Four time NBA MVP Lebron James will forever be known as the best high school player to come out of Ohio, but he is getting some competition when it comes to all time prep scorers in the Buckeye state. 5 star University of Duke commit Luke Kennard’s legend as a prolific scorer continues to grow [...]

This could have been a Kobe Bryant versus LeBron James show, which would certainly have garnered a lot more interest and ratings, but it wasn’t. On Sunday night, this spectacular highlight from Kyrie Irving pretty much summed up how the Lakers and the Cavaliers are doing this season. The Lakers (13-38) are one of the [...]

With Clippers power forward Blake Griffin unable to participate in this years All-Star Game due to an injury—NBA Commissioner Adam Silver immediately took action by announcing Griffin’s replacement, and without any surprise—it will be Blazer’s point guard Damian Lillard. Lillard has undoubtedly been having a fantastic season and the Blazers wouldn’t be one of the [...]

The Kentucky Wildcats have been perfect so far this season, getting out to a 22-0 unblemished start to the 2014-15 NCAA season. A huge factor in their run to be the first team to go undefeated since the Indiana Hoosiers has been the play of junior center Willie Cauley-Stein, whom combines some insane athleticism, lock-down [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire’s time with the Knicks may finally be coming to an end. Almost a half-decade ago, the Knicks handed him a five-year, $100 million contract that has become the symbol for all that was wrong with the impulsive and reflexive and logic-eschewing franchise. The upcoming summer has long been the light at the end [...]

Is it just me or is this year’s three point contest the event to watch at this year’s all-star weekend in New York. As a shooting guard I’ve always personally loved that event as much as the dunk contest, but with the decline in popularity of the dunk contest, rookie game, and even the all-star [...]

Old Stories that players tell can sometimes be more entertaining that recollections of an actual game. It’s part of what makes NBATV’s “Open Court” such a great watch. Last night, Kobe Bryant paid a visit to Jimmy Fallon and the two recalled the first time they met each other. They were sent on a beer [...]
