Kevin Durant probably feels like he has a lot to prove this year. Coming off of a campaign where he only played 27 games and had to watch his team narrowly miss the postseason, he no doubt can’t wait to get back out there. All signs point to him being ready to go at the [...]

New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis is in Carmelo Anthony’s good graces. That is, so long as being allowed to play five-on-five with Melo at Melo’s gym constitutes as being in Melo’s good graces. We’re going to assume it does. Anyway, here’s the brief low-down from the New York Post‘s Marc Berman: Porzingis said he’s [...]

LeBron James doesn’t give two flying brown-colored bowel movements that NBA training camps aren’t quite ready to open. His Cleveland Cavaliers are getting work in now. Or soon. According to Northeast Ohio Media Group’s Chris Haynes, LeBron isn’t quite over Cleveland’s loss to the Golden State Warriors in last June’s NBA Finals and has “summoned” [...]

Kyrie Irving fractured his knee cap towards the end of game 1 of the Finals and the Cavs were doomed from that point on. Initial reports suggested that Kyrie wouldn’t be back on the court until January, the recent reports suggest that he’ll be back sooner than that. Given his history of injuries, the Cavs [...]

Kevin Garnett has rookie Karl-Anthony Towns’ back. The 19-year-old Towns, who was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the first over pick in this year’s draft, was born a little bit after the 39-year-old Garnett made his NBA debut, and now they’re teammates, which is flipping cray and just out of this world.

Of course you did, because you’ve haven’t been living on Pluto these last few months, and even if you were, you’d probably still know. I’m not sure how, and I know it’s impossible on every front ever, but [...]

So much for Carmelo Anthony not being committed, or particularly keen on, the New York Knicks’ future. Perhaps he’s still not feeling great and struggling to sustain an optimistic slant in the face of an extensive rebuild that became all too real as soon as the Knicks drafted long-term project Kristaps Porzingis. But, at the [...]

Ready for some good news? Yeah you are. I’ll be leaving for vacation soon, probably, I think. Oh, and there’s a growing sense on some level within the NBA that there won’t be another lockout in 2017, when both the owners and players have the opportunity to opt-out of the current deal that expires in [...]

Andrew Wiggins wouldn’t be Andrew Wiggins without his insane leaping ability. We’ve all had the pleasure of seeing him posterize a handful of players with his death-defying dunks during his rookie season. And now, heading towards his sophomore year, the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft is going to be even more fun [...]
