After easing into retirement from professional basketball, Shaquille O’Neal still remains very relevant to the basketball community thru his current focus of being an on-air personality for the NBA as well as a partial team owner. His footwear choices from the early 1990s helped shape the current signature sneaker landscape as well know it now. [...]

Not sure why this took so long. Mike D’Antoni unceremoniously quit as Lakers coach on April 30, and nearly three full months later, they’ve finally offered someone the job. That someone is Byron Scott, who has been the reported frontrunner for a while now. Even though Kobe is on his way out, he publicly endorsed [...]

The Chicago Bulls will want to remember this moment—the moment when we find out why Marc Gasol didn’t recruit his brother, Pau Gasol, to play for the Memphis Grizzlies. Speculation began early this year about the two reuniting in Memphis. Pau was a free agent. The Los Angeles Lakers were sucking wind. Zach Randolph might [...]

There’s a chance Ray Allen will have plenty of time to pursue a sequel to He Got Game. The Miami Heat shooting guard, NBA champion and inevitable Hall of Famer has yet to make a decision on his future. Will he retire? Will he come back. WE NEED TO KNOW. This is killing us. We [...]

Someone, anyone, must explain the Chicago Bulls’ sudden infatuation with Kevin Love. After adding Pau Gasol to a frontcourt rotation that already includes Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson, and after basically removing themselves from the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes by asking him to take a ridiculously large pay cut, the Bulls are apparently making a competitive [...]

Kids say the darndest things, don’t they. Especially at the most inopportune time or places. Dwyane Wade can attest to that. While at the Dwyane Wade & Brandon Marshall Sports Academy & Cheerleading Skills Camp, Wade was apparently asked by a kid why he flops. Able to make light of such a situation, Wade recalled [...]

During Sterling-related press conferences in last year’s playoffs, Doc Rivers seemed very troubled by the entire situation.
