Rumors

Blake Griffin pulled out of Team USA activities because of a bad back, but he’d like everyone to know that he’s doing just fine. Two years ago, a bad knee forced him to back out of the Olympics, so precaution is the key word here. Backs and knees are the two most sacred areas for [...]

Largely because of his crazy athleticism, Andrew Wiggins was taken first overall. I say largely because it’s clear he’s not the most NBA-ready player in this year’s draft. Jabari Parker seems much further along. Apparently, the rest of the NBA’s rookie class agrees. The rooks got together recently for a photo shoot and they were [...]

Greg Oden is a currently a free agent and this probably won’t help his pursuit of landing a gig. Oden has been cited after allegedly punching a woman in the face. The alleged incident happened last night/this morning in Indiana. We’ll see what comes of this. NBA player Greg Oden was arrested in Lawrence, Ind. [...]

The San Antonio Spurs have never been known to try and fit in. They just do what they feel is right in the name of winning. Proof of that is their recent move to hire Becky Hammon as an assistant coach, becoming the first woman to be paid by an NBA team as an assistant. [...]

Andrew Wiggins signed his rookie deal a few weeks ago and as a result, he can’t be dealt until the 23rd of August. But that doesn’t mean the Cavs and Wolves can’t still work on the deal. Apparently they have been and have agreed in principle on a trade. A “handshake” deal of sorts. Details [...]

It doesn’t get much worse than the injury Paul George suffered over the weekend. Injuries are a part of the game, but it’s unfortunate it had to happen during a scrimmage. Now, everyone is panicking over whether or not stars will want to play in international competition in the future. Let’s not get carried away: [...]

When the entire LeBron free agency ordeal was going down, Chris Bosh was reportedly overseas on vacation. So, not only was he away, but LeBron reportedly wasn’t talking to anybody while he was making up his mind. That left Bosh, who had a max offer on the table from the Rockets, in the dark. By [...]

When the Finals concluded, even though he was coy in his final press conference after game 5’s loss to the Spurs, many felt as if LeBron James was returning to the Heat. Not many felt Cleveland was in the cards. We were all in for a rude awakening about three weeks later. Apparently, so was [...]

For as long as David Stern was commish of the league, he made it one of his duties to make the NBA a global brand. This is evident by way of preseason games in London and other international endeavors. Largely, he succeeded in his quest but of course, there are endless possibilities. Since he was [...]

Every player has a shelf-life and Metta World Peace’s has probably expired. He hasn’t garnered much attention this summer in terms of free agency and he’s probably already swung his last elbow in the NBA. Because of this realization, he’s entertaining an offer to play overseas. That’s not a bad idea for a guy like [...]
