It was a battle between two of the worst teams in the league, as the Kobe-less Lakers visited Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks for a Sunday night showdown in Madison Square Garden. And unsurprisingly, this match didn’t garner that much thrill and interest from most fans, especially, since almost everybody wasfocused on Phoenix and the [...]

Damian Lillard’s all-star snub is one of the more egregious occurrences in recent memory. Despite that, I’m not sure it justifies that letter he posted on social media minutes after learning DeMarcus Cousins was given the final spot. In any event, having to decide between Damian Lillard and DeMarcus Cousins (two guys who are definitely [...]

It has been a rough go of things early for former NBA Lottery pick CJ McCollum of the Portland Trailblazers, suffering through injuries and a lack of playing time, but things couldn’t be better for his older brother Errick, who just set the CBA individual scoring mark, tallying an amazing 82 points in a game [...]

For the 2015 BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge are these specially-designed uniforms from adidas. What used to be known as the Rookie/Sophmore game starts off the basketball festivities during the NBA All-Star Weekend and the case could be made for this game being having better displays of basketball than the actual All-Star Game on Sunday.

The up and down season for Dwight Howard continues. The big man has been battling injuries for most of the season and he’ll be sidelined again. He could miss extended time with a knee injury.

This year DeMarcus Cousins and Damian Lillard lead that group of players most fans and even experts would say deserved a spot. Well for DeMarcus Cousins at least, the problem has been solved, as the NBA just announced [...]

The Orlando Magic hasn’t been doing well this season. Currently 15-34 this season, they’re in 13th place in the Eastern Conference and improvements are needed post-haste to turn things around before the summer break if they hope to be an attractive landing spot for available talent. Reports have been swirling that their current head coach—Jacque [...]

Last year as a second year player, Damian Lillard was selected by the coaches to be an all-star reserve in the Western Conference. Since that had already been established, it seemed only logical that with Portland being third in the West, and Lillard having better numbers this year than last year at this time, he’d [...]

Question of the week: Do any of the NBA’s Eastern Conference fringe playoff teams actually want to make the postseason? Asking for a friend or 50 here. Seriously, once you leave the East’s top-six teams—Hawks(!), Raptors, Wizards, Bulls, Cavaliers and Bucks—it feels like you’ve entered the “Let’s try and suck as much as possible in order to [...]

The summer of 2016 can’t get here soon enough. The race for Kevin Durant won’t quite match 2010’s hysteria, but it will be up there. Kevin Durant has sounded open to the possibility of playing for his hometown Wizards, but he also seems very attached to the OKC community. But are the Knicks in play [...]
