To any hoops fan under the age of 30, asking a question of whether recently retired Tracy McGrady belongs in the Naismith Hall of Fame may be a ridiculous proposition. I mean, the guy has played for 5 teams over the past 5 seasons and has been nothing more than a glorified role player since [...]

Dwight Howard retrospectively strikes again. Since spurning the Los Angeles Lakers to play for the Houston Rockets, the reports haven’t stopped. Rumors have surfaced every which way you turn, like he still hadn’t made a decision or something. Only we’re nearly two months removed from his decision. Still, his link to the Lakers has yet [...]

Ever since the 2012 NBA Playoffs, Pacers center Roy Hibbert has really made a name for himself as one of the best all-around big men in the Association, or at least in the Eastern Conference. The former NCAA standout at Georgetown started his career slowly, averaging only 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds as a rookie [...]

While signing autographs, the New York Daily News‘ Stefan Bondy (h/t ProBasketballTalk) writes that Kidd said he wants Williams averaging at least [...]

Metta World Peace never misses an opportunity to tell it like it is. Sometimes, he elects to tell it like it isn’t too, when he’s feeling particularly spunky. Mostly, he’s a source of incorruptible honesty, someone who isn’t afraid to say what everyone else is. And that hasn’t changed. Appearing on Fox Sports 1’s Crowd [...]

Magic Johnson would like to respectfully disagree with LeBron James. In an interview with Fox Sports’ Bill Reiter, The King was asked to name his top three NBA players of all time. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Julius Erving—that’s who he picked. And he also named Magic, after saying it was too difficult to select [...]

It’s hard to believe that Kobe Bean Bryant, otherwise known as the “Black Mamba”, turns 35 years old today. I still can remember Kobe as an arrogant teenager back in 1996, when he was already being mentioned in the same breath as NBA all time great Wilt Chamberlain, as he was shattering Pennsylvania state high [...]

Iman Shumpert is going to let the New York Knicks’ play do the talking. Newly crowned member of the Brooklyn Nets Paul Pierce has a personal vendetta he is seeking to carry about against the Knicks.
