Going out as winners is for losers. Right now, anyway. Fourth title of the Big Three era in hand, the San Antonio Spurs could call it quits. Not disband as a franchise literally, but cease to exist as we know them. Tim Duncan could retire with five rings, his most recent memory that of becoming [...]

Passive. Shy. Polite. Quiet. All of those words could have been used to describe NBA draft prospect and Kansas Jayhawks alum Andrew Wiggins a few weeks ago. But now he’s turning those assumptions typically associated with moderate NBA success inside out and exuding confidence and bravado and outspokenness we never really saw while he was [...]

That didn’t take long. The San Antonio Spurs haven’t even cracked their last bottle of NBA championship bubbly—or Tim Duncan’s case, NBA championship warm milk—yet, and already the focus has shifted to the team they dethroned. [tweet https://twitter.com/danfavale/status/478376989725057025] This always figured to be a big offseason for the Miami Heat, what with LeBron James, Dwyane [...]

With two forgettable seasons in the rearview mirror for Derrick Rose, everyone has to be unsure if his knees will hold up in the future. Granted, each injury was completely unrelated, but that’s the part that makes his future even more scary. Rose has stated previously that he wanted to play for Team USA this [...]

Now that the World Cup is here, Jordan Brand jumps into the fray of sportswear companies with themed releases surrounding the (actual) Football event being held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil by releasing the limited ‘Brazil Pack’ featuring new colorways of the Air Jordan VI (6) and Jordan CP3.VII AE as well as a complete [...]

The NBA Finals were more than a little lopsided. Even Chris Bosh said the Spurs hammered them and were ‘the best team I’ve ever played against’. But that didn’t mean the exciting, highlight worthy plays didn’t go both ways. The Spurs ball movement and technical offense was something to watch, and as usual the Heat’s [...]

With the entire world watching, many guys on the Spurs made a name for themselves. Kawhi Leonard no doubt leads that list, but Patty Mills is on their too. Whenever he relieved Parker, the Spurs offense didn’t miss a beat. Mills is arguably just as quick as Tony and has a better outside shot. Because [...]

Dirk Nowitzki is speaking for the entire Dallas Mavericks organization when he clears his throat, turns to Carmelo Anthony and says, “Yo, what up?” The New York Knicks superstar is expected to hit free agency this summer, at which point he could leave for greener pastures, roads paved in honey and gold and all that [...]

The Miami Heat have a lot of decisions to make this summer. That goes for both the players and management. The roster needs tweaks and guys need to decide what they’d like to do financially. There has been much talk about Wade, James and Bosh, but Chris Andersen also has the ability to opt-out of [...]

That’s all she wrote folks. Roughly eight months later, we have an NBA champion. It’s the San Antonio Spurs, who unseated the Miami Heat in convincing fashion, ruining their three-peat hopes in a matter of five games. Duplicating last year’s performance was always utterly impossible. This matchup spanned seven games and took a number of [...]
