Nothing beats that awkward moment when you realize the New York Knicks are still in the playoff race. I’m kidding. Save for their massive letdown against the Kyrie Irving-less Cleveland Cavaliers, the Knicks have been playing some nice ball of late—so much so, that we can mention “NBA playoffs” and “the Knicks” in the same [...]

March Madness, here the NBA comes. While many of you remain transfixed on your television screens, waiting to see how long it takes before Wichita State gets screwed by vengeful and begrudging bracketing practices, some of us still care about the NBA. And its playoff race. And whether or not LeBron James can win another [...]

Three cheers, eight fist-pumps and infinite twerks for movement. The NBA is rife with movement this week. Goliaths fell, Davids ascended and the enfeebled experienced success. Translation: It’s been weird in the NBA lately. (Spoiler alert.) (Seriously.) (Don’t read what comes next if you don’t want to ruin the below contents.) (I’m not joking.) (Okay, [...]

Could the next great NBA dyad already be planning an inevitable union? Don’t count on it, in part because Josh Smith and Rajon Rondo wouldn’t qualify as one of the great pairings; mostly because it’s just not going to happen. Before the Boston Celtics handed the Detroit Pistons another loss on Sunday evening, Smith openly [...]

The NBA’s Eastern Conference is good, man. Just kidding. It’s awful. All kinds of awful. The most awfullest thing ever. Picture the worst meal you’ve ever ate. Then envision yourself eating said meal alongside your most insufferable ex. And then imagine what it would feel like if that meal and rendezvous took place in the [...]

Welcome to the rest of  the NBA season. With the All-Star break in our rear-view mirror, things are starting to get serious. They’re heating up. The Heat are heating up. Playoff berths and positions are on the line as the Association prepares for the latter quarter of its campaign. And so is lottery order, which [...]

It’s almost here. No, not real life pocket-sized lightsabers. Those are still a ways off. The NBA trade deadline. That’s what almost here. Thursday at 3 p.m. ET , the deadline will come to pass, at which point, the Association’s power structure could experience a seismic shift, inciting disorder into an already-crazed season. Or, more [...]

Wow. The New York Knicks are a mess. Let’s not mince words. They’re 12 games under .500, outside the Eastern Conference’s ugly playoff picture and now pursuing unrealistic trades like a child pursues oversized lollipops in a candy store. But don’t worry, because at least Mike Woodson is safe(ish). Raymond Felton, on the other hand, [...]

Happy (almost) NBA All-Star Weekend everyone. Something is in the air, and it’s not love. Well, maybe a little bit of love. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, after all. Most of what you’re sensing, though, is more chaos. Although the top-most teams remain relatively consistent in their performance, the mediocre and bottom-feeding outfits [...]

With all the talk about where Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James will end up this summer, money and salary are on the minds of NBA GM’s as usual, but it got us thinking about the richest players in the NBA today. 10-T. Shawn Marion 35-year old 4-time All-Star Shawn Marion has made about $10 million [...]
