This is the moment Chicago Bulls fans have been waiting for. No, you’re local pizzeria won’t start allowing upgrades to deep-dish crust free of charge. Nor will people fail to realize your city isn’t as windy as depicted. But the next best thing has happened—Derrick Rose finally admitted he’s 100 percent healthy. I think. Or [...]

The war of words between the Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks just took a turn for the, well, logical. Throughout the offseason, both teams have taken shots at each other as they prematurely begin the battle for New York. Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry’s arrival basically equated to throwing three expensive bottles [...]

Things aren’t always what they seem. Jim Buss is criticized to no end for the job he’s done with the Los Angeles Lakers, his greatest flaw seemingly being that he’s not his father, Dr. Jerry Buss. Compounded by his father’s death, Los Angeles’ sub-par season and a failure to retain Dwight Howard, Jim’s reputation is [...]

Well this is encouraging. Most of the NBA’s regular season is dedicated to the games being played, to the teams that are winning, the teams that are losing and the championship stakes at hand. Another part of it, however, is spent dancing around free agency. Where will the biggest names land? Who will and who [...]

The NBA doesn’t have any points right now. Not any real ones, at least. That’s what Hall of Famer Gary Payton believes anyway. Or something close to it. Leading up to his Hall of Fame nuptials, Payton made plenty of headlines for the opinions he offered on the Association, and its past and present players. [...]

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook will soon be back together again. While touring Europe with Nike, Durant was asked about Westbrook’s return. Per Raúl Barrigón of Hoopshype (h/t ProBasketballTalk), Durant said he expects Westbrook to be back for the start of the season. At a Nike&Foot Locker event in Barcelona (Spain), Kevin Durant said he [...]

Every so often I come across something said awhile ago that I find interesting and think wasn’t talked about enough. This is one of those times. Speaking with ESPN New York’s Jared Zwerling, Carmelo Anthony said he thinks the NBA’s balance of power has shifted from the Western Conference to the Eastern Conference. “When I [...]

LeBron James would love to stay with the Miami Heat beyond this season. Kind of, sort of. He thinks. Much ado is made over LeBron’s impending free-agent nuptials. When he hits the open market again in 2014, much like he did in 2010, teams will go coo coo for cocoa puffs, then they’ll begin recruiting [...]

Brace yourself, there’s an Andrew Bogut-Andre Drummond comparison coming. Brandon Jennings has barely had any time to settle into his new digs with the Detroit Pistons, but that hasn’t stopped him from kissing some serious ass. Excuse me, I mean deservingly praising his teammates. After working out at the Pistons’ practice facility for the first [...]

I’m having flashbacks. Not good flashbacks, either. Bad ones. Really, really bad ones. Suddenly I find myself thinking about the 2011 NBA lockout. That was when this whole LeBron James playing in the NFL thing started. When he was unemployed—for want of a better word—jokes that seemed too serious were being made about him going [...]
