Paul Pierce can kiss the words written across Raymond Felton’s chest. Or at the very least, he can read them. The “New” and the “York” scrawled in succession on Felton’s No. 2 jersey are important. They mean that the concrete jungle is the New York Knicks’ territory. And Felton wants Pierce and the Brooklyn Nets [...]

It’s been no secret that hoops fans in the Seattle area have been longing for pro basketball in their city for a long time, essentially ever since the Sonics were moved to Oklahoma City following the 2008 NBA season. Fans in attendance at Jamal Crawford’s Seattle Pro-Am this Summer have been given a little taste [...]

Nearly a full season and a half since the NBA universe was turned upside down as we all witnessed the onset of “Linsanity”, many feel that promising Rockets point guard Jeremy Lin has “fallen off” or at least made a return to reality.

He doesn’t shy away from the tough questions nor does he feel the need to sugarcoat anything. His latest interview with Hoopsworld was indicative of [...]

At what point is Kobe Bryant no longer an underdog? To be sure, we’re not saying he’s been undervalued or anything like that his entire career. Upon being drafted out of high school and then joining the Los Angeles Lakers almost immediately, doubters rose to the surface. And it’s been that way ever since. The [...]

The Chicago Bulls have Scottie Pippen’s attention. Following a season in which the Bulls won a respectable 45 games without Derrick Rose and while navigating a labyrinth of other injuries, expectations are high in the Windy City.

Mark Cuban has given Dirk Nowitzki the power of choice. The 35-year-old forward is entering his 16th NBA season and will be a free agent next summer, at which point he can bolt or re-sign with the Dallas Mavericks, the team he has spent the last decade and a half with. All signs point to [...]
