Well it’s official: The NBA is a forest fire of craziness. To wit: A lot has happened since we last met. Kevin Garnett decided to head-hump Dwight Howard amid the Net’s demonstrative downturn; the Pistons decided to be an actual basketball team; the Knicks and Celtics let Sam Hinkie know they’re coming for his (pingpong) balls; [...]

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is said to have worked closely with adidas on the 2015 Black History Month collection. Each adidas sneaker has a specific set of quotes and references: Crazy 8 – “Fundamentals are the Foundation for Excellence – ‘61 –‘65” The Crazy 8 features a canvas upper to pay homage to basketball shoes of the [...]

James Harden was superb against his former team on Thursday night as he led the Rockets to a 112-101 victory over the Thunder and finished with a game-high of 31 points on 9 of 15 shooting while nailing 6 three pointers. And during the second period of the game, Harden showed how much he really [...]

The NBA Slam Dunk Contest has definitely been a fan favorite segment as usually the most athletic stars participate in this event and showcase their high-flying and [...]

Another day, another chance for the New York Knicks to contradict themselves. Team president Phil Jackson has already pillaged through the roster’s limited talent supply, trading Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith for jack. It’s widely known he may not be done either, which, in layman’s terms, means Jose Calderon better not get too comfortable. It [...]

Tristan Thompson was a high lottery pick by the Cavs a few years back, but it appears he may just be a very solid role player. Nothing wrong that. Every team needs those. But just because he’s perceived as a role player doesn’t mean that’s how he views how much he’s worth. Thompson reportedly turned [...]

The Boston Celtics’ fire sale continued when they got rid of Jameer Nelson for Nate Robinson. Well actually, Nate Robinson’s expiring contract that is. Robinson is being bought out which clears some cap space for the Celtics. Danny Ainge is apparently getting rid of anything that isn’t nailed to the ground. I like what he’s [...]

It was a memorable Tuesday night for the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were currently riding a 15-game losing skid. Not only did they get the win, but their point guard Mo Williams provided the best scoring performance in their franchise’s history.
