The Miami Heat didn’t have quite as drastic of a summer as they did in 2010, but they still have a more than decent squad. Sure, they missed the playoffs last year in the first post-LeBron year, but let’s not forget they were without Chris Bosh for much of the season. On paper, a starting [...]

Aside from laying on the ground and hugging the basketball in joy after an 8th seeded Nuggets team beat a top seeded SuperSonics team after being down 0-2 in the first round of a mid-90’s playoff series, Dikembe Mutombo is probably best known for his time in Atlanta. Even so, he was only a Hawk [...]

Tweet to @THDkicks Contining on the story started with the ‘Hunt’s Hill Sunrise’ colorway is this new edition of the KD8. For the new ‘Hunt’s Hill Night’ Nike KD8 colorway inspiration comes from the colors seen outside at night around Kevin Durant’s childhood neighborhood. A grey textile called Flyweave makes up the entire upper sits [...]

Kobe Bryant joined former teammate/rival Shaquille O’Neal on The Big Podcast with Shaq, and it was everything you could ever expect. So long as you were expecting a ton of cliches that only supported the notion that these two, once serial head-butters with the Los Angeles Lakers, are now cool. One of the anecdotes, however, [...]

DeAndre Jordan is changing his mind again. No, he’s not trying to renege on his deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. But he is leaving his agents at Relativity Sports following a controversial free-agency process in which he almost spurned the Clippers for the Dallas Mavericks. Broderick Turner of the Los Angeles Times first broke [...]

Tristan Thompson appears to be holding firm on his demands for more money. He reportedly turned down a 5-year, $80 million deal from the Cavs because he feels he deserves the max. He’s so set on that notion because he feels he can get that money from Toronto next summer. At what point does the [...]

Anthony Davis is like the Energizer Bunny of fear: He just keeps getting scarier and scarier and scarier and scarier. Last week, we riffed on the Brow bulking up and turning the NBA’s fellow power forwards and centers into his own personal playthings. Now we’re back to him incorporating three-pointers into his already-expansive arsenal. Yes, [...]

For someone who’s battled myriad injuries and, as of now, doesn’t rank in the top half of his position pool, Ricky Rubio ambles his way into the NBA’s rumor mill quite often. While responding Bleacher Report’s Ric Bucher buying that the Minnesota Timberwolves would move, or at least shop, Rubio this coming season, ESPN 1500’s [...]

D’Angelo Russell hasn’t yet played a regular season game for the Lakers yet, but he’s not making many fans so far. A few weeks ago, he tweeted out that he thought Tracy McGrady was the “GOAT,” to which Kobe Bryant replied: [tweet https://twitter.com/kobebryant/status/632367332262711296?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Russell is certainly entitled to his opinion and shouldn’t be forced to [...]

History has proved that skilled big men have been, and always will be in high demand in the NBA, as 7 foot superstars like Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O’Neal have dominated the sport since it’s existence. That’s perhaps the reason why the OKC Thunder overpaid this offseason to secure the services of restricted [...]
