The New Orleans Pelicans Anthony Davis is widely considered to be a front runner for the NBA’s 2015 Most Valuable Player Award. And in some circles you can hear whispers of the ‘second coming of Tim Duncan’ given how he has been filling up the box score on both ends of the floor. Given Anthony [...]

This disaster of a season for the Knicks can’t possibly get worse? Or can it? There’s a gift and a curse about playing in New York. When you’re doing well, everyone loves you. But being in such a huge market opens you up to rumors and reports more so than smaller markets. A few days [...]

So this is why Byron Scott doesn’t have Kobe Bryant practice regularly. Here we all were thinking it was to offset the minutes that the 36-year-old Bryant is playing, yet totally shouldn’t be playing. Kobe leads the league in minutes played. At 36.

Ever imagine Stephen Curry, the greatest shooter in NBA history, playing alongside Ray Allen, who used be the greatest shooter in NBA history? Me too. I may or may not have tried such a pairing in NBA 2k for an entire dynasty. There was just something about the triumvirate of Curry, Allen and Klay Thompson that [...]

Byron Scott is trying everything possible to get the Lakers to click on all cylinders. That included benching Jeremy Lin and Carlos Boozer. And now, he’s considering having Kobe run the point.

Shaquille O’Neal has some words of wisdom for the stumbling, bumbling, fumbling, potentially feuding New York Knicks. Trust Phil Jackson and the famed triangle offense. I’m paraphrasing, of course. That’s not Shaq’s message verbatim, but it’s close. The Big Aristotle went on  SiriusXM’s Mad Dog Sports Radio channel on Tuesday and talked with Stephen A. Smith [...]

At 5-16, the Lakers are towards the bottom of the pack and look like they will be there for the entire season. But Magic Johnson would prefer if they were the worst team in the league. Magic wants the Lakers to lose every game for the rest of the season in order to get a [...]

During the offseason of 2013, the Brooklyn Nets were the talk of the league. They’d just brought in a bunch of new faces, including a brand new head coach. But after spending more than $100 million in luxury tax and not having much to show for it, the luster is gone. So is the new [...]
