Oh, Kemba. I’ve never considered Kemba Walker to be amongst the most emotional of NBA players. Sure, I’ve seen him cheer after a big shot or ankle-breaking crossover, but nothing that led me to believe he was the down-on-his-knees, sing-to-the-heavens, shed-a-tear-over-an-offseason-signing type player. Alas, I was wrong. According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer, [...]

Well that’s that. Kobe Bryant wants to retire as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and according to Mitch Kupchak, the feeling is mutual. Talking with members of the media in anticipation of training camp, Kupchak conceded that Kobe made it clear he doesn’t want to play anywhere else. He also confirmed that the [...]
