The last time we saw Kenyon Martin, although he was getting up there in age, he was still a very formidable presence around the basket. In fact, he was probably a better rim protector than Tyson Chandler when the two were in the New York. Martin is a free agent who hasn’t been on an [...]

Stephen Curry has one of the prettiest strokes in the game and it stands to reason that he’ll eventually set a bunch of shooting records before his career is over. Coming into last night’s loss to the Spurs, Curry had connected on a 3-pointer in 76 consecutive games. That was good enough for 5th all [...]

Allow me to tell you a secret. Injuries suck. The NBA has been a hotbed for injuries and sad storylines early on, and it sucks and blows simultaneously. So, too, does the whole early-season confusion. There is so much inconsistency around the Association this time of year. Good teams aren’t good, bad teams aren’t bad, [...]

Remember when the season started and we mentioned Kobe was approaching a pretty negative milestone this season? In the Lakers 107-102 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies last night, Kobe Bryant added another ‘accolade’ to his resume, as he passed Boston Celtics legend John Havlicek for the most missed field goals in NBA history. At exactly [...]

Derrick Rose is 26 years old, but he’s already thinking long-term. The recently oft-injured point guard doesn’t mind sitting out games because he knows his body will thank him for that in the long-term. Most guys his age don’t have that same frame of mind, but credit Rose for saying this out loud because you [...]

adidas and University of Louisville today unveiled commemorative uniforms for the Cardinals basketball team to wear during Friday’s Armed Forces Classic at the US Coast Guard Air Station Borinquen in Puerto Rico. These limited edition uniforms feature a white and grey camouflage pattern with red and light blue trim as a nod to the Coast [...]

At this point virtually everyone under the sun is aware of the fact that Lebron James was a two-sport star in high school at St.Mary-St.Vincent in Akron, Ohio. Basketball and Football were his passions, and if it weren’t for him giving up football in favor of his virtually cemented NBA future in basketball, many speculate [...]

Tsk, tsk, Adam Silver. Don’t you know you’re not supposed to cross the Zen Master? Guess not. Obviously. Ahead of the New York Knicks’ loss to the Brooklyn Nets last Friday, the NBA commissioner was asked about Orange and Blue’s struggles under Phil Jackson. His answer was kinda, sorta, maybe, pretty much diplomatic. From the [...]

Mark Cuban’s Mavs have met up with Dwyane Wade’s Heat in the Finals twice since he’s been an owner and is 1-1. Because of the dominant performance in 2006 by Wade in the Finals (and perhaps other reasons as well), Cuban was not fond of Wade. But eight years removed from that first showdown in [...]

Mark Cuban has never been one to bite his tongue, so why start now? Due to the number of injuries that the OKC Thunder have have to deal with so far in the season, Cuban feels it’s in their best interest to tank in order to get a top draft pick. On it’s face, this [...]
