Well, at least Rajon Rondo is honest. Maybe too honest. On Tuesday night, Rondo got to talking about the expectations for the Sacramento Kings this season. While he would say he thinks that they can exceed expectations, he did so while admitting expectations aren’t high to begin with. Per ESPN.com’s Baxter Holmes: Rajon Rondo told [...]

Manu Ginobili is a good dude. No, I’ve never met him, or even interviewed over the phone. I’ve yet to even see him play in person. There is so much I don’t know about him, I shouldn’t draw any conclusions about the person he is off the basketball court. To me, he should just be [...]

Offensively, he’s probably the most versatile scorer in the business, but on the other end, not so much. Melo is apparently willing to put his neck out in the name of better defense.

KD is back in full force. And he proved it last night in one of the NBA preseason global games against Istanbul Fenerbahce Sports Club. Check out this drive to the tin and flush on NBA prospect Jan Vesely. Sick. Wicked. Nasty. Durant wants that MVP this season. No doubt. Please enable Javascript to watch [...]

Markieff Morris is having a weird few months. The Phoenix Suns traded his brother, Marcus Morris, to the Detroit Pistons in what was clearly a salary dump as the team attempted to become part of the LaMarcus Aldridge sweepstakes after signing Tyson Chandler. Marcus has since called the Suns out, leaving no doubt that he [...]

Kobe Bryant is not universally loved. We’ve known this, of course, for a while. His personality can be tough to like, even difficult to overlook. He’s made a name for himself over the last 20 years as a psychopathic competitor who doesn’t have time to be bothered with normal shit, such as deep-seated relationships with [...]
