It’s not that easy being Udonis Haslem, although it should be. When the Miami Heat first began their Big Three experiment, it was expected that Haslem was going to take a backseat. He wasn’t as skilled offensively as Chris Bosh, LeBron Jame and Dwyane Wade, so naturally, his role on that end of the ball [...]

When the Philadelphia 76ers somehow found a way to wiggle their way into the Dwight Howard trade talks late, and somehow bring Andrew Bynum to the “City of Brotherly Love”, the move invigorated the rabid Philly fanbase and instantly gave the Sixers the franchise player they have been missing since Allen Iverson was traded to [...]

It’s been well written about Allen Iverson’s never ending quest to make a return to the NBA, a journey that has now taken him halfway around the globe to China. After first taking his talents to Europe to play for Turkish team Beskitas in 2010, it was announced in early September that the now 36 [...]

Dwight Howard was on the court Tuesday, participating in his second straight contact-drill filled practice. These are the first few on-court tests since Howard went down to an injured back, requiring surgery. Though he participated in essentially all drills-including offensive and defensive skeleton sets-Howard was held out of the night session 5-5 scrimmage. There are [...]

The Sacramento Kings are a mess, they have been for six years. But this season can mark one of change, a shift in fortunes. And such a transformation begins, and ends, with DeMarcus Cousins.
