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 [...]

The NBA offseason is annoying. Others may use other words to describe it, such as grueling, prolonged and evil. But I just find it annoying. Really, really, ridiculously annoying. Before I delve too deep into my pet peeve, there is some good news for Los Angeles Lakers fans: Steve Blake told Lakers.com’s Mike Trudell that [...]

Fans of Chris Paul and the LA Clippers have to be ecstatic now that CP3 finally committed to playing long term in Los Angeles, as the Clippers are now primed to make a deep Playoff run, as one of the deepest and talented teams as any in the Association. Blake Griffin should be back at [...]

Bruce Bowen’s reputation precedes him. During his playing days, he was a great defender. He was also considered a dirty defender, loathed by his opponents and (likely) adored by his teammates. Think of him as a good samaritan who hated tourists. That’s how I’d put it. Better than his defensive sets was his honesty. At [...]

Where is the love? The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks do not like each other. More specifically, Paul Pierce does not like the Knicks, and J.R. Smith doesn’t like the Nets. Those two have been fueling this rivalry since the Boston Celtics helped make Brooklyn a legitimate title contender. Both parties have gone back [...]

Success never comes easy to the Minnesota Timberwolves. For what feels like forever, the Timberwolves bordered on laughable or just not good enough. Preseason expectations have often toed the line of nonexistent since Kevin Garnett left. They were rarely equipped to win 25 games, let alone contend for a playoff spot in a loaded Western [...]

General managers are rarely honest. Lying, deflecting and evading are (probably) in their job description. Nothing the NBA’s maneuvering minds say can be taken at face value—most of the time. On certain occasions, however, there are moments of clarity. Sometimes, they can be genuine and truthful. This is one of those times. Houston Rockets GM [...]
