And you thought Dwight Howard was indecisive. Phil Jackson remains a sought after head coach. How could he not? He’s won 11 titles as a sideline stalker and in 20 years on the job, he’s never once coached a team to a record below .500. Teams want that type of resume in their locker room. [...]

Carmelo Anthony isn’t going to lose sleep over LeBron James not unanimously being voted the NBA’s MVP. Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe has been receiving plenty of criticism for choosing ‘Melo over LeBron as the league’s most valuable player, and Anthony, for the life of him, can’t seem to figure out why (via Matt [...]

Feel free to panic, but Kevin Durant won’t. After the Oklahoma City Thunder lost to the Memphis Grizzlies at home in Game 2 of the second round of the NBA playoffs, some folks were prepared to hit the panic button. To be clear, we’re talking about the same panic button the world was ready to [...]
